If you don't know anyone who thinks it's okay for men to use force to control their wives and children, that's probably at least in part because social groups are self-selecting.

I don't know anyone personally who argues that whites are superior to non-whites and should get first shot at jobs and places in good schools, or who advocates segretation of residential neighborhoods and keeping blacks out of trade unions. That doesn't mean such people no longer exist, that discrimination no longer happens, or even that thugs never firebomb homes sold to black families in previously all-white neighborhoods.

I see a lot of very casual advocacy of spanking online, usually of the template "I saw a parent [usually but not always a mother] in a public place with a rowdy or disobedient child(ren). The child should have been immediately spanked and taken home." I have no way of knowing what percentage of the people saying these things have children themselves, what percentage of them were spanked when they were children, nor yet how seriously they mean it. But there's plenty of "children who behave inappropriately should be spanked" (for widely varying values of "inappropriately," and for values of "chidren" ranging from infants up to early teens).
