The Spanked Wives Club

A remarkable post on Plector’s (excellent but decidely NSFW) Tumblr site the other day featured the front page of the LA Times from 26 January, 1938. Hidden towards the foot of the page was the following item:

Oh. My. Goodness. “Spare the hairbrush and spoil the wife”? 59 such clubs around the US? “Daughters of Spanking Parents” societies? “Wanted: venue with lots of cushions for regular meetings”, I assume!

Surely someone was playing a trick on the esteemed newspaper. At least, I rather hope so, much as I can’t help but wonder what they actually did in their gatherings…

    Amazing! It can’t be real.

    Or can it?

    Girls 11 or older, though. I don’t know about that.

    I don’t know about the daughters/parents one, but I wonder of the WHSC is still around.
