How many parents used the martinet on their daughters in France in the 1960s and 1970s? What body part was it applied to?

The term "martinet" refers to a form of corporal punishment, specifically the use of a flexible rod or strap. While detailed statistics on the number of parents who used such punishment in France during the 1960s and 1970s are not readily available, it is known that corporal punishment was more common in that era compared to contemporary standards. Typically, the martinet was applied to the buttocks. Over time, societal attitudes toward corporal punishment have shifted significantly, leading to increased advocacy for non-violent forms of discipline.
