Perhaps it's mostly not used. I'm not sure because I went to school in New Jersey where it's outlawed even in private schools.

No,no it's not. Things can be different without being weird. Weird is a judgement while different is a fact. For example, I could say BBC opinion pieces are weird garbage but that would be an opinion. I could say "man it's weird this is so high up on hackernews with no comments and six points", that would be an opinion too.
The internet is a better place if we engage with the actual content of articles and not just the headline. By only engaging solely with the headline you are just encouraging more clickbait by proving to content creators that the headline is all that matters.
This headline does represent the article. The article talks about different cultural practices but is questioning if one of them is weird because it doesn't conform to other groups practices.
Do you normally call people or groups of people weird in a newspaper because they don't conform with what you consider your 'normal' cultural practices? Would you consider that a feature of an inclusive society?
The internet would be a better place if opinion pieces were kept on separate websites from news, and people wouldn't need to criticize how they're written. Then there'd be a lot less worry about if it was weird.

As a parent you are simply betraying the unconditional love and trust your child has in you.
So what is the child betraying when he/she hits the parent?

The only weird one to me is the western way "do not hit your kids." Downvotes welcome.
Its less prevalent in Asia than it used to be. I got hit as a kid. It wasnt a big deal. But we dont as a rule, discipline our own son in the same way.
It is not the hit, it is the words. Parents manipulate their children using words, and that's worse in my eyes.
Definitely something that my wife and I struggle with. She's Vietnamese British, I'm Vietnamese American ; both of us current living in the U.S. Despite what our training classes recommend, we're co-sleeping with our 17 month year old daughter and it feels more intuitive.
So - if you don't mind the question, sorry for asking if you do - how/when you have sex?
My answer would be that you do it while the baby sleeps, and you do it less. Otherwise on the odd occasion you’re away from the baby. It’s a drag. Though in my experience I was always so tired, it was generally a lower priority.
Others might have had a different experience though.
Obviously, this is a broad oversimplification, but I do think the way we manage our kids time and limit their freedom is problematic.
That said, I think many of the problems stem from good intentions and unintended consequences. For example:
1. We don't want our kids to get hit by a car, so we tell them only to play in the back yard. 2. In many homes, both parents want a fulfilling career, so most kids are in some kind of child-care after school, so our kids don't have others to play with in the neighbourood.

The theory goes that children are programmed by nature to prevent more offspring. A sort of incentive here.
Looking online there are mixed reviews of whether co sleeping hurt the adult relationship.

Hitting a child is abuse and it's not effective.
It is not abuse, if it used for the kids own good. Yes it is not always effective but in some case it is.
