I know! I am extremely excited to see what the future holds. Peaceful parenting isn't viewed with nearly the same derision as even I held it in. Despite the vociferous disapproval of the violent authoritarians who simply won't change, parents left and right (at least in my experience) have been reconsidering what it means to discipline kids without using force. Part of it I think stems from the idea that parents are supposed to be in control, and no spanking advocate I've ever spoken to will advocate spanking from a position of uncontrollable anger. The other part is people are genuinely starting to realize that kids without the ability to reason also lack the ability to understand why they're being spanked.
What a time to be alive, like you said! :D
