This is how I previously thought. No man can hit a woman. Ever. well...until I let my friend's girlfriend drive him and us back to his house one time. He blew her off to go fishing with me and his car broke down so she was nice enough to come get us (probably only because she was a friend of mine and I didn't know that he had). Naturally they start fighting about it on the way home and she just snapped, she said she had enough and was going to kill him. She let go of the steering wheel pushed the gas to the floor and just starting hitting him like crazy. He tried to steer and just take it but she was making things too difficult so hit her. And suddenly I had the learned the real moral that should be applied when men hit women, rather when anyone hits anyone: stand up for those who can't stand up for themselves be it man, woman or child.

It's not about gender hitting gender, its about using your physical advantage to harm another person. Really, its about an unfair fight. Most men are bigger and stronger than most women and that is just the way things are. So in almost all cases men shouldn't be hitting women. If a man is big enough to stop a woman from causing him physical harm but doesn't because he thinks it would be wrong, then yeah, it's his problem and I'm not going to do a thing about it. But if he can't get her to stop any other way and hits her, I can live with that.
