This is exactly my point. There seems to be a mind-set here that a man beating a woman is doing so wrongfully and must be taught a lesson, whereas a woman beating a man must just be restrained before she goes too far.
The random displays of internet machismo that we've seen on this thread don't particularly impress me. By 'handing out an ass-kicking' to anyone you are effectively judging and sentencing someone for something that you have absolutely no prior knowledge of whatsoever, which (to quote my parents) is neither big nor clever.
