I would not go so far as to say it's NEVER acceptable to hit a woman, because I believe that everyone has a right to self-defense including men who are dealing with a woman who has initiated violence against him.
I do think it's wrong for a person of either sex to hit another person over a any disagreement (including the ones listed in the OP), and wish that society, as well as law, would hold everyone, both male and female, to the standard that it's wrong to hit another person for any reason other than self-defense. I also think that the penalty for violating such a standard should fall equally on all violators, regardless of their gender.
Edit: Should have read BadNick's post before making mine
