Seriously? If you hit a woman you are basically a piece of shit. Nope, they have fought so hard for equal rights. They should be treated just the same as a man. If one wants physicality, they shall get it. Now, there is a line that can be crossed, and it is up to each individual to draw the line. Do you know any woman who picketed and fights for equal rights? Then you shouldn't hit one. I sure do and I know several feminists now. They would actually agree with me. Gender does not matter when it comes to violence. If you strike someone else, you should be ready to be striken yourself. The ONLY exception would be children. Now of course I don't expect a man two times the size of a woman to be fighting with her, that's just assinine. . . Unless she's emdangering his life of course.
