It was a statement. Still, it's not really an even match, is it, for a man who's considerably taller and considerably heavier to strike someone smaller than they are?

Oh puuuhhlleeeze

You know exactly what he means, which is for the most part men are larger stronger than woman and, therefore, it is cad like behaviour for a man to hit a woman. Then again, if you think it is okay for a guy to hit a girl, so be it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but feminists have never condoned a man striking a woman. Unless I missed something or there's some kind of new "we want to be treated equally -- so slap us around all you want" rule.

No, because of what Stew said. Putting women and children in the same category is definitely not on their program.

Sounds like a plan to me

They are both in general weaker than men

Ofcourse not. But they also don't like women being portrayed as helpless.

Point of the matter is, and I hate repeating myself, but violence is never the answer, men hitting women, or women hitting men. It doesn't have anything to do with weight or height.

i don't think it's okay under all circumstances, but if i were a guy and a woman hit me

I feel like we've reversed roles here. Aren't you usually playing the devil's advocate?

I am sure I do not know what you mean - I am always just stating the facts

I'd be the last guy to portray a woman as being helpless -- I come from a family where the ratio of women to men is 3:1, and every one of those women could hold their own in any situation. However, there isn't a single instance where a man striking one of them would ever be even remotely acceptable, in my opinion.
