Will someone please explain why hitting a girl is bad but hitting a guy is fine?

Most girls are by default weaker than men, and a slap in the face that could leave a guy pissed off will most likely transport them to Narnia for half an hour.
If they are weaker we "should" not hit them, just like you wouldn't hit a guy with glasses ether.

Men and Women are not 'equal' in the sense that they are the 'same'. The word is used to say that while different in many ways, both sexes are of equal value to society. Thus, hitting women, who may well be physically weaker or with less aptitude for violence, is not very 'manly'. The equality between the sexes is about societal value, not physicality or ability.
Besides all that, would I hit somebody just because 'I can'? I wouldn't hit a woman, because I respect the 'office' that women fill. That is the office of 'the mother', 'the nurturer' and 'life giver' and have been brought up to protect that. The instinct that someone 'needs to be hit' for something, is not an instinct to revel in, if one values advancement.

Are you serious OP? I really, really hope this is trolling. Otherwise, I'll explain it. ONLY SCUMBAGS HIT WOMEN. Equality has nothing to do with it. Fairness between the sexes is based on opportunities afforded each gender being equal. It isn't a physical thing. Most sports aren't co-ed, certainly no contact sports are. No-one pretends men and women are physically equal. Any man that hits a woman is the very worst kind of scum imaginable.
Men are generally stronger, and whenever a man blows off steam on his girlfriend by hitting her when she can't defend herself, that's when it's unacceptable.
Same reason guys can't use the women's public toilets YOU JUST CAN'T!!eggy32 said:
Don't give me that "but that's sexism" bullshit, women ARE physically weaker than men, a punch that would barely phase a guy can shatter a girl's jaw. It's the same reason men and women cannot punch a kid, and that's not ageism.
Of course there are exceptions (such as if your life is in immediate danger) but that "he hit her" is not normally expected.
It's just it is only sometimes "accepted" for guys to punch each other in the face as (1) they can take the physical attacks, and (2) this is part of natural male confrontation, better thump each other in the face and resolve it there than let the rage escalate into calculated murder.
Women don't want equally. They want to be paid like men and treated like women.cheftacular said:
It makes no sense to me either.
I personally don't hit anyone unless they attack first, regardless of gender or anything else.

If your getting attacked by a women, subduing her is a valid course. To hit implies to strike and men are generally strong enough to take her down gently and avoid lashing out. Therefore it is a little odd to say you will strike a women. If she was truly going at you and you didn't have much of a choice then yes, I would even smash her in, for my own safety. But it's just a little harsh to say you would in casual conversation.
It's also an honour thing. Pick on someone your own size-like rule encoded into our culture.

We were having a discussion about this in my English class. I brought up this exact point, but I forgot my teacher was a feminist-hippie-creep. Big mistake.twasdfzxcv said:
Traditional gender roles. As women have always been seen as the 'weaker sex', and were therefore expected to be passive, it simply wasn't on for a man to abuse his physical superiority. That attitude is pretty bullshit, sure, but you'll still find that a lot of women are abused violently/sexually by men. Anyway, I consider any violence to be bad, not least because i'm weak as a kitten myself.
also, some people here seem to be confusing 'different' with 'inferior'. I don't give a shit if men are (typically) stronger or if women have different organs. Socially, you're still equals. No reason for it to be otherwise.

God damn ninjas, stealing my thoughts...WanderFreak said:
Bravo, sir.
Equal opportunity means I can kick the asses of all threats that come my way, not just the male ones!
If strength was what matters in a fight, big strong men wouldn't be killed all the time, by the way, Internet.
Honestly I don't know. Personally I cannot hit a girl even if they piss me off to the point where if she was a guy I would have slit their fucking throat and curb stomped their head in. I will cuss them the fuck out and make them feel like shit though. But I cannot bring myself to get into a fist fight with them.
