What is the primary reason men shouldn't hit women?

NOTE: In no way am I condoning physical abuse or saying it is ever appropriate. I am just looking for opinions

That said, what is the primary reason men shouldn't hit women? Is it because of physical superiority? If the man was skinny and the same size as the woman, would physical violence be as acceptable as a woman hitting the man?

    Because civilized humans should NEVER raise a hand against another human, regardless of gender.

    Violence is simply uncivilized behavior, and should never be tolerated.

    How about - BECAUSE IT'S WRONG!!! It doesn't have to be any more complicated or convoluted then that! Would YOU like it if someone hit you in the face? NO! What a stupid question! Hitting one another is an act of violence or aggression againts another human being. It has nothing to do with being man or woman! Did you get beat up a lot when you were a kid or something? Just askin?

    @ Ray J - You sound like the type to do just that - Beat up your mother lately? Nice, you twit!

    And because thw Law says no. Men are usually superior stronger than wome or they used to be, not quite sure about nowadays, and really have no reason to hit any women no matter what the reason or how tempted to do so. The Prisons and Jails are full of guys looking for so calle "macho" men who want or just have to show how strong and masculine they think they are, to help them in their quest to get into trouble. Good luck and Happy Holidays

    I consider bi-phobia is it can be possess thing, no longer a flavor of homophobia, no longer a taste of sexism. We are mostly terrified of what we do not comprehend. Bi sexuality blurs the traces between straight and homosexual. If a girl are not able to tell which man is straight and which is homosexual, how can she find the correct man for herself? Condom use signifies "premeditation". Gay sex is fine should you simply cannot aid your self, however using a condom have to imply that the stumble upon was planned. And how can a man then use a condom with his woman? She would guess that he'd been with any one else. That would not do! I identification as a white, bisexual lady. I think the above. I would not have any scholarly articles to help what i feel.

    Men and women should respect each other and neither of them should abuse the other in any way. A woman assaulting a man is illegal. Men just don't like to admit their being abused.

    Nowhere it is said.

    U should not hit not to cause death viz., sides of face.

    Your hitting should not ooze blood from any parts of her body. Then it will be considered criminal violence.

    So, the better place is her buttocks.

    She gets the blow and no injury happens.

    Sometimes, as a lost resort, punishment is required for an uncontrolled or vicious behaviour.

    As it is said: "Dandam Dashgunam bhaveth".

    It bruises the knuckles.

    Edit: @W.C. It is a joke. One has to assume that anyone who asks a question this moronic is either trolling or trying to be funny. In neither case is a serious answer warranted, hence my poor attempt at humor. Oh, and I have been called many things in my life, both negative and positive, but never a twit.
