Utter nonsense. This is just a deeply ingrained societal pressure to not hit women no matter the circumstance. The same people seem to have no issues hitting weaker men without compunction. There is nothing that makes women special, mate. If they deserve to be hit, they ought to be hit. Just like men, children, and animals. Kindly get off your high horse and re-examine the whole matter as objectively as you can. You might find something different in how you view this issue.
That's it. Next time I see a woman in mortal danger, I'll make sure to avoid helping out since I have no particular interest in getting booked for "Criminal Sexual Contact".
Agreed. I've personally been accused of going over the top (but that's just my style) with my rhetoric, but I like how you managed to write a very sensible and balanced comment.
