Again, absolutes like this solve nothing. According to society:

It's okay for women to hit each other.

It's okay for men to hit each other.

It's okay for women to hit men.

It sounds like society views men as replaceable cogs in a machine, but every woman has to be told a thousand times a day how gorgeous and special she is.

Putting the pussy on a pedestal has gotten us nowhere, vis-a-vis equal rights. It just shifts the problem.

Says you.

So what horrible repurcussions do you find in the never philosophy that you're so valiantly protecting society from?

Lord. It's the same reason (or one of them) that you don't hit kids. They're smaller/weaker than you, and less able to defend themselves. Would you kick a dog or cat that hadn't attacked you? You can't just say everyone's fair game. Men are much more capable of protecting themselves than women, and as women have only recently (like, in the last 100 years or so) become what you would call emancipated, or at least, seen as more than just pretty empty-headed objects, they don't have the history of defence and fighting that men do. So they're not as prepared for attack, they don't engage in it as much as men, and they're much more vulnerable as a result.

So how will it be okay for men to hit women and how will it benefit society?
