Nobody should hit anyone. Bullies usually pick fights they think they'll win. My view's based upon the generalization that women are smaller & less muscular than men. Like all generalizations, there are exceptions. I think it's immoral to hit someone who is usually smaller, weaker and cannot defend themselves as a stronger person can. I was going to use an analogy of hitting a horse or a cat with a stick but that's a muddled comparison and in fact I think I'd better leave it there.
