I don't believe the two sexes are equal. They should both be respected equally but anatomy wise, most males are more dominant than most females. That's why I have the old school view of men as the protector of women. I've been tempted to hit women and almost have but it'll go against my beliefs. A man can overpower his woman and scold her in other ways than straight up hitting; and the woman can hit him to set him straight, because she can't overpower him any other way. This is for very specific, intense situations obviously but it's in order to explain my point. There are rare cases because of genetics and what not, as always, hence the 'most.'
