So you would accept getting smacked without hitting back by a much stronger man if you knew he was mentally/emotionally unstable? Most men wouldn't.
Not hitting women but hitting weak men is based on us generalizing the sexes. Men are generalized as strong while women are generalized as weak. Because of this generalization, there's cultural conditioning to not hit women since they're weaker.It does not make sense to accept a slap from a woman solely by the fact that she's physically inferior, because if a small, weak guy slaps a big, strong guy, that weak guy gets slapped back.
Also, mentally superior men wouldn't feel bad about hitting retarded/emotionally stunted men.
You could argue there's more emotional sympathy for women since they're seen as gentler (in addition to weaker), but that's not related to inferiority.
They aren't mentally inferior.The reason we don't slap women, again, is the same why we would never slap a child-that child is not only physically, but also mentally inferior, and also emotionally unstable.
