I know for a fact everytime a woman has slapped me, I deserved it. I think there is a difference between slapping and abuse. Slapping is not meant to inflict physical damage to another person. It's not going to leave a mark and thus in many states, it would not qualify as domestic abuse. I think the "what if the sexes were reversed?" arguement does not apply. I believe in equality, but I recognize there are differences between the sexes. Men are stronger and have a higher potential to hurt a woman. Plus I practice a limited amount of chivalry and slapping a woman in almost every case is way over the line. Additionally, slapping can be a harmless playful sexy thing. If a woman does it right it can be extremely arousing.
