I'd guess fresh thinks it more 'traditionally manly' to put up with 'girls hitting their boyfriends' since there may be no serious danger to the guys. This was the case in my situation - I'm about a foot taller than, and almost twice the weight of my wife. As I said earlier, there wasn't really any physical pain involved (other than the time she hit me in the face with a full bottle of shampoo....). The impact on my trust and emotions was decidedly present, however. As several others have now said, I also cannot accept abuse of a partner. Period.
