That being said, this “do not hit a girl” thing has always annoyed me. There are biological difference between genders, but if someone deserves to be punched, they deserve to be punched.
Given the difficulty of determining whether someone’s pregnant, and the large possibility of violence causing a miscarriage, and the long time it takes for a successful pregnancy, it seems like a pretty good heuristic. Almost as good as “do not hit anyone”.
