I was wondering about this for a while, and it's not like I approve of violence, but why guys don't punch women in the face more often in anime?

Yeah, yeah, yeah...

You shouldn't punch a woman because she's, well, woman, and by being that she is holy and untouchable being that is above any man in the world, etc...

Yeah, whatever...

My focus this time is on those bossy female characters that pull guys around, and they have to obey their every wish - just because.

Or if male character is irresposible, girl straightens him up, quite often with force - usually for comedy effect.

Now, I don't know if that is because Japanese guys in general have a fetish to be treated like slaves and garbage by women; but I kinda do believe in equality among all people, at least when it comes to genders, and I can't help but wonder why are things like punching women in the face, or at least bitchslapping, or even more at least than that - just saying something like: Look girl, I don't care if you're doing this for my own good, or if you're my childhood friend, or whatever, but if you wake me up once again for school, I'll burn you at the stake.
Now, get out of my sight.

...

Something like that, but according to the story, maybe more or less intensive, I guess...

Btw, I know about that famous punch from Steins;Gate, although, most of guys with some spine worth mentioning can only be found in hentai these days, usually when they punish naughty girl, but in regular anime...

I guess, countless girls aren't enough anymore, so now guys must be even more girls than girls.

Yeah, I really wanted to see Kyon punch Haruhi.

Remember, Japan is very into their gender roles so something like a guy hitting a girl would cause a shitstorm in the industry.

Because, well, it's just culturally less acceptable for a guy to punch a girl.
Men are generally thought of as the stronger sex, and that they should protect the weaker sex, women. Any acts of a man physically harming a woman is usually seen as simply unacceptable and brute-like. Most of the time when a male character does hit a woman, said male is some sort of villain or antagonist, and the action is preformed to establish how bad the bad guy really is.

I'm not saying that I agree with the above cultural views, though. I do think that a lady should be hit for the same things a guy should be hit for and vice versa. Ideally, no one should be hit at all, but if you're going to do it, do it equally.

Comparing MtF violence in action or "serious drama" scenes to FtM violence in comedy scenes is kind of stupid.

I'd rather irrational and annoying bratty cunts be cut out from anime entirely. Not doubled. Anime could do with less shitty characters.

I would have paid good money to see Sayaka Watanabe (Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou) pancaked. But other than that, usually not. Maybe that white haired bitch from OreShura too. Oh and pretty much every female character in BakaTest.

All I can think of as of now.

I know what you mean. Society puts the pressure on men. Women can punch guys but when or if the guy punches her back, he is then seen as a bad guy.

I hate this. It is so double standard and hypocritical.

According to Sean Connery, a woman, when she gets out of line, needs a good slap every once in a while. Do so with the back of an open hand he said.

most of the people mentioned are either: good guy punching bad woman, accelerator being OP or villian being villian

as long as the anime industry is controlled by the cancer that is the unchanging otaku, we shall never get:

GOOD GUY GETS PUNCH/SLAPPED ETC.. BY GOOD GIRL FOR NO REASON MULTIPLE TIMES AND HE RETALIATES.
