I don't think there is anything particularly wrong in hitting a woman, though I don't recommend you do it the same way that you hit a man.
- Sean Connery

That can be taken several ways, and some of them are not so good.

The only context in which I think it's at all acceptable is one of self-defense. In that context I have no problem with anyone doing what is necessary to defend themselves. Given that, statistically speaking, a man defending himself against (unarmed) assault by a woman is likely to have a physical advantage anyway, so a different response might be more appropriate than what would be necessary against an attacker of similar or greater size and strength.

But, considering that much of the violence directed at women has nothing to do with actual physical self defense, but with intimidation, coercion, and control, it's a hugely unfortunate statement for any man to make.

I will say though that one of the things I sort of liked about the Bond films was the way female villains were usually treated about the same as the male ones (aside from Bond bedding them if he had the chance). Were the movies sexist? Lord, yes. But if a woman turned out to be a villain and posed a viable threat, seemed like he'd take her out with the same lack of compunction as he would a man. Or maybe I'm just remembering it that way.

I guess you are not too kinky. There are "other" consensual contexts where this works out well.

Consensually? Yeah, that's a whole other ballgame.
