Someone please explain to me the double standard between a man hitting a woman
and a woman hitting a man?

I personally don't believe there is one.
Although, generally, men are capable of hitting harder and for longer. In my experience, both sexes can be quick to throw a punch, but men tend to not stop as easily once they start. This is just my personal experience, which I'm sad to say is rather extensive.
My ex broke my jaw into 5 separate pieces and partially detached the retina in my right eye in one single attack that went on some time.
While not unknown, it seems to happen less the other way.

Very sorry about what your ex did to you must have been horrifying,
but in the current new wave of feminists fighting against supposed misogyny there is a hell of a lot of hypocrisy, bias and outright ignoring of plain statistics, this includes violence against men by women which something like 30% of men report whereas the number for women is way higher. Obviously men can have the capacity to hit harder, but women do too it's not unheard of, if you hit a man you can't just go "I'm a woman and possibly weaker therefore you can't hit me back", and again it works both ways, I just feel there's a crop of double standards popping up in these neo feminist arguements that really need to be quashed.
oh god nearly 6 years here and this is my first rant on b3ta.
