Not sure what I am missing out on here. Being the skinny runt that I am, almost half my girlfriends have been within five pounds of my weight. I never felt any inclination towards striking them, even the two of them who displayed violence towards me. Being close to someone can occasionally involve serious emotional meltdowns by either party, no question. But the thought or vision of me striking them, even if they hit me repeatedly, just isn't in the genes here. Just can't do it. I take the Hill or DYB approach. In instance of the first GF I had that tried to hit me, I held her wrists. She said "let me go!," so I did. When the next fist was two inches from my face, I grabbed her wrists again. It all worked out, we laughed about it later, etc. With the other GF, I went more towards the DYB solution, somewhat. I turned around and she punched me really hard in the back a few times before I turned around and stopped her, but I knew better than to laugh at her. Again, we got over it. I was glad to be rid of the both of them, eventually, but there was far more to be rid of than the occasional hitting. The usual train wreck stuff. The folly of youth, etc. I don't quite understand the attempt at equating of issues here. It can't be done. Men and women are different in far more ways than mere physique.
