I know plenty of girls who can fight also, especially being in the military, there are some girls that will actually beat you within an inch of your life, with you fighting back.
I don't know if I'd call it sexist, I'd go farther in saying they're the softer, sweeter side(there are always exceptions!) to humanity. They're give birth to children, without women, there is no Natural birth. I don't think it's right for men to beat their wives or anything like that. I do, however, deem it necessary that if a girl has the guts to punch a man, they should have the guts to take the consequences of it also.
I believe it to be the same thing as women being in the military out on the front lines. I don't treat them any different, but I do put more caution on things because women can be raped. Sure, men can be raped as well, but I don't remember the last time I saw a band of homosexual terrorists parading around, remember, most believe in Islam, homosexuality is a sin. Either way, if women want to be on the front lines, I won't stop them, but I don't want them raped either.
It's all a politically correct line. Some instances would suggest yes, others suggest no. Fair judgement is always key.
