Question about women's rights and equality?

do you think it's a double standard when women want to be treated fairly and want to say that they are just as strong as men, but why does the law treat domestic abuse so harshly. if a women gets hit it's all over the news but if a man is hit it's like "oh well". and this whole thing about not hitting girls. if girls are just as strong as men then whey can't we hit you all. i am not saying that i want to hit a girl i'm just saying that it's a bit of a double standard. agree or disagree just make a good argument
