@Ibri Why? Because he was raised to not hit women? Man, your inferiority complex is about as shitty as this antagonist.
'This man refuses to hit me because I am a girl?! He must be looking down on me!'
Get over your fucking self. It has nothing to do with him thinking women are inferior, he very well knows there are women who could kick his ass, heck, he wants to date one. So it has nothing to do with a hate for women or him thinking them inferior. He just doesn't want to harm them, heck, he feels that way over most people, even guys, checking to make sure they are still alright after pummeling them.
