I don't think men should ever hit women, and I think that the women shouldn't hit the men either. The female valets/wrestlers can interfere and wind up the male wrestlers without hitting them - it's just lazy writing to always resort to slaps.
As for Stephanie, she's the boss. She's the owner's daughter. Her abuse of power should keep the male and female wrestlers in line, she doesn't need to show any physical dominance over them. Again, it's just lazy. Her hitting anyone should be that last instance that leads to a female valet/wrestler getting one up on her.

I'm just tired of the woman's special slap finisher making a comeback. Most of the girls use submission moves as finishers, lock a dude up in the armbar or leglock. I'd pop for Charlotte or Sasha or Bayley hitting the Natural Selection, Banks Statement, or Bayley to Belly on a guy running them down. But it'll never happen cause we can't make the muscleheads look weak by getting beaten up by a girl. But the models and stick figures they had back in the day took Stunners, Rock Bottoms, Pedigrees, RKOs, etc. The women are legit wrestlers now, plus it could be a small nod to Chyna in that she broke the barrier to compete with men. I bet Jericho especially wouldn't mind jobbing to a woman again since the Jericho and Chyna feud is pretty well remembered by us older members here. Bayley has used the Bayley to Belly on Bobby Roode and to Blake Murphy.

I think there's a consensus in everyone's comments here: the female-to-male slap should be banned. It's cheap heel heat but if we're doing equal booking here (in terms of face vs heel and men/women) a female heel will always come out the winner. Unfair in kayfabe and predictable lazy booking as well.
I did enjoy Renee Young's slap on Miz however, as it was after Miz made a crass comment, and you could tell by Miz's smirk (and on Talking Smack when Daniel Bryan fined Renee) that he 'broke' Renee and thus the slap was a win for Miz more than it was for Young. Basically anti-lazy booking.

30 years ago Ultimate Warrior was press slamming and walking all over that dastardly Queen Sherri, and everyone loved it. This is where I'm at with it. I don't care if some woman gets pretend beat up. Hell, heels used to drag their powerless female valets around like Harambe and not once did I ever think "I should treat women just like the make believe man." It's not wrestling's job to raise your children. No one worthwhile would pattern their life after these ridiculous people. It's supposed to be an escape.

People have been citing Ambrose being the face, and size differences to justify the man not ever hitting the woman. Only:
1) it doesn't just happen with a female heel and a male face. it's happened multiple times in opposite dynamics, INCLUDING in this very feud 2) what if it was someone like Nia Jax hitting someone like James Ellsworth?

That second one could actually be a very fun moment. It shows it is not simply about genders. Maryse is frail and small. Jax is massive and strong.
