But they always beat up men in movies, TV shows and commercials. /sarc.
How about slaps to the face? That is generally accepted, even in ads. Two days ago, I was switching around the radio channels and came across sports radio (something I generally avoid). The male host said his wife told him to do something the prior day, he forgot and “when I got home, my wife gave me five fingers across the face.” Why do men deal with this? If he is trying to make a joke, how is that funny? That is a sign of submission. Would any woman say “Hey, my husband gave me five across the face?”
