I've compared Akane to a spouse beater in the past, usually when someone else
selectively treats only some characters seriously in order to call them insane
or violent or whatever. 

Isn't that **exactly** what Zen did in this story?

Akane is not the *only* woman in Ranma's life who does slapstick
violence to him.

Yeah, but she's the most frequent offender and  the one Ranma is most
likely to submit to a beating from.

"But I wonder whether people who ask God to interfere openly and directly
in our world quite realise what it will be like when He does.  When that
happens, it's the end of the world....For this time, it will be God
without disguise;  something so overwhelming that it will strike either
irresistible love or irresistible horror into every creature.  It will be
too late then to choose your side...That won't be the time for choosing;
it will be the time when we discover which side we have really chosen,
whether we realized it before or not.  NOW is the our chance to choose the
right side.  God is holding back to give us that chance.  IT won't last
forever.  We must take it or leave it."
