It's demeaning to women, period. It suggests slapping around women is so common that it's now a euphenism. It suggests that it's ok to slap around women. I don't like the saying and I don't use it. But, I'm not going to say what someone can and cannot say. Anyone with any respect for women would not use the phrase. If someone using the phrase has never thought about what it actually implies, personally I think they're clueless and need to consider whether or not they really are a liberal. True liberals are always sensitive to women and their sensitivities and their well-being.
