I think the thing that causes so much debate over this type of issue is that violence (like it or not) is a significant feature in many movies and television today. Some people would argue that most depictions of violence are promoting violence, and along those lines, depictions of violence against women promotes violence against women. There's no clear line for people to say "that's okay / that's not", so it's very subjective. The only way you can guarantee that someone isn't going to be offended by depictions of violence against women is to remove all women from any sort of action role. I don't think that's the best way to handle this problem, but I think it is the only way it would be fixed for good.
