Maybe the Sanji not hitting women thing is an extreme expression of a stance against domestic violence on Oda's side.
And I agree that domestic violence against women is a definite no-go.
But a difference should be made when it comes to battle. Hitting a female enemy in a war is unrelated to a domestic situation.

In other words, not hitting a woman is an "idealistic" point of view, and it's a vision for an idealistic world with less violence as possible... HARD TO MAINTAIN in a world where violence is widespread like One Piece or ours.... even our real world and not fictional, it's hard to maintain... whoever pulls through his life sticking to his code, we should APPLAUD HIM, and not attack him...
The most important thing is Sanji knows it's something he will not do, the CREW knows Sanji very well now too and accept Sanji for who he is... and because of that, Nami and Robin were ready to take over the fight instead of him... they understand Sanji and respect his wishes... in fact, it's one of the FEW SCENES where Nami praised sanji, despite how she was ALWAYS negative with him...
And this time, it seems Robin is ALREADY with Blackmaria and Sanji, she knows fully well what she has to do and taking over this fight for Sanji's sake
