Psychologically speaking, it is a defense mechanism for our self preservation of our ego. For men, it is more of who is more dominant ie a body builder who can lift massive amounts of weights verses a business man that is slim in stature. The body builder will call the slim man a weakling but the business man may be rich and hold the mortgage to the body builders house and also has secured loans for him. If the body builder pisses the business man off by hurting his feelings the business man will call in all debts and foreclose on the mortgage and sit back and laugh. The strongest vs the fittest vs the one with the most ego.
Women do it mostly to be part of a social group or for confirmation of their beauty and self worth ego. I have watched women degrade another woman just on the way she looked (ugly or beautiful) and then walk with their heads held a little higher feeling justified. It is all ego - nothing more and nothing less. War is started not just out of the groups idea of a just cause but out of their need of self ego as a social group. They take pride in justifying their prowess or intellect and see it as a way to be "better" as a people.
As abuse situations go, a lot of men that do cause mental or physical abuse on a woman may need to feel some superiority and bullying someone makes them feel somehow in control. The stronger sex vs the weaker. But if you notice that most abusers (women or men) are not that way to their mistresses or coworkers. And if another person confronts them outside of the "home" world they usually cowtow to them.
It is usually all ego that causes people to want to hurt eachother. The "me first" generation has produced more confrontation than in the past and gives a person the sense of superiority over the other. In my opinion, it seems that we are regressing back to our primal state but with the intelligence of today and becoming more suffisticated globally and depending on technology too much now a days has cut us off on how to communicate civily and control our retributions towards others.
This was a very good question.

Depends on who I'm hurting, if it's someone who is just ****, **** personality, have nothing going for themselves, going to end up in a gutter etc etc, then I do it because they deserve it. If it's someone I love, then I don't enjoy it and steer clear from hurting them.
