I never hit a woman. Unless, y'know, that's what they're into.
More seriously, I think KJ makes an excellent point. As a senior student, you HAVE to take responsibility for the newer students having a good experience learning and not pushing their limits beyond what they're ready for. Women are generally less used to the idea that playing rough can be fun and valuable and rewarding in and of itself, and it will almost always be a longer time and tougher sell to get them to hardish or genuinely hard sparring. I mean, I LIKE getting bruised and sore from a class, even a taiji class. But not everyone is built the same.
All my fight strategy is based on deliberately injuring my opponents. -

"It is the same in all wars; the soldiers do the fighting, the journalists do the shouting, and no true patriot ever get near a front-line trench, except on the briefest of propoganda visits...Perhaps when the next great war comes we may see that sight unprecendented in all history, a jingo with a bullet-hole in him."
