peace to all!
the verse (38.:44) is (38: 45) in site which i use (if first verse is also counted) and see what it actaully is:
[38:42] And remember Our servant Job, when he cried unto his Lord; 'Satan has afflicted me with toil and torment.'
[38:43] We directed him: 'Urge thy riding beast with thy foot and depart swiftly. Yonder is cool water to wash with, and a drink.'
[38:44] And We bestowed on him, his family and as many more with them, by way of mercy from US, and as a reminder for men of understanding.
[38:45] And We commanded him: 'Take in thy hand a handful of dry twigs and strike therewith, and incline not towards falsehood.' Indeed, We found him steadfast. An excellent servant was he. Surely, he was constantly turning to God.

holy prophet Job who was riding an animal is commanded to travel fast with stick in hand to make animal move faster.
And you, respected friend, pasted it on women!
Sure some muslims are not parcticing religion well. That is why reformers appear. Just as holy Jesus came to reform jews, Ahamdiyya reformer has come. But please do not go sofar in your angers to turn a beast into a women.

Paradise is under mother's foot - a parable told by blessed holy prophet.
One who is best in behaviour with family is best also told by holy prophet.
[16:73] And Allah has made for you mates from among yourselves, and has made for you, from your mates, sons and grandsons, and has provided you with good things. Will they then believe in that which perishes and deny the favour of Allah?
[4:33] And covet not that whereby Allah has made some of you excel others. Men shall have a share of that which they have earned, and women a share of that which they have earned. And ask Allah of His bounty. Surely, Allah has perfect knowledge of all things.
[4:34] And to everyone We have appointed heirs to what the parents and the relations leave, and also those with whom your oaths have ratified a contract. So give them their portion. Surely, Allah watches over all things.
[4:35] Men are guardians over women because Allah has made some of them excel others, and because men spend on them of their wealth. So virtuous women are obedient, and guard the secrets with Allah's protection. And as for those on whose part you fear disobedience, admonish them and keep away from them in their beds and chastise them. Then if they obey you, seek not a way against them. Surely, Allah is High and Great.
==> SUPPOSE IF THIS IS THAT SORT OF BEATING AS YOU THINK, THEN THIS NEXT (4:36) VERSE FINDS NO ROOM. THESE ARE VERY REMOTELY CHANCED THINGS JUST AS PERMISSION OF HAVING FOUR WIVES. PLEASE FIND SOME MUSLIM FAMILIES IN YOUR AREA AND SEE WHAT ARE PRACTICAL SITUATIONS.
[4:36] And if you fear a breach between them, then appoint an arbiter from his folk and an arbiter from her folk. If they (the arbiters) desire reconciliation, Allah will effect it between them. Surely, Allah is All-Knowing, All-Aware.
[4:37] And worship Allah and associate naught with Him, and show kindness to parents, and to kindred, and orphans, and the needy, and to the neighbour who is a kinsman, and the neighbour who is a stranger, and the companion by your side, and the wayfarer, and those whom your right hands possess. Surely, Allah loves not the arrogant and the boastful.

Quran is first book which gave rights to women. Do you like the situation in some modern nations where women are abused as girl friends since wife has rights and gf has no rights.
How about abuse of women in media with lesser and lesser dresses just to make movies or to sell some chewing gums stuff. What about bars where a portion of humanity is used to provide enjoyments for men.
In some places lady secreteries in office are silently abused. On football night women abuse is not a forgotten saga. Walk on russian streets you will find women in distress.
In unjust socities people tend to suppress weak. Before Islam, women folk was treated as a commodity. There were no shame whatsoever, no limit of having women. Daughter was burried as soon as she was born. Today incest is not hidden. After world war why prostituion started in germany? and in other places. These are all very very pain ful remindings.
Men ans women are equal in eyes of God. But man's physical muscles are stronger; to run a system a center is needed. Husband and wife are hearty friends (each others dress- Quran)
Emotions in both genders are like two electric wires with positive and negative currents. To have useful results they need to run separate and meet togather in special arrangement (family and marriage) . If they keep meeting without arrangements that is like frequent short circuits (showing off, dating, mating and no family) . Such free availability since early age leads to loss of interest in each other among two genders and homo- phenomemon starts....God made Adam and Eve; not Adam and Steve.
Lets come back to God!
