> The idea that one person saying "this hurts me please stop" is logically or morally equal to the person doing the harm
You are saying that a person saying "this hurts me" means that they are actually being harmed. I don't agree.
People frequently lie, usually with a motive.
And if you think words can cause harm, than perhaps you can see that the words "this hurts me" can be used to get what you want, your motive, and that can cause harm.
