I understand your position if so.  Also a lot of us are old school.....we were raised differently.  My own father would jerk a knot in my head if I hit a woman.  I've been a victim of battery from a female with a rolling pin in my early 20s....one hit me with a Jim Beam bottle.  I restrained them long enough to remove myself from the situation.....and I'm only 6' 2" and 220 at the not....and no trained D1 athelete.  I can't condone his actions and never will.  I can forgive....but I....and others....wish he got his second chance elsewhere.

As a husband of 25 yrs, and the father of an 18 yo daughter, I cannot condone the girl's actions. I used to be of the school that you never hit a woman. But if women truly want equal rights, and are to be considered equals, then the sex of the person should not com into play in a confrontation (or in any other situation). 

That said, every situation is different as far as motives and background, but taken at face value, I now tell my daughter not to hit ANYBODY regardless of age or gender, and not expect to get hit back. If you are going to raise your hand to someone, then you better be damn sure you are able to defend yourself when they raise their hand to you in response.
