No-one, male or female should be hitting each-other, but if someone is hit they should have the right to retaliate and defend themselves.
As mentioned above...
I don't disagree that women should be immune from retaliation if they hit someone.
I agree, women can't demand equality and then play the 'weaker sex' card.
If you want equality you need to accept everything (the good and the bad). You can't pick and choose which bits of equality you like and discard the rest.

A wise post as ever, Saiwong.
Feminism used to be about attaining equal rights and opportunities; it was also about harmony between the sexes.
Too many people nowadays want a 'have your cake and eat it' approach to equality:
Demanding gender equality - in more pleasant industries such as the media.
Not demanding gender equality - in less pleasant industries like sewage work or rubbish clearance.
Funny that.
