Like you I'm naturally against violence, unless, in conditions where it is fair game, imo, from the way I've been raised, although I would never lay a hand on a woman, if a woman wants to act like a thug and throw punches like an animal, then they should really expect to be treated like a man would be treated for behaving like a thug, this man could have easily punched her in the face, but the slap he gave her (which was a mighty fine slap btw) was sufficient enough.

I don't buy into this mentality that women can do whatever they want to men, without consequences purely because they have a vagina, if you want to think you're tough by playing on a normal man's instinct and morals of not hitting females, then you lose the right to play the 'but I'm a woman!!!!' card.
