As for women wanting equality but not wanting to be hit, you need to think about the playing field. Men are, usually, considerably bigger and stronger than women. That is not to say a woman cant deliver a good hit but the chances are if a man then hits a woman in return, he is likely to do much more damage than she did. That is why it is not ok to hit women. It's just not good to wallop someone smaller than you.
Then it should be about big person walloping a smaller person and not about men hitting women because there are some women who are larger than men
As I said - I don't agree with "you can't hit a woman under any condition"
I question "reasonable force" for retaliation
Bottom line is - if the woman did not hit the man then there is no issue about retaliation with reasonable force
DON'T HIT!!! Women or men!!
Scenario 1
If a man hit a woman first - it's assault against the man. She's got to gauge whether to retaliate. He's already broken the law by hitting you so what are the chances he'll hit you more if you retaliate
Scenario 2
If a woman hit a man - it's assault against the woman. He's got to gauge whether he wants to retaliate. If he retaliate then there are some rules around that if he's bigger than her. But then again she might pull a gun on him
