If a woman slapped you across the face, would you slap her back?

Nobody should lay hands on anybody regardless of gender. Anyone who plays the physical violence card should expect to be met with the same and think themselves lucky if they get away with it. I see women bragging about beating their significant others all the time and it makes me sick that they assume they can hide behind outdated gender norms while playing the equality card at the same time.

My parents taught me that If a woman wants to be treated like a lady she conducts herself like a lady. If a woman goes round hitting people she is conducting herself like a thug and deserves all the trappings that go with the life of a thug including the physical retaliation.
