What do you think about a girl who punches a guy in the face?
Even if the guy is a grade A bastard and super annoying, I think he doesn't deserve to get punched in the face by anyone but presume she was just pissed off.

Assuming its the first use of force between them, I think its a bad idea. A good indicator of a civilized culture is a strong prohibition of men using greater size and strength to brutalize women. I think if women start hitting men, such a prohibition might start breaking down. Obviously some men are okay with hitting women but, in truth, most arent. Personally, Id hate to see the culture accept such violence against women.

@Sharon No, I thought I made it clear that women hitting men constitutes an assault on the civilized rules of conduct for both sexes. I taught martial arts for fifteen years, I'm a third dan black belt. I had many skilled, hard working female students. Its very politically incorrect to say but most women would do poorly in a physical fight against a man unless their size and condition were very much in favor of the woman.
The first premise of libertarianism is this, "Initiate no force against another". I think thats a good rule for all of us but its important to note that the most significant word in that premise is "initiate"; be ready to hit back if necessary.
