It's a shitty thing to hit someone, no matter their sex. If you hit me, I'll hit you back, no matter your sex.This isn't muddy at all.
I really don't think anyone but the almost non-existent neofeminist Tumblr-nazis believe it's okay to hit men.Feminism is about leveling the playing field for all, not elevating one team above another.
Defending yourself and fighting back are not the same thing.If some nut is throwing haymakers at you, you should have the right to restrain them. That doesn't make it justified to beat them up in return.

I'm probably not going to do much damage if I try to hit someone. A snug bear hug would restrain me pretty easily. >_>
I think you misconstrued my post.If I replace restrain with incapacitate, does that make more sense?
I'm not sure what these words even mean in the context of a fight. "Restrain" and "incapacitate" could literally mean anything. You can restrain someone by holding them down, and you can incapacitate someone by KOing them with a swift right hook.Either you're just trying to pussyfoot around our rights as individuals to defend ourselves, or you genuinely don't think we should have that right at all. Would love a clarification.
Restraining someone and showing some restraint aren't necessarily the same thing <.<If someone is going for you with wild abandon then regardless of their gender defending yourself is the right thing to do. It really doesn't matter what their chromosomes are if they are trying to maim you.But if someone slaps you then you don't exactly need to put them in hospital for it.
If anybody hits me I just activate my suicide vest. Problem solved.
