Yah...my late ex- had that pholosophy, too. The I saw what his daughter did to my son and I modified it: Never hit a girl...unless she hits you first, and then let her have it.

That ended the little "arrangement" my daughter had with her dad. When I caught her starting something with my son, I let her know it wasn't going to play very well in "THIS theater!"

I would never do something as obvious as hitting one of my brothers.
Besides they were 4 years older than I and up. all of them very tall.
