it is never right for a man to strike or run roughshod over a woman. if a woman does it to a man outside of self defense, it is wrong as well. two wrongs don't make a right.
Even in self defense aginst a woman who would kill you? If that is your choice, fine, as long as you remember it is YOUR choice, not the "system".
I was brought up that way. But times have changed.
If a woman kicked me in the leg, or anywhere else, because of a T-shirt I was wearing, today I would hit her in the face, as hard as I could.
Women used to play by the rules, and now they don't.
