If a woman hits a man is the man allowed to hit back?

[ada]

For everyone participating and reading, do notice that not a single person has voted on 'yes'.(Was so when I posted this haha) So.. we are quite balanced on this regard. Whether a mind/body/spirit is incarnated into a male or female body does not mean they cannot do a violent or dangerous act upon another, a female can just as easily pick an object and with a single hit to the head cause serious damage if not death - I am exaggerating of course, but it is possible. We are here to learn in regard to the Law of One, we want to be the best servants, students and teachers that we can, but we are still human, not perfect. The original question was "are you allowed to hit back", allowed? Certainly, it is your free will. Should you? I don't know, we're all learning something a bit different. I think defending can be made out of love.
P.s. I don't mean like in those videos you see a woman slapping/punching a man until he loses it and hits back with full force knocking her out. If they aren't in danger, if they can walk away, or restraint without damage, then that is the best course of action. Hitting and knocking someone out and calling it equality is just mean imo.
