Why do women want equality but still don't want men to hit back women?

I often hear over and over from feminist that we should strive for female equality but in the same breath are silent or against men hitting back women that attacked them first. In fact, most women often want to retain a firm stance of men should never hit back a woman under any circumstances.

When we look at domestic violence even, lesbians are the highest % race across all couples. So the belief that men are all violent monsters attacking women is false.
