If a man has no other choice, he should use only the necessary amount of physical force on a female aggressor to defuse such situation. While I don't advocate or encourage violence against women at all, at the same time, I won't feel sympathy for women who willingly put themselves in an unnecessary position of getting physically hurt by a man after trying to pick a fight. That, to me, is the equivalent of a human male picking a fight with a grizzly bear, not expecting to get his face mauled/destroyed after that.
What's your take on the old-fashioned belief that a man should never hit nor lay hands on a woman regardless of circumstances?
