I'm not saying this to sound all tough. I'm saying this, because the notion of "never to hit a lady" comes from the stereotype that women are weak and defenseless, which isn't really true. A woman can kick a man's ass just as surely as he can kick her's. It depends on, if it's just a generic fight how she approaches her opponent.
I don't know about some feminists, but I want to be treated equally. In the words of Ani Difranco, "I ain't no damsel in distress."

Being treated equally should start with men not holding physicall prowess over women. I could punch out my wife everytime we disagree, but I don't because we are equal. That doesn't mean she's a damsel in distress. I find your argument more hurtful to women than helpful.
