Re: How a man is supposed to deal with a female adversary
Legally you’re allowed to use proportionate force if your well-being is endangered and she is an active threat to you or people around you, however if she hits you once and backs off then you don’t have any legal protections to let you go all Jackie Chan on her. If she hits you then you should report her to the police and she’ll be charged with assault or battery. Hitting her would get you in trouble.
