No, because I probably would not feel genuinely threatened. I've been hit by men before and did not hit back, I probably wouldn't hit a woman.
I am the size of a small bear, if I try to defend myself or retaliate, the person is probably getting seriously hurt. That's just not worth it for me. For what? Pride? Sense of entitlement to self-defense? Nah. Plus I am old-fashioned, I guess, raised by pre-baby boomer parents.
Also, during my youth, I've found that no matter the circumstances, it's always the big guy's fault. So if I am standing in court with a broken nose from a woman, and this little 110 pound woman has a black eye from me, I think they'd side with her. I don't really get in fights but in the past , if their hit didn't hurt, I just asked them to apologize. They always do :D
Of course if she was part of a gang of people attacking me, had a weapon, or I felt my life was legitimately in danger, yeah I'd hit a woman. Otherwise no.
