Don't hit women...but don't let a woman whoop your butt. Self defense is necessary regardless of gender. If attacked by a woman swinging her hands, feet, or purse, simply block the blows and remove yourself from the situation. Avoid striking back with any offensive blows.
FLIP THE SCRIPT!
In the heat of a life-and-death situation, and in order to avoid being stabbed, it is perfectly okay for a man to toss a charging, knife-wielding woman down a flight of stairs. If a flight of stairs is not readily available, guiding her face-first into a brick wall at a rapid velocity is also acceptable.
MAN LAW!!!!!
