E.G.: I am 5'10" 230 pounds. My wife is 5'10" 145 pounds. Assume she has a little too much to drink and gets irritated at something I say. She follows me around the house punching me in the arm, and shoving me against the wall. I simply try to remove myself from the situation because if I am away from her, she cannot punch me, cannot shove me, cannot lay hands on me. Just because she is punching me doesn't warrant a return punch. I'll compare it to hitting someone with a plastic bat versus a wooden bat. There's just no sense in retaliating. Just do what it takes to control the person and get them to stop, and that's it.
I don't believe that women should take advantage of this double standard, however.

So if you teach your son not to strike a female, Would you teach your daughter not to strike a male?
