As a teacher my rule was "Nobody hits."

Anyone hit someone else - they got severely punished.

As an adult - My brother (19 yr old) was punching my husband. I (the woman) intervened. My neighbor's boyfriend was beating her up. I did what I could. It doesn't matter to me who does what. Violence must needs be stopped with all the force necessary. As for ass kicking. I've never gone beyond the necessary steps to halt the violence until authorities arrived. That may partly because I'm not a big woman and taking things any farther then necessary is not wise on my part but it should be the MO for anyone.

Though it's deplorable the state of our justice system I don't think it wise to take justice into my own hands in most cases.

edit: And don't say I stopped my brother because I believed as a woman I wouldn't get hit. I have been hit on more than one occasion.
