Under no circumstances will I ever hit a woman. Ever. I do everything I can to always stick to my moral code, and this is one of my beliefs. I've had the crap beaten out of me many, many times. I've been hit with baseball bats, brass knuckles, police batans, and a number of other blunt weapons. I've been cut with knives, and even had a bullit graze my right shoulder. I'm not afraid of standing there doing nothing while someone pulverizes me. If a woman who is an excelent fighter wants to beat me senseless, she can be my guest. Then my wife will go over and pull out her still-beating heart. Unless my life is in danger, it's not worth it. In the unlikely situation when my life is in danger, I know how to knock someone out without hurting them (or leaving any marks) whether they know how to fight or not.
If I see a man hit a woman, I will get involved. While I am very peaceful by nature, I also know that some people cannot defend themselves and reqire assistance. When defending, I apply the necessary force but no more.
That's my philosophy. The average man can defend himself from the average woman without striking her. If the situation is not average, as it has been said before in this thread, it must be judged on it's specifics. Small guy vs. giantess could be quite a battle. I might simply stand between them. An odd yet effective way to end a fight is to pass gas (a trick I unfortunatally picked up from science camp in 6th grade). I know it's terrribly crude, but it can often access the childish sense of humor that exists inside of us all.
