You can be equal and different.
I am sure there are women out there who are stronger than me, who know martial arts that I don't, and who could kick the shit out of me if they wanted to. I was brought up that boys dont hit girls, and men dont hit women. I've never been punched by a women, but I have been slapped, and it never entered my head to hit her back.
Men and women are entitled to equal rights, equal pay, equal rights to access to children, and opportunity, and education, and God, and everything else... but that doesnt mean that men and women are the same. If the woman in the case of this thread hit the dude, clearly she was out of control and probably should have been asked to leave the club, but there are certain standards and certain things that I and many people hold to be moral and hold above the "its a free for all and anyone can get what I give them" attitude.
And I would add, merely as guidance... that if I saw a dude punch a girl in a club, or any situation - without me having ANY idea of the context or who started it there is a high chance I would intervene with as much force as I could muster. And Im not trying to get into a whole macho bullshit thing about it... Im sure all y'all are better fighters than me and would kick my ass or whatever, but I would say if you go around hitting girls, there is a very high probability someone will put you on your arse or a lot worse... and, up to a point, I dont see it as a bad thing.
