		 Ask her why she feels it's not right for you to gently nudge her back.  Be tactful as you explain your views on how it's a double-standard.  Let her know that you don't like being punched in the arm, and that if she does it again, you will respond accordingly.  She will hopefully take the hint. 
 
I don't think that it's right that anyone punches anyone.  Poking, on the other hand, is fare game.
