A woman hitting a man is just as cowardly as a man hitting a woman.
If the man hits back, he'll be in the shit. If he presses charges, he's laughed at because he got beat up by a girl. So his only choice is to do fuck all.
What on earth are you on about, if he had cause to use self defence he could hit back same as in any other situation. There is no legal distinction between men and woman in this respect, but of course you are not allowed to batter the shit out of somebody for the sheer sake of it, and that is for both sexes. If he somebody tried to beat me up it would matter not which gender they were if I chose to shop them to the police. In fact I can think of an incident where a chav hit me in the side of the head, with her rings on (she didn't do any real harm, only very light bruising) but I perhaps should of reported her just to inconvenience the vile piece of scum.
There may be no legal distinction, but there's a huge social one. If a woman hit's a man, people find it funny. You hear comments like "man up" and "what a fucking wimp" Reverse the situation, and he's rightly vilified by all and sundry.
It's a no win situation for a bloke to be in.
