If a woman hits a man is the man allowed to hit back?

I would like to know how the people who voted maybe came to the conclusion.

Isn't the right of self defense absolute and uninfringable, should there truly be any doubt that you are allowed to defend yourself with equal level of violence if violence is cast upon you?

Quick edit: Not saying its right or wrong to defend, saying you do have the right to defend as opposed to men who defend against women violence with violence should be cast out and destroyed by other men.
