I think it's more about just being violent, than outright beating someone up. E.g. if you get into an argument with a member of the opposite sex, it's perfectly acceptable for the woman to hit the man in rage, whereas if the man does this, he is a monster.

I don't think a simple "hit me, and I hit back!" mentality is really the right way to go either. There is something wrong with knocking the living shoot out of someone maybe 20cm shorter, and 40kg lighter than you - you shouldn't have to, similar to how you wouldn't punch a kid in the nose for having a fit (although I'm sure someone would argue this is the right way to go about parenting ).

No one should just stand there and accept getting hit, though, and if you're in serious danger of getting owned, you should do your best to defend yourself, whoever the attacker is.
