Erm, depends why they hit me...
Not that i've even really been in a proper fist fight but If for example, I found myself in a bar fight with a bloke and a random unnassociated woman walks over and punches me in the face "just because", I think i'd punch her back.
If I was already in a heated argument with a woman who started to get violent then no. But if they showed no signs of calming down despite my not hitting them, i'd consider a swift slap around the face.
Anyone who thinks they can be violent to someone because they think they are immune to the consequences deserves to get it handed back to them whether they be male or female.
Besides, just because a woman is *statisically* weaker than a man, doesn't mean they are all made of glass. I think as long as you are being moderate in your response, you aren't doing anything morally or ethically wrong... Sexism shouldn't really come in to it.
