meh, I think there's a difference due to intent. When a girl slaps a guy, she's not trying to hurt him. She's trying to disrespect him. When a guy punches a girl, he's trying to hurt her.

So for all of you saying this is parallel to a small guy hitting a big guy...it's not. Because when a guy hits another guy, it's almost with intention to hurt.

Of course, if a girl is trying to injure a guy then I think it's fair game. But that's usually not the case, and I think it's an important distinction...obviously the girl may be out of line for using physical methods to disrespect a guy, but that doesn't mean she should be physically injured.
