kadaghanan sa mga babae double standards, gusto sila "equal" at the same time gusto pud sila i treat as females (weak or someone who needs protection).
In my opinion its NOT ok to hit anybody without justified reason, may it be male or female.
So if there was a justified reason, then its ok? The question here is what exactly are the justifying circumstances for hitting a woman?
Well, I think that double standards thing is true, but often misinterpreted.
See, man and woman can never be called equal. They're just too different to be called equal. Women can never be as physically strong as men, no matter how much she works out. Gender equality does not aim to get rid of those kinds of differences. What's being talked about there are
rights. The right to equal pay for work, the right to pursue a masculine-ish career, the right to have the same quality of life that men do, and even the right not to be discriminated (Islam women).
People saying "you wanna be treated like men, then you shall be treated like men," are kind of generalizing it too much that they're missing the point. Women don't want to be like men, they just think they deserve the same rights that men have, free from discrimination. Very often it is practiced here that when women demand for such rights, men instantly treat them like
men, challenge them to a feat, then spit in their faces when they fail.
Most women don't
really want to be as strong, brave, or as powerful as men (although they try). They simply just don't want to be treated as weak, meek, or helpless.
If you get my point.

Kay bisan unsaon pa ninyo pagahi-gahi gud mga bayhana mo, kamo pa man gud gihapon ang mobuntis. So essence gikan ra sad ko ninyo. hehehe
You seemed pretty disturbed with what you saw....
Bullets fly faster than fists. Attempting to hit her in this situation would've been fatal. But in this case, human rights are about to be violated, so I guess self defense is understandable. Better practice those lightning-fast fists.
