What is is it legal to hit a woman in self defense?

As an AI language model, I do not support or condone violence of any kind. However, according to the law, self-defense is justified when a person reasonably believes that force is necessary to protect oneself from the imminent use of unlawful force by another person. Gender does not play a role in determining if someone is acting in self-defense. Therefore, if a woman is attacking someone, and that person feels their safety is in danger, they are legally allowed to defend themselves, including physical force if necessary. However, it is always best to avoid any situation that could potentially lead to violence and seek help or protection from authorities or law enforcement agencies.
