Equal rights ??? Or is this too much ??

I was going back and forth with someone about how if a girl hits a guy he shouldn’t have the right to hit her back. I think the opposite. In my opinion, if a girl puts her hands on a guy FIRST he has the right to hit her back. I was saying how women kick, scream, and fight to have equal rights but doesn’t count this as being equal 🤔 I play fight with my older brother & my cousins all the time and they hit me like they’re fighting a person in the streets. Now I’m not saying a man can just freely go around hitting & beating on women (women shouldn’t hit on men either) but if the women provoked him by hitting him first then she shouldn’t cry about it. Growing up my mom always told me if someone hits you hit them back but I think some people don’t understand that they can’t put their hands on people without thinking about the consequences 🤷🏾‍♀️
