Violence is only appropriate in self defense
I know women (and many men) can taunt and frustrate you so badly that you want to knock them out.
But civilized adults do not settle disagreements with fists. Whether it is a man or woman, verbal abuse does not require a physical response, no matter how tempting it would be.
Legally speaking, a woman's attack will be looked on differently than a man's. If she is unarmed, barring unusual circumstances ( ie. the 400 lb chick someone mentioned), the law expects men to exercise more restraint, considering the fact you are likely stronger than her, and capable of inflicting severe damage.
I consider this reasonable. If you need to beat up on weaker people in order to prove yourself, you have problems.
However, women who pull this crap should spend a few months in jail, regardless of the harm they cause.
Male compassion is not something that should be taken advantage of.
So if a chick is hitting or slapping you around, avoid her, or restrain her as someone said, using a wrestling or judo type technique. Nothing is more humiliating than being defeated by being unable to move. Make it clear (nonverbally) that any escalation will result in an even more forceful response.
Now if a woman has a weapon, the weapon more than equalizes things. A small, determined woman with a knife is more than a match for a 220 pound strongman. Both will probably get severely hurt. Do whatever is necessary to save your life.
