It's pretty simple...if you DON'T want to get hit...DON'T hit first...doesn't matter who you are.

But it is excuse to use someone as your buncing bag if you fight agains a male when there is a female.

I don't accep going physical but I don't accept resbonding by revengeful overpower either.

Exactly what I said in my post. A woman acts inappropriately and shoves you is not ok but to respond to that by knocking her teeth out is disgusting and deplorable.

I think everyone should be able to defend themselves. But when it comes to self defense against a woman, a man's response needs to be proportional due to a their overwhelming strength. For example if a woman slaps you and you turn around and knock her head off, the response is closer to retaliation than to self defense.

For starters, you should edit your OP and issue a warning on that video, as it contains very vulgar language and disturbing images.

Aside from that I find the video disturbing in several fronts, not the least of which is that women, influenced by Hollywood, think they can and should physically attack other people.
The number of female assault cases has exploded in the last couple decades, and I believe there is a direct cause and effect in what they watch on TV and in the movies. Most do not realize the GI Jane type movies are total fabrications. Another major contributing factor are unsupervised kids typically being raised by single mothers who are not taught how to be a lady, or the difference between a lady and a _________ (fill in your own pejorative)
Another disturbing aspect of that video is related to the way the guys acted, in many cases attacking the females in a revengeful way.
Another words they were not striking the woman as she was attacking, rather they had time to think about it and then went after them. In some instances it seemed as if others were shaming them for having been "beaten by a girl" so they decided to "prove their manhood".
In those situations, the guys would be headed to the hospital if any real men were standing around, because they would knock the teeth out of the punks who manhandled a woman.

Having been raised old school, like what was portrayed in the clips from the 1950's, I would not and have not ever harmed a girl/woman.
That said in answer to your question, hitting a woman in self defense (genuine self defense, not tit for tat) would presumably be permissible if no other resource were at the guys disposal. An example would be if a woman was attacking/harming your child, and the only way to thwart the attack was to physically engage her.
Since you started out the thread by saying you can handle yourself, then you know there are ways to stop an attacker in a defensive manner without inflicting serious injury to them. That is what I'd suggest until you could make an exit to get away from the woman who was out of control.

Sorry about not placing a warning. I can definitely see how such a video could be offensive. I can't edit the op to place a warning on it now. I personally have never been in such a situation where a woman has attacked me. This video showed up on my Facebook newsfeed and I was kind of surprised at some of the responses.

In the video, the girl that attacked the bus driver probably deserved whatever retaliation necessary because of the fact he was driving a bus. If I was a passenger, I might even jump in because everyone on the bus could be at risk.

"There is no honor in a street fight"

My unarmed combat "system" has been "trained" (ie, such as training the mind in repeated situations when people approach me on the street where I "ask" the mind, give me strike points, strike order) to maximize advantage and effectiveness.

NOW, one thing I should point out is that with me, we are talking about having the entire "combat suite". What is mentioned above is part of the offensive weapons system.........but there are other weapons systems as well such as blocks, evasion, distraction, retreat, and whatever else. Ie, say an elder relative starts saying unwise things about the current regime at the restaurant table. A defensive distraction as oppose to direct confrontation is to "by accident" tip over your wine glass.

The "suite" operates more by effectiveness than concepts of morals........though such may be considered in the evaluation phase.

Sounds just like Krav Maga that does

The problem is that there are many women who will get in a man's face, insult him, push him, slap him and goad him into giving her the slightest shove, and then she will immediately call the police as soon as he does. Once the police are involved the man is almost invariably blamed and punished, often facing several years of jail time.

Here's a good example:

Despite the fact that they followed him, physically attacked him, verbally harassed him, and goaded him on, the two women are pressing charges for assault against the man.
