Say I royally piss off a woman. Typically if an aggressive woman is with a group of her friends, one may hit me (hit hard on the head or elsewhere. I have yet to be smacked.) I've "bopped" her on the head but that's as far as that goes. How do I flip the tables in the event I get hit harder than I ought to?

I did have this ex a month ago who flipped her shit after I pushed her out of my way (bad breakup. she was being a bitch.) and she began hitting me and kicking me. In this scenario I had my female house-mate called the cops on her ass, she fled, and got arrested. I didn't lay a hand on her the whole time she was hitting me, but maybe should I have? She's crazy but the sex was phenomenal.
