As far as defending yourself against a woman attacking you goes: unless a) she is really heavy and muscular, b) out of her head on PCP or something, or c) has a weapon, most men (and I would probably include my own skinny self in that number) should be able to restrain a woman, hold her back and defend themselves without having to punch, kick or even slap her. Obviously, that's not always the case and there will be occasions where you have to treat an attack like that as if it were coming from a man, but as Batty says, that's really a different situation. We're talking - so far as I can see, anyway - here about domestic violence/abuse, about beating up a defenceless woman for little or nothing, and there can't really ever be an excuse for that. If a woman comes at you with a gun, you can't I guess say "well I can't hit her with a chair/baseball bat/insert weapon here", but that's defence not attack and certainly not abuse.
