There's literally no way someone can think calm, rational thoughts while someone rushes toward them with a weapon. You don't have time to think of 'should I shove, punch, bite, etc', you only have instinct. That instinct is 'Oh shit, I have to do -anything- quickly before she-- Ahh!' *Slam* *Crack* That's how quick it happens. Social standards come second to staying alive.
As for the childish slap, it has no relevance to the question asked. Slapping isn't attacking. An attack is a harsh, relentless assault, not a pathetic temper tantrum.
IIN to hit a woman if she is attacking you?
