Yeah it's fine. The reason society says that men shouldn't hit women is because men are generally stronger than women, but that strength difference is only present from puberty onwards. So little boys and little girls fighting each other are pretty evenly matched.
Even when they are adults though, if it's in self-defence then I don't see why a man shouldn't be able to hit a woman. The woman is in the wrong for attacking him, the man shouldn't have to allow the woman to physically assault him because he apparently has the obligation to look out for her welfare, the welfare of his attacker. Obviously he should use suitable retaliation, a slap from the woman doesn't warrant a punch in return, but that's true regardless of sex.
Make sure to teach him when he's older then that society is ridiculous and sexist and that, despite this logic, he will get arrested for hitting a girl (even in self-defence) if he does it when he's an adult.
