Unjust punishment/Hitting woman

--Note: I might be posting in the wrong thread, but I chose this one because OTD would chew this up and spit it out. Trying to get serious answers. Today, I got in trouble for something I think, is wrong. In this thread are ->Strong opinions ->Comments that can be viewed as sexist (Im not, fyi.) ->A touchy subject overall. Please don't bother responding/reading this if you feel like talking trash to me, or if these things can anger you. Its simply to prevent a huge argument and flame war. Thank you.--
Don't hit woman.
Specifically, Men don't hit woman. I seriously am annoyed by this.
When a female hits me, and means it, I believe entirely I have the right to defend myself. And I will, without hesitation. If she isn't like, under 16 or something, its fair game.
I'll give you the situation. Today at school, a girl (who has a nasty reputation, by the way.) got angry at me. It was drama anger, and I won't go into the details but it basically was a overreaction to a miscommunication thing. After putting up with her ranting for 5 minutes, I gave up and told her to piss off, politely. She got angrier, and proceeded to yell some more, and shoved me.
I don't put up with anger-fueled actions. You can hit me in the back of the head with a baseball bat, but if it was accidental, or part of a prank- no big deal. Yea, that was a dick move, but no biggie.
Anyway. I wasn't going to stand for that. I caught her hand that was going to shove me again, and semi-calmly said "You're going to calm down, and talk to me in 10 minutes about this when you're feeling better. You're angry, and it's making you irrational. Deal?"
In response, she (tried) to spit in my face, but missed. I let go of her hand though, and then she sucker punched me in the balls. (qft, lol)
Pause for a moment. She just hit me in the nuts. Maybe I deserved it, but I wasn't in a moment of reflection. So after I recovered, and stopped crying, (Yea, it really hurt :[) I socked her in her solar plexus, knocked the wind out of her, and then strode off to the principals office to get her suspended.
Skip ahead 10 minutes, and now we're both sitting in her office. I have that ball ache you get from getting hit down under. Shes still mad.
What happens? I get 2 detentions, call home, saturday school, and I almost got a suspension but I got lucky.
She gets a mandatory tutorial.
Which brings me to the crux of the whole thing. She said "A guy can't hit a girl."
And, following that logic, she was 'cleared'. It doesn't help the principal is a woman, as well.
Seriously, I believe that was not fair. So I ask you all- was I wrong in what I did? I don't know if I can stick to my own rules, if this is what happens because of it. Does anyone know a better, realistic way of preventing this? I'm open to constructive criticism.
Stuff to know before anger-replying: -> She had a good reason to be mad. I won't go into it. -> This didn't have a crowd of witnesses. -> I'm humbled. -> I no longer have a saturday school, because my mother and father stuck up for me. -> I do not hate woman, or anything like that. -> Etc.
Thanks for your time.

I could pretend I wouldn't react the same way, but I probably would.
I guess she was standing pretty close to you, if you couldn't block her fist in time?

violence is never good. That being said it is incredibly annoying that it's socially more acceptable for her to hit you in the balls and socially... Completely unacceptable for you to hit her at all. You two should receive the same punishment.

You should have said that you only hit her because you loved her.

If this actually went down the way you have presented it then imo you acted correctly and with a lot of restraint to boot. Good luck.
