well first off if you hit a man 160 lbs and you weigh 200 yeah to me that's a little much, i'm 190 ish and 150lb guy talking shyt to me amounts to a small dog barking, catching feelings on something like that is silly IMHO. Now if my life were on the line someones getting laid out, 150lb men tend not to confront bigger people though.
Second 150lb girl <> 150lb guy. Would you think yourself a man if you beat the ass of 115 lb man? That's what a rough conversion is on that maybe 120lb still, that's a highschool freshman at best.
Third, i hold the door open for anyone I happen to be in front of it's called manners. Do run into building and close the door or do you hold it open. Same thing, common courtesy. With a woman I do it because they are physically weaker than I am...but i'd also do it for the 120lb guy to simply because it's what I do. I've always looked out for the little guy though so maybe that's just me.
and this is still another problem with your reasoning, which is why i KNOW this is based on gender stereotypes. you're putting the idea of questioning my manhood simply because i fight someone. my manhood has nothing to do with prevailing stereotypes and assumed societal functions. it has everything to do with the fact that i was born with a dikk and all my other physical functions that are typical of any male.
bottom line, if they're an adult and they hit you, you have every right to defend yourself with the same level of hostility. how you choose to do it is a different matter entirely and dictates where your head is. but if the person who can clearly see that they're outmatched yet they assert physical force doesn't have enough reasoning to figure out that doing that is a bad idea, you're not responsible for their lack. i'm not promoting going all out on a person, but to pretend you can't punch them is stupid.
and your third reason, you're flip flopping between common social manners designed for everyone and chivalry, which is designed for male interactions with females. your two posts are conflicting. which can only mean, in my opinion, that you're moving away from your original idea that equality and chivalry can co-exist...
