That’s good advice regardless of the gender of the person who hit you
If your goal is to encourage that person to go around attacking more people and make sure everyone knows you’re a safe target for bullying and exploitation them this is great advice.
When someone has shown a willingness to initiate violence, the only sane reaction is to give them a surfeit of it so they won’t do it again.
Maybe if you’re in a prison situation or something like that. I’ve never had to deal with somebody getting violent with me since I became an adult, and that’s because I live in a civilized environment. If somebody did get violent with me, the potential cost of retaliating would be greater than not retaliating. If I were put into a different environment where different rules applied, I would have to reassess that.

Ok, so you’re too privileged to have an opinion on this subject. You could have led with that and saved us all some time.
