CALIFORNIA PENAL CODE:

692. Lawful resistance to the commission of a public offense may be
made:
1. By the party about to be injured;
2. By other parties.

693. Resistance sufficient to prevent the offense may be made by
the party about to be injured:
1. To prevent an offense against his person, or his family, or
some member thereof.
2. To prevent an illegal attempt by force to take or injure
property in his lawful possession.

694. Any other person, in aid or defense of the person about to be
injured, may make resistance sufficient to prevent the offense.

and

189.5. (a) Upon a trial for murder, the commission of the homicide
by the defendant being proved, the burden of proving circumstances of
mitigation, or that justify or excuse it, devolves upon the
defendant, unless the proof on the part of the prosecution tends to
show that the crime committed only amounts to manslaughter, or that
the defendant was justifiable or excusable.
(b) Nothing in this section shall apply to or affect any
proceeding under Section 190.3 or 190.4.

Additionally, there are castle doctrine stand your ground laws in other states.

For international law, see the Geneva convention.

I think I'd feel kind of bad and weird fist fighting a girl. If a girl attacked me though, I don't think I'd hesitate to use pepper spray or a stun gun against them, if I had either of these things on me. I'd just feel too uncomfortable using direct, physical force against a girl.
