If you have a pen, you can cross out the parts of the golden rule that are pacifistic and make it "Treat others as they treat you". When someone slaps me I'm not going to turn the other cheek because they'll slap that one too and think they can freely slap others. The goal is just to restore an equilibrium state where nobody slaps anyone else because they understand that they aren't powerful and there will be immediate consequences.
