Another notch on the belt for equality.  

 

Let me be clear.  I don't believe you should ever hit a woman, and I think this dude should get punished.  However, that doesn't make sense if you believe in true equality between sexes.  If you replace this lady with a man, this is a non-issue.  Almost no one would find him at fault for retaliation, or misappropriate her actions as self defense.  Everyone wants equality until it doesn't fit their world view.  

 

If I was this dude, I would say I'm transgender, so it's ok. (/sarcasm, but it wouldn't surprise me if that actually worked).
