While I completely agree with this, I hope you realize how sexist it is. In a world of equality, it shouldn't bother you any more that it's a girl being hit than a guy. The girl hitting the guy first should be just as or more upsetting.
Why can't you just respect that someone who is double the size, double the strength, and a foot taller probably should show more restraint even if attacked? Doesn't matter what the sex is.

Males produce testosterone which makes them prone to more aggressive behavior. I don't think it's sexist to acknowledge that male on female violence is much more prevalent in our society than the reverse.

Actually it's not. There have been lots of studies that prove this out. It is much more common for a man not to report the abuse though. Physical abuse occurs at pretty much the same rate as in hetero relationships.
For people complaining about the size difference, I wonder if it upsets them the same when it's a big guy's knocking the shit out of a smaller guy on a Saturday night.
There was no justification for her to hit him first, nor for him to hit her in retaliation. Spousal violence is equally wrong regardless of the perpetraitor.

Okay, "more prevalent" probably isn't the best term, but seriously do you feel female on male violence is as big a social concern? If so, where are the thousands of "Abused Men Shelters" throughout US cities?

This thread reminds of the outrage over a 27 year old female teacher fucking her 14 year old male student is supposed to be as severe as a 27 year old male teacher fucking his 14 year old female student
Is it bad? Sure. is it as bad? Nah.

On a personal level I think the guy hitting the girl to be worse. But from a societal point of view, they're both the same to me. I want governments and the justice system to treat them identically.

I am in no way absolving the guy with the following opinion.
The more i think about this video (which I unfortunately have not been able to stop thinking about...), the more it is pretty obvious she baited him intentionally wanting to be hit. It's obvious the guy is an abusive dick head and has hit her plenty in the past. Although it's also clear the violence goes both ways. A fairly innocuous scene where he is helping the kid clean something up (and seems to be in fairly good spirits) and she comes in and says he has to leave? Then starts claiming items to inflame him further? And then she hits him after he kicks the TV? All with a camera mysteriously pointed at the TV? She wanted him to hit her at that moment.

Guy is still a tool though.
Do you think women who go out in short skirts are just asking to be raped?
