Female on male violence isn't fine. But male on female violence is far worse (especially in this situation given size/strength/weight disparity) because of the amount of potential damage that could stem from it. It isn't alright but she isn't going to kill him by slapping him. You are looking at this from a standpoint of principal. I am looking at from a standpoint of reality/severity. There are levels of violence. The law recognizes levels of violence. This would likely fall under "excessive force." If my girlfriend gets angry at me and slaps me, that does not give me the right to beat her within an inch of her life. If my girlfriend slaps me, I have a sore face. If I punch my girlfriend with full force, she is going to the hospital.
Both not okay. But one is far more severe than the other. One might kill someone and the other one means a red cheek for 30 minutes.
