The problem is that the playing fields aren't equal. I could be hit by a woman that size 25 times before any damage would be done. Ray Rice could be hit by a woman that size 250 times before any damage would be done. It would take 1-2 haymakers from Ray Rice to kill a woman like that. To me it is about damage.
I get what you are saying in essence, but it doesn't have practical application in this situation. Yes, people shouldn't hit. I agree. But the differences between her hitting him and him hitting her are profound. In one situation somebody could die, in the other not much damage is done at all. You are right in principal, but not in reality.
