You're comparing what he did to what she did. I'm not. That's the difference. I see her slap him and then elbow him in the chest/neck area. Fuck what Ray Rice did for just a second. He was an asshole, he crossed the line and what he did was incredibly wrong. We aren't in disagreement about that. Once you say "people shouldn't hit", that should pretty much be the end of it. Male on female domestic violence existing, regardless of how much more likely it is to cause serious damage, does not mean female on male domestic violence is no big deal. What she did... slapping him and then elbowing him in the chest DOES constitute "literal domestic violence". It's violence. "Don't fucking hit another human being. Your gender doesn't give you any special privileges to be violent." That's it. That's the point. And it needs to be made clear without people being shamed into not saying it for fear of being a victim blamer.
