There is this common misconception that anything a woman does in retaliation for an action is permissible. How many times does the media portray a woman slapping, punching, kicking someone because that person said something, or as in this case did something. The correct response is not to break someone's nose, and the woman got what she deserved for her overreaction. If she had simply accused him of the assault (technically, a battery, because there was touching) then this story would have had a different outcome.
