Except it's a trope itself that when Strong Female Characters are abusive to men, the man isn't acting like a dickhead or doing anything wrong at all. Examples: Peggy shooting at Steve because some random woman kissed him before he could stop her; every time Astrid beat up Hiccup in HTTYD 1; every anime with a tsundere female love interest.

Also there's a pretty icky sexual component to it, especially if it's slapping. You never see male characters slap each-other over a disagreement unless it's a 'sissy slap fight' It's not male-coded strength through violence at all.

It's the same way as a character bending another adult character over their knee and spanking them is geeeenerally not seen as normal male violence, even if it's a 'violent' act.

and most of the discourse up above is because this picture doesn't meet the trope, it's a woman standing up for herself. Not a woman randomly grabbing a guy by the ear.
