Plus, in doing such things as she did, the consequences could be much worse - the reactions from the other side can be unpredictable and she should be aware of that and behave like a civilized person, especially in a public environment.
I dislike people, no matter how old or what gender they are, and I'm glad when someone shows them the boundaries of their actions.

Okay well if that's how you honestly feel then alright. I just highly doubt there would be so many people in this thread laughing about how she got "clocked" if it were a dude. No one would care...
Women are obviously disadvantaged when it comes to physical altercations due to size and strength, so it's often not an even match (this video included). Not to mention the pattern of violence against women in our culture is extremely one sided, millions more women die at the hands of men due to physical violence than the other way around, so let's not pretend that these sorts of events exist in a vacuum.
Of course none of this gives women permission to go pick fights with guys, but people's responses and reactions should be much more cautionary and measured.
