I hear it.
I have also been part of more altercations with all kinds of outcomes than one person should be in one lifetime. Many, many times, the woman doesn't get the opportunity to have a glass door separating them. Yes. The opportunity. Perspective.
When they are physically separated, at what point do her actions stop being his responsibility, and once again become her own free will?
That is where a definition is almost impossible to create that can satisfy a law that can be applied fairly in a civil society. What works in one extreme, is not going to work in the other.
If you honk at a car, and that car crashes are you responsible for scaring the driver? If you scream fire in a building with no fire, are you responsible for the stampede? If you scream fire in a building, but only in one room, are you responsible for the deaths of those unaware that you could have maybe saved if you thought your actions fully through, but didn't. If you push a person to suicide, are you responsible? What if what you said was innocuous, and was wrongly interpreted as a hurtful comment?
