So far, you're getting the gist of this trope.

I was also going to make it about the flip side of abuse being okay if it's to get someone to comply with you (such as how Lois pins Peter down and slams his face against the floor in order to get him to agree to come see Meg's school play, earlier in the same episode containing your Family Guy example), or when they outright attack someone (such as when a girl {{Megaton Punch}}es a guy for stuff like walking in on her when she's naked or for hitting up on other girls they're already boyfriend-and-girlfriend).  Some would argue that that would be its own trope altogether, but all examples I've seen of those variations have been female-on-male, and I'm trying to see whether any male-on-female examples exist whatsoever.

EDIT: And, before anyone asks, [[TheMelancholyOfHaruhiSuzumiya Kyon calling out Haruhi]] for her {{Jerkass}} behavior doesn't count as this, since she still remains too stuck-up not to argue with him.  Psi001, I've never watched TaleSpin regularly, so I'm not sure whether Rebecca was still argumentative or not; the FamilyGuy example still counts, though, since Lois did realize what was happening as a result of her behavior, and her coming out to him with it was what cued him to pull down the "PETER'S RIGHT!" banner.
