It is because it is not newsworthy generally.

Women hit men all the time, but it is not considered an issue until a man hits a woman back. THEN all the shit hits the fans.

And it does not matter if it is a light hit (proportionate) or not. The very act of a man hitting a woman even in defense or as a reaction is so serious and I can only conclude that that itself is a vestige of a sexist attitude similar to "women and children first".
