Otherwise, I stongly believe that violence against another person, regardless of the sex of the perpetrator and the victim, should be equally and vigorously prosecuted under law...I think this will make a strong point that it is totally unacceptable in our society and if you do it you will be penalized.

My thoughts exactly. New laws aren't needed to protect women. There are laws on the books that say violence against anyone is actionable, and punishable. Enforce them. A crime is already being committed, what's to be earned by making it worse to strike a woman, would man on man violence be more acceptable, less punishable?
The main problem with domestic abuse, is that the abused don't report it, or don't stick to their guns and have the turd locked up. Apparently some cops also don't want to mess with it, but new laws won't change that either.
Yeah, I'm against Hate Crime laws too.
And only an ass would say someone deserved to be victimised.
