Editorial at the time did backpedal on that, and I think the writer may not have meant the blow to be drawn in quite so dynamic a style. However, at the Avengers' meeting to discipline Hank for his arrogance in battle, Janet does later take off her sunglasses to show that he gave her bruises. I'm more willing to accept a Hank who hit Janet when in the midst of a breakdown, than a Janet who made out that an accidental blow was serious abuse. There's no way the latter is anything other than misogynistic.
