I appreciate satire, but this song never sounded satirical to me (the more so when you consider some other, similar Stones lyrics). It definitely sounds gloating. Even if the girl had abused him first, the healthy response would be to repair the relationship to one of mutual respect (which is a feature of healthy M/s relationships too, btw), or else put her behind him. "Turning the tables" on abuse just perpetuates the pathology. Even if it were intended as satire, I'm sure many would hear it as validation of their uglier impulses.
I personally dislike this song so much that I've recorded other music over it both places it appears in my Stones tapes.

You would not be saying that if the relationship started with the man abusing and controlling the woman.

The thing to do with controlling women is dump them. You will not change people like that.
