Seriously, though: Yes, *that* lens is significantly smaller. Fuji doesn't offer a zoom in a similarly small package. They have the 27/2.8 (which I have, and which is my favorite lens on my Fuji) which makes it basically the same size, but it's not a zoom. But if you compare anything other than collapsing kit zooms specifically designed to be pancakes, they're pretty close to the same size--especially when you take into account that four thirds gear is handicapped to the tune of about a stop vs APS-C. Your girlfriend doesn't like carrying that big chonky 15-45 in her purse, but she also wouldn't want to carry the Panasonic with one of the non-pancake 14-42 lenses, which are about the same size as that 15-45. And once you get into the bigger and more interesting lenses, they're all big enough that, again the actual size difference doesn't matter that much. You might have a case again when you get up to the big telephotos, so it might make sense in that particular niche, although I'd personally still want a full frame camera for my once-in-a-lifetime shot of a lion running full tilt at me.
Anyway, get your girlfriend the Fuji 27/2.8 and see if she carries her camera around more. If she doesn't, it's not because MFT has smaller lenses, it's just because she's not actually that interested in carrying a camera around with her everywhere.
