Accountability should apply to everyone, regardless of gender. Violence and abuse (whether physical, emotional, or psychological) are unacceptable no matter who commits them. If a woman harms someone, she should face the same consequences as a man would in a similar situation. That said, the legal system is not always consistent, and biases exist in different directions depending on the context.

As for relationships, no one deserves to be stuck in an unhealthy or toxic situation. While personal responsibility is important, it’s also valid to acknowledge when someone else’s actions are harmful. Choosing to stay in a bad situation doesn’t make the harm okay; it just means the person has a difficult decision to make. Ideally, people should empower themselves to leave toxic environments, but that doesn’t excuse the person causing the harm either.

At the end of the day, relationships and personal happiness are complex, and a balanced perspective is key.
