I hate that whenever a woman does something wrong, people always say that if a man did the same thing people would freak out

Like no they wouldn't.

Countless men who've committed heinous crimes have gotten away with it without any consequences whatsoever. I'm tired of people whining about how women "can get away with anything". Here are a few examples:

Bill Cosby got away with all his assaults for years. https://www.google.com/amp/s/abcnews.go.com/amp/Entertainment/bill-cosby-trial-complete-timeline-happened-2004/story%3fid=47799458

R Kelly also got away with all the messed up things he did (including child pornograghy) up till 2019. https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-40635526

XXXTentacion literally tortured his girlfriend and people continue to support his music even after his death. https://www.google.com/amp/s/pitchfork.com/news/xxxtentacion-confessed-to-domestic-abuse-secret-recording-listen/amp/

Chris Brown abused several women(including Rihanna) and his fans defend him to this day. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/timeline-of-chris-browns-history-of-violence-towards-women-103402/rihanna-abuse-february-2009-103484/

And last but not least, Donald Trump, who went on to become the president, assaulted a woman and bragged about it. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.businessinsider.com/women-accused-trump-sexual-misconduct-list-2017-12%3famp
