Does plausible deniability & hypergamy absolve women’s sins?

PD is something that isn't unique to women trying to absolve themselves from sin. The first examples are found in genesis when God asked Cain about his brother Abel and he replies "Am I my brother's keeper?". Everyone does this from the man clearing his browser history or washing his junk before coming home to his wife to the woman lying about her notch count because there wasn't a witness to corroborate the story.

Do they even know the truth? Or do they just rather not let their faults come to light?

Yes, they know the truth, be it that they did it so much they lost count, or they didn't tell him about the bartender on her bachelorette party after the bridesmaids passed out. A lot of times, they will just keep this hidden forever. There is a saying "a woman's heart is a deep ocean of secrets", so keep that in mind. For other women, they can't handle it and they can either "trickle" some of the "truth" out when you aren't really paying attention and relieve their guilt or start a huge fight over something you've done then drop the bomb on you after you've made a huge jerk of yourself first.

Does it not create their own form of righteousness?

Yes, yes it does. The word for that is idolatry by definition.

I’m wondering how God can reconcile a women who doesn’t believe she’s in the wrong.

Again, this isn't a problem that is unique to women. Consider the sermon on the mount, Jesus speaking mainly to men who saw themselves as righteous but who's hearts were wicked.

Or is that where the Holy Spirit comes in and makes changes to the person?

Bingo! The Holy Spirit's job is to convict us of sin, point us to Jesus, give us a new heart, and sanctify us continually until we either die or Christ returns for us. Again, not unique to women, it's the same for all of the elect.

What helped me is learning that we will all be held accountable for our own actions one day no matter what. If women want true “independence” and freedom then they need to realize that yes they are weaker but are still held to the same standard as God’s children, despite what people tell us.

A slap in the face to me would be sitting there on judgement day, pointing my fingers everywhere else and not realizing it’s all my own fault. That’s the trick of the enemy.

It may be harder to reflect and stand apart from the world being in such a herd mentality, but it is possible. I think women should look at their responsibility in a positive way. What a gift it is to be in charge of my own actions, to be given responsibility over myself to glorify God.

In your life, you will sin so much that you forget more sin than you remember. Make no mistake, you will remember every last one of those sins on the Day of Judgement. And you will he held accountable for them. As will we all, men and women alike.

But in the mind of a woman, where she can’t fully take responsibility for her actions or be held “accountable” for them.

That's a whale of an assumption!
