I'm uncomfortable with the way everything is basically taking a very female perspective

I agree, at least somewhat.  Especially for those women who are deliberately vindictive, who make things up to get back at some guy.  If a woman tells lies about a man, he can be investigated - lose access to his kids, lose his job, have his entire life severely curtailed.  If nothing is turned up, if the allegations are completely false, the woman faces no consequences whatsoever.  That, to me, is wrong.

But then of course, there are the cases where the woman's complaints are not taken seriously enough and people die as a result.  Or women who end up in court facing their attacker, having to defend their own behavior and then watching their attacker walk out, scot-free, because the decision of the court was basically that her essentially normal behavior means his violence is acceptable.

There just doesn't seem to be any simple answer, no clear villain, nobody to "blame" really.
