Your assessment of Adalind as a rapist is a prime example. Did Adalind rape Nick for revenge? Or did Adalind prostitute herself in order to gain access to her baby who had been kidnapped? It all depends on who’s getting a free pass and who’s not. Juliette definitely took a nosedive to the dark side, but did she get the level of understanding and support the group would have given to Nick in that predicament? Again, it all depends on who gets a free pass and who doesn’t.
My reference to Nick and Renard was more about the male characters being treated differently from the female characters. All the blame would have been put on Adalind had Hank died in S1. Renard wouldn’t likely have suffered any repercussions despite being the mastermind. He admitted his attempt on Marie’s life then immediately became Nick’s ally. Boys will be boys.
And for me, the worst is the female characters changing identities then having sex. Nick had sex with Juliette and Adalind as each other and as themselves. Eve became Renard and had sex with Rachael. But for some reason, the males characters haven’t changed into a female identity and had sex with another male. Wonder why that is?

Adalind went from being loyal to Renard to being loyal to Nick, her dependency of character hasn't changed just because the object of that loyalty has. It was going through changes within herself that helped swing her from the one to the other beginning with motherhood. Nick has gone further to affirm her position in his life than Renard ever did making it easier for her to stick by Nick even when her conditions are worse off than when she's with Renard. And it helps that Nick has a savior complex that is stroked easily by Adalind's own nature (not her hexenbiest nature).What little I’ve seen and read about Elizabeth and Henrietta doesn’t fit this profile. I didn’t get the impression Elizabeth was blindly loyal to anyone, or loyal to any degree, if it went against her best interest. And Henrietta could have made every man on the show her bitch.
So why is it so obviously different for Adalind, Juliette, and Eve, other than they personally interact with the male lead?
