You could also look at it from the other side, from a more misogynistic point of view. Because men are seen as the dominant members of society, songs that threaten them are generally "funny" or not to be taken seriously because of course "how would a woman even accomplish that?". That would be the sexist version of acceptance.

There are plenty of songs that denigrate women, songs about how they should be on their knees, or such things, so songs that devalue the other gender are accepted from both parties.

The only song I can think of in relation to what you're saying is that Dixie Chicks songs about the guy who mercilessly beats his wife, so she kills him.

For instance, here's a few lines from a very popular song by an extremely popular band:

I like your pants around your feet
And I like the dirt that's on your knees
And I love the way you can't say no
I like the white stains on your dress
And I love your lack of self-respect
I love my hands around your neck

Or this gem from Rick Ross:

Put Molly all in her champagne, she ain’t even know it - I took her home and I enjoyed that, she ain't even know it

So hardly, songs about women killing their abusers aren't so bad, are they?

Women might have a monopoly on the "I'm going to kill you!" songs, but men really run the table on the "I'm going to rape you!" songs.

Just boys being boys bra.
