Nicola Sturgeon says women are often expected to accept blame for the actions of men. Speaking about the issue, the former First Minister of Scotland describes advice she received from former US First Lady Hillary Clinton, which Sturgeon says reflected a broader pattern of women being held responsible when a man’s behaviour is at fault. Across the reports, Sturgeon’s comments focus on attitudes and expectations around responsibility and accountability, arguing that the burden can fall disproportionately on women even when the underlying conduct is driven by a man. The outlets frame the remarks as part of Sturgeon’s reflections on gender dynamics and public scrutiny, rather than as a response to a specific new incident. The reports do not provide additional details about any particular case, and the wording cited is the central element of the coverage, emphasizing that women are “expected to carry the can” for a man’s actions.
