Women do experience violence frequently, but only as much as their male counterparts. I wouldn't say for spectacle as it is crucial to the plot, but the violence could be described as "gratuitous". None of the violence is seen as a good thing though.

The Gerhardt children are all adults, but there are multiple mentions of physical and emotional abuse from their father.

Abuse of his daughter by Dodd Gerhardt is also a recurring plot point.

The main plot of season 5 does show a woman being abused by the main villan, Roy Tillman. However the main characters entire story is trying to kill him, and let's just say he gets his just desserts.

Actually, I retract my statement. An abused son commits attempted kidnapping and murder to make his abusive father proud. He does learn his lesson by the end though.

Hanzee Dent, an Indigenous man, asks for a hair cut from a character but ultimately does not go through with it. He asks for something “professional” and states he is “tired of this life” alluding to the racism he faces and the chaotic life he leads working for the main crime family in the season.

There is an earlier very briefly depicted flashback of him as a child at an American Indian Boarding School where his hair is shorter (this was often done as an attempt to eliminate Indigenous cultural ties). Though Hanzee’s specific group is not mentioned, hair for many Indigenous cultures has a strong spiritual and emotional significance.

A character is called psychotic, there's a scene of forced institutionalization where they are restrained with belts and moved to an hospital set up.
Also, while trying to escape the hospital, the same character uses an old lady in a wheelchair as a prop to her escape, wheeling her around without asking.
