Maybe, but it's more complicated than a sexist double standard, if that's what you mean. When it comes to Max vs. Rebecca, Max has more power. It's his wealth, his family name and community standing and the fact that he's a man who has all these things. If the time period/setting remained the same, switching the gender of the characters, Rebecca (even a wealthy Rebecca from a good family) still would not have the same power Max does in the original scenario. She would've been expected to ignore Max's affairs and abuse and put up with them, because that's what women of her class did. She might've even been criticized for complaining, because the facade was in place and very few people knew what was going on beneath. That's exactly how upper class people were supposed to conduct their affairs.

So yes, I could see people being happy for Rebecca if their roles were reversed. Because she'd be the underdog in a way that Max wasn't.
