Marge took steroids and sexually assaulted her husband
Normally, Homer's the one who gets involved in zany schemes, but in Season 14's "The Strong Arms of the Ma," Marge is the one who goes overboard. After developing agoraphobia after getting mugged, she spends all her time inside the house, where all she can do is lift weights. She then gets involved in the bodybuilder scene to build up her confidence further, and through all this, she begins abusing steroids, which subsequently increases her aggressiveness.
At one point in the episode, she even forces Homer to get intimate with her even though he clearly doesn't want to. That's sexual assault, and while it may be played for laughs, it's a serious offense. It's arguably the worst thing Marge has ever done, and to further showcase how steroids can make one aggressive, Marge ends the episode by beating up a bar full of patrons and sailors.
Marge's actions are unforgivable, and while the episode glosses over Marge assaulting Homer, one Redditor (https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/8z22op/remember_when_marge_rapes_homer/e2ffqmo/) makes a valid point, "Reverse the genders and [I] bet that would probably be enough to get the Simpsons cancelled." Can't argue there ...
