Both, Artemis could kill or heal (with her arrows) women, as Apollo could (with arrows) kill or heal men.
Yes, though these were often hunters - both men and women - who shared her interests.

The gods Artemis and Apollo were both said to spread sicknesses; Apollo targeting the men and Artemis targeting the women. Other than that, they don't share much responsibilities.
They are the same person - Artemis is the Greek goddess and Diana is the Roman counterpart and both virgin goddesses that think men what to take away women's independence, etc. They are both d=goddesses of the Hunt, childbirth, virgins, the moon, and wildlife....
She was the goddesws of hunting, protecting animals, punishing the wicked, and kill men.
Some are, most are not. Women don't kill or harm as many men harm men, or men harm women.
Artemis is the goddess of the hunt, the moon, virginity, childbirth, and the wild. She was supposed to drive the moon chariot across the sky, protect maidens, help women in childbirth, punish those who killed more animals than they could eat, send plagues through wicked cities, and kill men who rape women.
She is a virgin goddess. She sees men as ugly idiots who want to take away a women's independence. It is just her personality.

Artemis hated men and wanted nothing to do with them. She was a virgin goddess and had a group of followers who she forced similar vows of chastity on. Men were forbidden to have contact with them.
Artemis was - among other things - a goddess of childbirth, and the protectress of the girl child up to the age of marriage. Her twin brother Apollon was similarly the protector of the boy child. Together the two gods were also bringers of sudden death and disease--Artemis targetted women and girls, and Apollon men and boys. What gives life, in short, can take it away.
