Rashi, on Esth 1:17

“For this deed of the queen will go abroad to all women, so that they will despise their husbands, and will say: King Assuerus commanded that queen Vasthi should come in to him, and she would not.”

“For the word of the queen will spread to all the women that she disgraced the king—[this will cause] all the women to despise their husbands as well.”
