Also, you can't really "manage" your boss if he/she is gaslighting you. This is a criminal offense (or should be, depending on where you live) and must be punished accordingly.

However, very often in reality, at the heart of the argument that one has to just hang on and suffer well with their job is an insecurity that one doesn't deserve better.
To mental health professionals, I assume they would understand that the people looking for advice and reading their articles are from emotionally/physically/economically insecure environments, from which the advice "suffer well" is essentially entirely non-productive because it is their lack of a feeling of security that prevents them from knowing they deserve better. From the lack of security, which causes the lack of the knowledge that they deserve better, these people will typically not ever try to come up with a way out of their abuse until they hit rock bottom.
It's not that that's inherently a worse way to live, but the reason behind this way of living is typically (but not always) due to hidden insecurities, which abusive bosses freaking love to exploit because it's works very well at controlling their insecure employees. Yes someone can be secure and live like this but I think many would agree that this is a rare scenario and not the best advice for the average person looking at these articles.
But the minute words like "toxic" or "abusive" come into play, absolutely the options are "validate the abuser's hold". or "get out"
It scares me that you can write these things without realizing the consequences and without being downvoted or having your comment removed.
"He/she said something that makes me doubt my reality, I want criminal prosecution." The level of policing that would take, is just unimaginable. The only societies that have come anywhere near this level of state control are East Germany, the Soviet Union and China. Your view would be a lot worse than those all together.
How about you just quit and find another boss and then we don't have to completely overhaul our society in a way we know doesn't work.
How the prosecution of gaslighting makes us closer to authoritarian countries? To countries where abuse of others is the main policy? You're talking nonsense, saying that white is black and vice versa.
The prosecution of gaslighting doesn't require full state control. Gaslighting involves lies, hidden threats, and other offenses. All of this can be proved in court, in theory.
Here, I found some laws for you https://www.legalmatch.com/law-library/article/emotional-abu... They are in family context, but similar things happen in a corporate setting.
