Outside from petty "evilness" that comes out of manipulating relationships? Are women capable of true evil? In the sense of becoming vilified like Hitler. With women's liberation, will they live up to the potential of "evilness"? Or if one came to power, everybody will just brush her off because "women are nice" spell? Or if Hitler was not truly evil, will any woman become a vilified scapegoat as much as Hitler is?

Give them time. They've been baby machines for most of human history and we've only had contraception in the past century. Indira Ghandi and Thatcher are the only women I can come up with who're responsible for atrocities on a large scale, but I'm sure if you give it a couple hundred years you'll get something hitler-esque.

No. I'm reading 'Sexual Personae' right now and Camille Paglia says it best when she says that there is no female Jack the Ripper for the same reason that there is no female Mozart.

I would say that, as a female myself, I don't feel the same strain or depth of drive to separate myself from the masses via acts of heroism, depravity, or creativity because I am already afforded a base amount of attention and grace simply because I am a woman. Men built societies to make individuals out of themselves, but living in a society doesn't automatically make you an individual. Society only ever promises a chance, if that. Most of the time men are just economic units for the government to suck money out of, that they then have to satisfy enough to get men to go to war for them. The advent of birth control elevated (or reduced, depending on your perspective) women to economic units as well, but even while the culture may treat men and women equally now, the law still skews heavily towards favoring women (in most regards).

Simply put, I'm not sure I can envision a woman getting a) mad enough to revolt at such a scale, b) charismatic enough to mobilize a populace behind her, or c) organized enough to effectuate such a strategy.

Retard since modern medicine there have been multiple heinously evil women. The only argument that might hold some water is that it's hormonal--since your social constructionist view of female behavior means that social and technological advancements could change those behaviors. That said, even the hormonal argument doesn't strike me as very convincing, because there've been some pretty evil impotent men, just take Hitler for an example.

Retard I was responding to OP and to >>19507452 which posed the question of women being evil on the scale of Hitler. As OP already mentioned women, individually, are largely capable of every act of malice that men are capable of such as the ones you point out medically -- Nurse Ratchet types like Jane Toppan or Kristen Gilbert -- or women like Aileen Wuornos, which is probably the most household female serial killer name because she actually used a gun. Women by and large don't use lethal force which is why women statistically have higher rates of suicidal ideation but not of suicide itself. They use alcohols, pills and poisons, as you pointed out, to kill themselves and others.

Unless we invent some nuclear bomb version of morphine, I just don't seem women as being capable of killing on the scale of men like Hitler, which was the point that I was responding to.

And I was rebutting your claim, since there have been female world leaders--like Ghandi and Thatcher who've been mentioned throughout the thread--with bodycounts to match male dictators. Although they aren't on the same level as the very worst genocides, they've only really had a hundred years to show what they can do. Give them another millennia and they'll commit crimes against humanity, too. What we probably won't see is individual women without any kind of institutional power committing a series of perverse crimes (in the vein of Albert Fish, Ted Bundy, Jeffery Dahmer, etc.) for the reasons you've pointed out, but also because law enforcement is far more efficacious than it was even 50 years ago.

I think you could have a women who does Hitler level evil, but I don’t think it would look significantly different than the male variety. I’m agnostic towards Thatcher since I’m not British, but I think her and Ghandi prove that you could have a skilled female politician who leads all the usual men to commit genocide for all the usual reasons.

Elizabeth Bathory was pretty evil. Countess/serial killer in the 1500s...took peasant girls and daughters of lesser nobles and tortured them to death in her castle. Estimates put the number tortured/murdered at around 300. I'd say she was a lot more evil than Hitler.

There are also a few ancient Chinese political figures who did some really fucked up shit. Empress Wu was fairly ruthless (but her reputation has been pretty white-washed).

Aside, as far as males go it seems a lot more evil to abuse power to inflict torment for personal sadistic pleasure. Sure, Nazism was an ideological monster and Hitler was at its head but at least it's somewhat detached. Using China as an example again, there was a prince (Liu Pengli) who was pretty much the same as Ramsey Bolton; he was bad enough that the Emperor at the time was asked to execute him--he ended up just taking away his lands/title and banishing him.

I don't know. Different faces of evil. Both are scary.
