>>510014189 (OP)This perspective is very troubling. To me, personally, but also troubling to society at large.
It's not about gender. It's not about "man bad, woman victim".
Women can be evil. Women can hurt other women, and they DO. Very often. It really clashes with this artificial worldview that we are raised with in the West. We're taught that women are inherently good and virtuous, or at least that women stick together and help each other and would never dream of hurting other women.
It's a lie. Being a control-freak is something women can do. Getting off on other people's pain is something women can do. Harsh discipline, punishments, and "putting someone in their place" is something women can do. Wanting power over others is something women can do. Loving money more than loving your fellow human being is something women can do.
SO many brothels have a woman running the show. Even as younger, vulnerable woman are forced to sell their bodies, the cold-hearted old hag tells them to get over it, tough it out, accept reality, and spread those legs. Many human traffickers are women. People need to realize this. You cannot protect yourself or the ones you love if you automatically write off 50% of the population as harmless saints.
And if you really believe in equality of the sexes, you'd be glad to see a female criminal facing justice.
