“Culture refuses to see violence in women, and the law nurtures a special loathing for violent women. Unfettered violence, anger unleashed, the will to destroy, the need to undo—these acts run counter to everything we like to think we know about the feminine nature.” (226) I want to look into whether violent offenders who are women get harsher sentences than violent offenders who are men.

Interesting to be reading a book that mixes love/sex with cannibalism after watching Bones and All which does the same thing. I’ve never thought of these themes being connected.

Interesting to think about how psychopathy and other mental and personality disorders translate based on social roles like how differently a male vs female psychopath behaves.
