Women as Targets of Serial Killers

Here you go mate

As to Ed Kemper, his mother hated men very deeply. She even ranted about it on and on to her son. So she might as well be a feminist.

My motivation? Nothing in particular just curiosity

A woman hating men doesn't make her a feminist.

Most feminists don't hate men at all. They appreciate men. They just want the same respect and rights as them in society and they pretty much have that now.

Not to mention that most of the information I could find on kemper’s mother described her as an angry woman who wouldn’t show softness towards her son for fear of turning him gay. Not exactly the tenant of wildfell hall.

I skimmed through this and couldn’t spot anything about misogyny

I’m not sure maternal relationship strains are always the issue.

Sexualisation just makes the impulses even more exciting and potent

If someone were to target me, I would revel in the excuse to employ "self-defence". I've never explicitly encouraged it, but on that thought, I imagine one of the most popular/effective methods for female killers would be luring or seducing their victims.

This is something I've also noticed, trauma and childhood do have a lot to do with what the person comes out like. Usually it is some form of resentment, sometimes people just prefer to kill one gender over another, or it's because they view women as weaker and easier to kill, or they kill mainly men because their upbringing tells them that they can't harm a woman.

Interesting observation.
