Do you think we demonise women that are in the media for their crimes?

Asked by BeccaBoo (2725points) October 12th, 2011

By this I mean, we are more interested because they are women?
I am talking here more about the women of the media that have done vicious and violent crimes that were only expected of a man. For example, Amanda Knox, the media coverage on her has been immense, however she was tried alongside her then boyfriend, but we didn’t hear too much about him, it was as if it was expected.

There have been some evil and crazy female murderer’s out there, Karla Homolka, Aileen Wuornos, Amanda Knox, Myra Hindley, Rose West and of course Vera Renczi.

All these women have been glamorized and demonised in some way by the media, but do you think the fascination with them and their crimes is because they are women?

Help me out here jellies I need some inspiration on this please.
