Stereotype, and sadly, the most recent headlines prove that. The woman who murdered the other woman in the midwest US for her baby is proof. Yes, I'm sure there is mental illness involved, but.... when do we stop blaming everything except the person with blood on their hands?

Barring mental illness, I submit to you - Black Widows. They marry rich men, use 'em up, and find a way to kill 'em and move on.

Thing is, since women in general can be physically less powerful than men [extreme generalization here, I had a lightweight try to knock me out in the ring because he thought I was hitting him too hard and trying to knock HIM out, yet I was hardly punching], and our socialization regarding violence has traditionally been different than male's, you'll find that much more often, women will hire someone to do the deed.

Interesting book, though, and if you can't find it, I'll mail you my version.

And what is Kirlian photography?
