Are any women brutish?
Don't recall reading about women being brutish in history, Not even about other species (cavemen are hunters while the women stayed home).
Other animals I recall did have brutish females, but not humans.

I expect you'd find many brutish men and women in prison.

After reading Wiki, I withdraw Lizzie Borden.

Only after she was lashed and her daughters gang-raped by the cohort.

Since she was likely made brutish, is there any another way to become brutish?Arising_uk wrote: โTue Sep 04, 2018 8:08 am Only after she was lashed and her daughters gang-raped by the cohort.

What about this delightful creature, Belle Gunness? Murdered all of her children and husbands and probably fed them to her hogs.
Beautiful children and a monster mother.

Re: Are any women brutish?
You probably don't recall hearing much about women in history; Their roles in society only changed relatively recent on a historical timescale. Those roles didn't allow much for contribution, but it also didn't allow much for the negative things, either. I'm not entirely sure if murder is one of them, though. I mean to be clear I think there are biological reasons why women murder less, but this was probably accompanied by social factors as well.Philosophy Explorer wrote: โMon Sep 03, 2018 12:03 am Don't recall reading about women being brutish in history,

To mention I have excellent recall. Heard about Vlad the Impaler. Never heard about Elizabeth Bathory before.Sir-Sister-of-Suck wrote: โTue Sep 04, 2018 8:40 pmYou probably don't recall hearing much about women in history; Their roles in society only changed relatively recent on a historical timescale.

Re: Are any women brutish?
Philosophy Explorer --- Brute is a derogatory word almost exclusively applied to men, like thug, barbarian, lout, swine, ogre, bastard. Accordingly, it must be very rare for women to be brutish. There are of course equivalent derogatory words for women, but for different sorts of behaviour -- female ways of being nasty. Virago, harridan, shrew, witch, nag, ogress. Bad men become famous because their misbehaviour is often against the law, whereas there are very few laws against female ways of misbehaving. Hence the twenty-to-one ratio of men to women in jail in the UK.
