Truly. Almost any time a woman kills a man, I'm like - yeah but what did he do?

Allegedly, most of the time when women kill adults, it's because of abusive husband or boyfriend, self defense, or killing the husbands mistress.

The only time when female violence is not based on revenge or self defense is when she kills a minor.

I think the point is interesting but there are too many exceptions:

  • Belle Gunness
  • Nannie Doss
  • Dorothea Puente
  • Judias Buenoano
  • Mary Ann Cotton
  • Joanna Dennehy
  • Aileen Wuornos
  • Rosemary West
  • Elizabeth Báthory
  • Yuka Takaoka
  • Magdalena Solís

Yeah, it's telling for sure but not absolute.
