"Why Women Kill" received a 95% audience rating on rotten tomatoes, and many netizens praised the fresh theme. Although it has three main lines, it still sticks to the theme of the series. Co-directed by Marc Cherry and Lucy Liu, the hit TV series "Desperate Housewives" has a stark title: why women kill. The plot focuses on three women from different generations and professions living in the same big room: Beth Ann (Ginnifer Goodwin), a housewife in the 1960s; Simone (Lucy Liu), a socialist in the 1980s; and Taylor (Kirby howell-baptiste), a powerful female lawyer who deals with her husband's infidelity. It also describes how women's social status changes over time, which affects their attitudes towards love and betrayal.
In the past, many European and American TV series focused on how male murderers committed crimes, but rarely mentioned female murderers, so "Why Women Kill" successfully aroused the curiosity of fans. The conclusion that women cannot kill is still valid today. The women will think general public more empathy or a group of being seen as weak, committed murder cases may be very low, so is not too early before the American journal of Psychology tended to mention the murderess no may not exist Today, just different from male killer, their motivation and they also have a kind of male killer won't some traits.
First of all, the motives of female murderers usually do not involve sex, while male murderers often get sexually excited during the killing and commit crimes. In fact, abuse is rare, and most female murderers grow up with few unpleasant childhood experiences or abuse and sexual abuse. In other words, if a woman is going to kill, there is a good chance that she is going to do it for some real reason, not to satisfy a physical or mental desire.
Some scholars believe that the public often underestimates the abilities of women to believe that teenage killers exist, but in fact female serial killers are probably far more numerous than the number of people who have been arrested. Male murderers tend to view their victims as prey, and kill them as if they were hunting prey, and dismember them as trophies. As for women, one study found that 80 percent of killers pick someone they know, because women have a "collector" quality, which is the opposite of a man's hunter mentality. The female character is actually more symbolic, that is, during the collection, they will subconsciously keep the victims around, and will take good care of them before killing them.
In addition, a 2015 study found that 40 percent of female serial killers work in the health care field. They prefer to stay in one place to pick out a target, but because of their physical strength and mental concentration, they do not choose violent methods, such as using poison, which makes it harder to find the cause of death. Like Jane Toppan, a female nurse who killed more than 30 people in the 19th century, she liked to poison her patients and then watch them die slowly, sometimes forcing other patients to "watch" the killing with her.
