Want to Read"Male villains have motivations based on flaws in their character constantly and remain likable, but when villainesses have the same impulses, they're lambasted as the most terrible shrews and wretches who ever shew-ed or wretch-ed. Denying women characters the same base impulses as their male counterparts is misogynistic---and boring."-Cassandra Jones, Let Her Be Evil

Denying women characters the same base impulses as their male counterparts is misogynistic---and boring."-Cassandra Jones, Let Her Be Evil
"It's tempting to base a woman's evil on the abuse of a man or the death of a child, because they are, unfortunately, relatable and understandable motivations. However, insisting that women can only be evil once violence has been done to them robs them of agency and puts them on an unrealistic, restrictive pedestal as literary and critical figures."-Cassandra Jones, Let Her Be Evil
