men stalkers vs. women stalkers

I'm not sure it's true that most stalking movies feature women stalkers. But from a story-telling perspective it would make a bit more sense, because women are perceived to be more harmless than men. Consequently, it would be easier for the stalker to get away with it, and more difficult for the victim to be believed. A woman being stalked by a man would be taken very seriously by the police, and it wouldn't take much for them to issue a warrant for his arrest. A man reporting a woman, however, might easily experience not being taken seriously by the police. Indeed, the female stalker could easily stage events and get her male victim in trouble with the law. A frightened, tearful girl is almost always going to be believed over some guy who seems to be angry with that poor little girl for some reason. So from a story-telling perspective, there is a lot more to work with if the stalker is female.

In my entire long life I've only encountered one stalker, and it was a woman. My best friend's younger sister was obsessed with John Denver and was arrested trying to break into his house. She was a total nut job.
