Does the existence of, let's say, "bad women" or female criminals/psychopaths/those with a dark side...

... like in this movie but not limited to that, let alone, REAL LIFE, where you know, 9 billion people on the planet with, what is it 10,000 years (for how long have humans existed on this Earth?) of life so far, maybe several tens of thousands, well...

Does their existence AS WELL made you, as a CIVILIZED HUMAN BEING, mind you, NOT any type of misogynist, sexist, selfish being etc let alone one with perverse and criminal tendencies that are frowned by society and whatnot (then again, how many genuine and official GOOD people live on this planet?), make you QUESTION if either all men are bad OR...

If various bad men, with say some exceptions of them maybe in a few cases needing to be killed if say in SELF DEFENSE (let's say they are threatening you and you don't even have TIME to call police etc), should really be hated AS WELL or STILL, even with perhaps there being differences between men and women as well as the unfortunate fact that yes throughout human history men have been the dominants of evil deeds and women suffered at their hands too much as well as even today etc?

And have you ever given it any SERIOUS thought?

And more to the point, so that you as a human being don't face the danger of becoming biased, incorrect, wrong let alone dangerous or even have UNPOPULAR VIEWS of various kind that may get you in trouble with civilized portions of society and have people ACTIVELY look down on you and ostracize you, and you may just be, like ME, a DECENT human being who at least OCCASIONALLY give these things a thought?

Beyond the very OBVIOUS ones that both men and women, besides EQUALITY, should be say legally arrested and imprisoned were they to break some or other laws, but maybe one group of people has a higher potential for redemption and the other say more likely to reoffend and perhaps because men are naturally also physically stronger and can't get pregnant hence why in GENERAL these AURAS and AMBIENCES exist around us and we don't get at least in general called out for it here or there.

And I know this topic will be like both beating a dead horse and most people who are this and that probably won't change their views BUT...

Ah! Someone like ME. Very DEEP thinker. Who occasionally gets depressed and unhappy as well thinking about it all. Even OBJECTIVELY. Wants a perfect balance. A satisfying narrative. Not total preaching or condescension. Maybe SOME indulgence. A perfect understanding. And even in FILMS, for I am a HUGE film fan TOO, you know, an atmosphere that doesn't mentally throw us off tracks for ANY reason, and not just "painful truth", a lot of which actually I CAN take! But anyways...

Cheers. (And yes I know I know!)

Please learn how to express yourself in writing, or get sober, then come back and try again.

Oh come on, please, don't tell me I failed again, even so, THIS MOVIE at least to a degree tried to raise that question.

And even if I was being a little hyperbolic style-wise, what exactly is wrong with that and if I was a bit emotional in others, well...

And English isn't my first language by the way so if I come across also like this, its because I am not a native Anglo-saxan human being.

I can also tell (no offense but), you probably haven't given it too much thought, emotional importance etc in your life, but I sort of did, however, I myself don't have ALL the answers here but I am sometimes feeling as if I am objectively forced into broaching such questions.

Otherwise, you might have said "Well, that's a deep question, and I understand this and that, but actually oh yeah, it can be like this, but then, its because of men being this and mostly that, but also, yeah, its not that simple but its understandable as well"... Again, not telling you what to do (its entirely your choice) but just to give a rough idea of what I was approximately looking for.
