I’ve always wondered why the majority of female serial killers aren’t motivated by psychosexual reasons. Most of them killed for material gain; or they gravitated towards abusive people and kept killing them; or they did it for fun; or they did it for “mercy” (e.g. the killer nurses).

Like everyone knows who Dahmer and Gacy are, but you’d be hard pressed to find someone who can name the female equivalent so easily.

If you factor in patriarchy, then it contributed to the male ones becoming more entitled and angry over perceived rights being violated. But women also have their sexuality repressed and shamed, and abuses aren’t taken seriously and even encouraged as “tradition” in many places - like you can probably find women who grow up with the same or worse conditions as male psychosexual killers, yet those wires are never crossed at the same rate as the male killers.
