I'd like to offer some evidence for hope that the larger public doesn't completely buy into the women-are-only-victims narrative. Two of the most popular, and long-running cable TV shows in the US center on women who kill. "Snapped" has been running since 21004. Each episode would explore a murder by a woman (originally a 30 minute episode, then an hour long). Unfortunately, the last episode I watched featured a man who did the killing (and I stopped watching new episodes, figuring they'd gone "woke").

Another great show, filmed partly in Australia and partly the US, and running since 2008, is "Deadly Women." Each episode tells the stories of 3 murderesses.

In both these shows, no ugliness is spared, and the women's early lived are not mined for excuses for them "turning" violent.
