Villainizing Aileen Wuornos

Society is what defines a villain, society is in charge of “pointing fingers” at someone that has done something bad and therefore creates a big scandalous mess. There isn’t an impact of villains; they don't necessarily harm everyone, they just make people mad and sad at the same time. For example, if someone commits a murder the family of the victim gets really angry at that person but also they are unhappy about their loss and if it's a horrible case that the whole world gets to know about then everyone shares some empathy with the family. The damsel of death better known as Aileen “Lee” Carol Wuornos, is the first American serial female killer. Society did wrong in villainizing Aileen; they created a monster that never existed.

Phillies Chesler says that people are not used to seeing a woman fight for herself. “Women are held to higher and different standards than men.
