Food for thought: why are the ruthless and crazy killers in horror films usually cast as men. What does this say about misandry and society's perceptions of men? Let's write a paper on that.
I'm not sure why this is a great message. Are you saying that young women should be taught that if they aren't chaste they deserve to die?

And yeah, the killers usually are cast as men. There would be little value in casting a woman in the role in most instances. Because in our society, it's only women that have to be chaste. Men apparently have different rules. Is this still a good message to impart on young girls?
