Women are just as vicious as men.


It's hard to decide if feminists would love this movie or hate it. There's a quote from Don Siegel in the special features to the effect that women are just as capable as men of cruelty, hatred, viciousness and violence. In my personal experience I'm inclined to agree.

There was absolutely no reason to kill him at all. The excuse was that he would bring the wrath of the Yankees down on the school, but the MOTIVE was anger, jealousy, hatred and spite.

So, in your opinion, John was no threat to the women, their school and their safety whatsoever?
