Bisexual women as psychopat killers

Whats up with bisexual women being portrayed as psychopat killers in Hollywood movies? Movies like this, Basic Instinct and certanly more of them i can't remember. If gay or bisexual men would be portrayed this way it would be continually crusified as homophobic etc, but in the case of women it is being tolerated. It's *beep* And what is even the base for this? Straigth women are just as, or even more crazy than bi ones, i know from my experience.

Do you agree?

Yes,i´m agree, but lesbianism is against the natural order of the things!

I don't know. I think it emphasises the point that sexuality can be something that is shaped by social norms (which psychopath killers tend to have abandoned)

I'm pretty sure I have seen movies that have 'effiminate' (if not flamboyantly gay or bi) male villians...but the only one I can think of at the moment, and it's not a very good example, is the James Mason character in Hitchcock's North by Northwest who has a relationship with the Spy Girl Eve but also, it hints, maybe with his henchman Leonard.
