Latent Pedestalizing?

Edeavour was good. I wouldn't mind seeing more, though the purists might not like that idea, "Young Detective Morse." I have not seen all of the Inspector Morse episodes with John Thaw. He is a favorite of Fr. V. (I found out that four more episodes are in the works.)



*spoiler warning*


I watched the episode and while the final reveal of the villain made sense, I was struck by how alien a woman committing murder seemed to me at the moment, almost as if I thought women in general are less prone to committing murder than men because they are more hesitant to take a life (i.e. morally "superior") or because they are not able to follow through on that desire for some other reason. There has been some discussion about abortion at Dalrock and how some women are able to do it rather "easily." So is there a significant difference between men and women when it comes to the potential for taking another's life? Probably not, especially if we remember the power of emotion upon action. What do the murder statistics tell us?
