Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The standard narrative used by the media to construct women who commit serious crimes is the "evil woman" or "bad mother" narrative. This narrative portrays these women as going against society's expectations of women as caretakers and nurturers, and instead being selfish, manipulative, and heartless. The "good mother" narrative, on the other hand, is used to construct women who are seen as upholding these traditional gender roles and expectations. However, this narrative is not typically used in cases where women commit serious crimes.
