Evil women and eros

There was recently some furor about Lynndie England, a PFC in Iraq, having been party to shameful behavior towards POWs. There’s something particularly stunning about women being party to such things.

They have the ability to quicken life itself inside of them - isn’t that quintessentially male quality of torture - the slow, debasing, infliction of humiliation seem all the more shocking having come from a female?
