No excuse for evil

I don't disagree with the point made here: http://youtu.be/YaqrNUKqsZg about 21st Century western media excusing women from moral responsibility and so infantilising them.

I do take issue, though, with whether women in a successful society are really capable of being evil.

Evil is slippery, but maybe best defined as behaviour that threatens a society from growing successfully, given the conditions of the time. Since continued societal success depends on reproduction and reproduction depends on the scarce resources possessed (to date) by women, is it so surprising that women can do virtually no evil?

Think of it this way: suppose one society imprisons it's women in single sex prisons at the same rate as it imprisons its men. Its neighbouring society's courts imprison their women hardly at all. Which society grows fastest?

Of course, this argument prohibits gender equality unless and until reproductive resources are available to all. But, then, that is no great surprise either.
