I don't think it's necessarily true that mainstream TV doesn't focus on women's crimes. In fact, I think it's worse than that. Instead of ignoring women's crimes, a lot of the time crimes committed by women are romanticized. If you take a look at the Investigation Discovery channel, you'll find shows like Deadly Women ("Deadly Women fuses bone-chilling story-telling, sumptuous period drama and forensic fact in a bid to explore history's most alluring female killers.), Facing Evil, Scorned: Love Kills.

And even the shows that aren't solely about female killers feature a few of them, and when they do it always seems to be either romanticized or to always be excuse what they did.

And to top it off, they have shows like I Married a Mobster and Who The BLEEP Did I Marry? that always shows women as being the victim.

Wasn't a female mass muderer, who killed baby children at the nursery I think, taken off the wiki top -- list (by opponents) because we brought attention to it?

B-but we should be shutting down female prisons because women can't be dangerous!

This woman was one of the most sadistic blood hungry people ever to live, and she didn't murder for any goal or ideology. She killed simply because she liked it.

This is what they had to say about the the lady that killed her 5 kids:

[describes the deliberate, premeditated drowning of children] She should have immediately been put in a hospital. But instead, they put her on trial and threatened her with a death sentence [...] She needed help, not the spectacle of a trial.

wow, just wow.
