Name your top 10 movie villains, bet they’re all men, idk why but society has just made men the villain

This is a non sequitur. You can't deduce that just because a majority of villains in fiction are men, it means that they think men are villains. A majority of villains also breathe, does that mean society has something against breathing?

Jenny from Forest Gump is a recurring argument.

Only really 3 I can think of:

Cersei Lannister

Mama

The chick from Misery

There are not as many female main villains vs men, not sure if it's a sexist thing as much as it is more believable that men could be a villain since more men tend to occupy places at the extreme ends of the scale of human behavior.

Well, for what it’s worth, believable villains are never buffoons. So there’s that silver lining.

Well, there are a considerable amount of female villains, but the problem is this: Our society doesn't allow female villains to be actually 100% villains.

Probably this is related to the "women are wonderful effect" that prevents us to see that women are not always good or have any redeemable good qualities, sometimes they just do harmful actions with no justified reason as a man can also do.

One of the rare exceptions is when the hero is also female, probably an effort of the writers to avoid accusations of abuse ( i just remember that controversy with that X-men apocalypse poster some years ago).

The most recent example of a female villain I have as "recent" is 2014 that doesn't get redemption at the end of the film is "gone girl".

And I doubt I can say she is the villain because all the characters in that film aren't exactly saints, but the way how her actions are portrayed in the film makes you feel more sympathy for the guy than for her, even if that wasn't the director's intention.

Top ten heroes also men lmao. Society does make men villains but this is a weak argument in support of that.
