My wife and I are binge-watching Criminal Minds, and while I understand that most serial killers are men, it's fine that most killers on the show that are shown are men, what bothers me is that the few women who are shown always have this super tragic backstory of abuse by their father, hell, even when it's still man shown as the killer, it's always the father who was abusive.

Most TV shows completely ignore that stats show that mothers or mother figures perpetrate roughly 70% of all child abuse.
