Men like to claim that women are vindictive, but they constantly forget about this and are seriously surprised to see, finally, a woman's revenge for bullying or abuse. They are so surprised that the avenger immediately enters into legends. Here are just a few of them, from antiquity to the present day.

Iraq, 2015: a runaway slave who was not afraid to return

Taken into slavery for rape and other bullying, a woman who chose to hide her name from glory managed to escape from ISIS captivity in Iraq and return with weapons in hand to shoot the militant leader who held her in slavery, generously sharing the slave with her “subordinates . A leader named Abu Anas, a former Russian citizen, was widely known in Iraq for his atrocities. The abduction of women for torture and rape is a common ISIS practice. According to these Muslim radicals, death at the hands of a woman closes the road to heaven, so the fugitive decided not to entrust her revenge to anyone. However, according to other sources, Abu Anas was killed by the Americans, and the story of the avenger is just a folk legend.

In fact, the plot of this legend almost repeats the story of the Celtic queen Boudicca during the conquest of Britain by Ancient Rome. The Roman conquerors publicly whipped her and then raped her along with her two daughters. Simply because they could: she was designated as the heiress of his lands by the king of one of the Celtic tribes who accepted Roman power, and the Romans decided that the woman needed to "show her place."

Their act gave Boudicca the opportunity to raise an uprising not only of his own tribe, but also of several neighboring ones - so the Celts were outraged. As a result, the Ninth Spanish Legion was completely destroyed, and in total the Celts killed 80,000 Romans, that is, the entire colony on the site of present-day London.

India 2004: Women vs. Akku Yadawa

A gangster named Akku Yadav for several years, instead of with his accomplices, killed, robbed, and also organized brutal gang rapes of girls and women, copying scenes from porn videos. The police covered him, and as a result, he not only turned out to be "elusive", but also knew by name everyone who dared to try to write statements against him.

Finally, the residents of the area where he operated were able to come to an agreement. They broke into Yadav's house, beat him and took him to the police, where they threatened the police with reprisals if they did not arrest the bandit. When it came to trial, there was a rumor that the patrons had promised Yadav that in prison he would live like a king, eat well and call prostitutes. During the meeting, two hundred women who suffered from Yadava burst into the hall and killed him, literally tearing him to pieces. They were not prosecuted.

USA 1999: The Difficult Case of Castration

Castration crime stories usually revolve around husbands 'unfaithfulness and wives' passionate passion, but not in the case of Lorena Bobbit. When she was asked why she cut off her drunken sleeping husband's penis, took it away in a car and threw it out the window, she replied that he beat her for too long and took it by force. On the night of the crime, he did it again, and when Mr. Bobbit fell asleep, Lorena felt that she had nothing to lose - except that she was not ready to kill a man.

Mr. Bobbit really stopped hitting and raping women - after considering all the evidence, he was tried for domestic violence, and only men ended up in prison. It is not known whether Bobbit tried to mock the men or was only brave against women. Lorena, having come to her senses, founded an organization that helped women escape from domestic tyrants.

Byzantium, VI century: revenge on the system

Theodora was prostituted in her early youth. She was not just a prostitute, but a participant in public porno shows, during which she had to copulate with a large number of men at the same time. She became pregnant more than once, but caused miscarriages in herself, either herself or under pressure from prostitutes. She, however, managed to get a more or less decent education, attending Monophysite meetings, where many difficult things were discussed, and learned the craft (spinning).

After Theodora ransomed, took with him to Egypt, and then abandoned her lover, she managed to return to Constantinople and start a new life. She later became the wife of the military leader Justinian. When Justinian received the imperial title, Theodora became his co-ruler and ordered to expel all brothel owners from Byzantium, believing that in this way she would stop the prostitution of other girls and women. John Malala recounts this act as follows:

“At the same time, the pious Theodora, after her other good deeds, did the following. The so-called brothel keepers darted around, looking out everywhere for the poor with daughters, and, giving them promises and a little nomism, they took those [girls] supposedly for upbringing. [Themselves] exhibited them publicly, taking advantage of their misfortune and receiving low profit from [selling] their bodies. And forced them to expose themselves.

She [Theodora] ordered to find such brothel keepers with the utmost care. And when they were brought along with the girls, she ordered everyone to tell about the oath given to their parents. They said they gave five nomism for each [girl]. After what was said was confirmed by an oath, the pious Vasilisa, having given money, freed the girls from the yoke of bitter slavery, commanding that there should be no owners of brothels, and the girls, having presented them with clothes and given according to nomism, released them”

Ancient Russia, X century: and what did she dislike?

As you know, Prince Vladimir, who later became a saint, took as many women as he wanted and without asking, not even taking into account (which at that time was not accepted) with their origin. Among the victims of his lust was the young bride of his brother, the daughter of the princes of Polotsk, Rogneda. Vladimir ravaged Polotsk, raped Rogneda in front of his parents, killed them in front of her, and then made one of his wives, singling out a separate tower.

A few years after the joys, Vladimir did not leave Rogneda's tower, but fell asleep in it. The woman immediately tried to stab him, but - due to lack of habit - did not succeed. The prince woke up and was angry. He did not understand in any way why he was being treated so cruelly. For "female deceit" he decided to punish Rogneda with death, but their little son stood up to protect her. Vladimir was embarrassed, left, and then sent Rogneda and his son back to Polotsk, to reign. Although Rogneda's revenge did not succeed, at least she stopped tolerating the constant rape of her parents' killer.

But more often women in history took revenge not on their husbands, but on their killers, how "Bloody Countess" and Italy's favorite Caterina Sforza avenged her murdered husbands.
