female werewolves

Have you noticed that when you see a werewolf on tv, in a movie, or in a novel, not many of them are female? Female werewolves just aren’t as common as the male werewolf….but they do exist!!..Does it make much sense that werewolves would only be male?  After searching on the internet, I found one of the few movies about the female werewolf, a 1976 movie called Werewolf Woman.  Werewolf woman (aka The Legend of Werewolf Woman)  is about a psychotic woman who believes that she is a werewolf…apparently there is only one sequence of her as a werewolf (comes at the beginning of the movie), the rest focuses her on being psychotic.  Movie doesn’t sound too great, so don’t see it! hahhaha.

Real werewolve women can be found at the movies.

    yes…i thought I was the only one who noticed this…i just think its sexism in pop culture. A dominant (and likely hairy) female isn’t what the population wants to see. However the male vampire can be artisitc and tote his glass of red wine around…? I just don’t get the double standard there. No one has a problem with male vampires but a female werewolf is almost entirely unheard of. Very rare.

    @Moonwalker. This is true for most of the world’s population, but not for the users of DeviantArt. I don’t blame them. women and werewolves: two great tastes that taste great together.

    Hmmm… try not to think about that last quip too hard.

    It’s mostly because, according to the mythology on which werewolves and vampires are based, the predominant gender of lycan is male. The lack of female werewolves simply reflects their original scaricity. However, I do agree they ought to be represented one of these days and their story told too! I actually have started research in order to write my own story, featuring a female lycan as a main character…so maybe one of these days there WILL be a story out there!
