Where are All the Female Villain Costumes?
It’s Halloween season, and though I’m as excited as ever, I’m getting pretty sick of seeing the lack of variety in female costumes. Why does everything have to be preceded with SEXY! to be considered a female costume while the guys get all of the cool masks, fake blood and guts, monsters, and villains? Guys get Freddy Krueger; girls get SEXY!Freddy. (Is that not the most ridiculous, non-scary, non-Halloween costume you’ve ever seen?) The point is to be scary, not sexy. Do any costume makers out there even have women in mind when they design costumes, or are they all meant to simply reinforce the status quo and make men want to screw around in the graveyard come Halloween night?
