I'd forgotten Joyce attacking Spike in "School Hard", but that falls under the women getting violent only to defend themselves category. Did I make that a category? Possibly not because it isn't necessarily considered acceptable for a woman to use violence to defend herself.
Oh yeah, I totally get internalized resentment. Maybe that's part of the appeal of a mob, a chance to get violent in an approved (at least by the group if not wider society) manner. Have you ever read Tiptree's The Screwfly Solution? Not female violence, the idea of in-group approved violence reminded me of it.
