I think we can all agree that a person can be evil regardless of their gender. There are evil men and there are evil women. We do live in a patriarchal society and due to that some men can get away with a LOT, because they have money and power. India is still a country where women are suppressed and I doubt we will ever see a day when women are NOT being suppressed. No matter what happens we love to blame women. I remember when Sushant died so many people were convinced that Rhea Chakraborty was responsible for his death. She got so much blame and hate. There was no evidence against her.
While I agree that "evil" is gender neutral, that India and for that matter South east Asia and probably, the entire world to some degree is patriarchal with women often being at the receiving ends of unthinkable level of atrocities and rich men often getting away with such atrocities, the same statement bars generalization, in my opinion, because as you have said, it is often the rich ones who can get away. However, in most parts of the world (probably barring the ones that are governed by Shariah Laws/ those far off places that still have to panchayats to resolve legal matters, in countries like India), the Laws in general are female friendly. And the sad part is the Laws that have been formed to protect women have now become tools of revenge and settling scores in the hands of a few evil ones. We have heard multiple instances of misuse of Dowry Laws, the new ones on rise are allegations of "alleged" r*pe after consensual intimacy for some really twisted reasons. And the fact is the legal system still see women as victims even when they are NOT..
On the other hand, YES, suppression of fairer gender, domestic violence, marital rap*s are rife not only in India but the entire of the South-Eastern Asia. That is where the REAL Feminism needs to be exercised-- the concept that grants equal social, political and most importantly ECONOMIC right to women as any man. The concept that ensures equal CEREBRAL opportunities across genders. However, I renounce the generalization that in instances/cases that pit men against women, men are always the perpetrators and women always the victims.
