Hell hath no fury like the rath of a woman scorned?
I've always wondered why the phrase goes like this when I've heard of MANY MANY more violant crimes commited by men who have been jilted, done wrong, cheated on, and who are jelouse etc....

You almost got it right, it's...

Well, whether it's a man or woman scorned, that saying is of course correct. Hell has much more fury than either one. Praise God that He loves us so much He gave Christ to die for us and rise again to save us from Hell so that we could believe Him and follow Him to go to Heaven instead!

the two concepts are not mutually exclusive; "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned." really says nothing about the statistics of male violence towards women, but it specifies the emotional vigor with which a scorned woman may react - two completely different things. |

We'd seen a new side to Liz. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. They can get upset at the slightest thing, whether it be forgetting to acknowledge them in front of one's friends, or insisting on splitting a restaurant bill in proportion to the cost of food actually ordered by each party even though that's only fair. I'd have to try and change. Tomorrow I'd tell her she'd lost weight, or that her hair looked nice. Whichever seemed more plausible.
