hell hath no fury like a woman scorned
from William Congreve's 1697 The Mourning Bride, the lines were "Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, / Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned." Not only does the senseless repetition of this phrase assume that women react in ways men wouldn't but it ignores the appalling statistical evidence that men are much more likely than women to express their fury by killing the women who have left or are leaving them.
