List of men killed by women
This is a list of men directly killed by women (as opposed to caused and ordered deaths); it overlaps with mariticides, but isn't limited by it.
Context[edit]
Historically such cases have been somewhat uncommon and often considered humiliating, as highlighted by the fate of Abimelech[1]:
But a woman dropped an upper millstone on Abimelech’s head, crushing his skull.
He quickly called his armor-bearer, saying, “Draw your sword and kill me, lest they say of me, ‘A woman killed him.’”
So Abimelech’s armor-bearer ran his sword through him, and he died.
