Why do those who support feminism try to say Aileen Wuornos does not represent feminism.?

@ Know it all, good point Aileen had more integrity than most fems

1. Aileen admitted to her crimes and actually repented before she got the needle. She did say something to the effect that her being alive is not good for humanity, because in her own words, she couldn't see the positives in society, and that she always felt her inner anger. Feminists have the special knack of turning a blind eye to the misandry of their ICONS/GODS like A. Dworkin, V. Solanas, G. Greer and H. Harman.

2. She was a serial killer. She never mentioned anything about feminism. There are far more male serial killers than females. Would that make Ted Bundy, Will Picton, etc all masculinist. Take some classes in philosophy because your arguments are really lame.
3. She was a murderous scum bag who deserved what she got.
4. Aileen Wuornos was a serial killer, and quite mentally ill. I have never tried to define feminism because each feminist I know, either personally, or through my research has a slightly different slant on how they define feminism. I define myself as an intelligent, capable, woman who enjoys my gender, makes sound and many times difficult decisions, can change a tire, change the oil in my auto, garden, clean the house, cook, do finish carpenter work, lay ceramic tile, do interior plumbing repair and changes, ya know, most of the things many women do. I maintain my physical appearance because I like to look good, and have personal pride. I have a wonderful guy who truly appreciates me, and who occasionally meets me at the door wearing only an apron. He has a really cute butt, and great legs. We laugh together a lot, and really have no sex roles. So, to me, the philosophy behind feminism is just that. No categorized sex roles.
5. To attempt to say that Wuornos representsfeminism is like saying Charles Manson represent all Californians or that OJ Simpson represents all football players..and you know that's not true.
6. I've never seen anything about her saying anything about feminism and what she did to me doesn't have anything really to do with feminism either so... =o/ Never seen her mentioned to do with feminism either until you just now. Good show ^5 haha I wouldn't deny she was a feminist if there were anything out there saying she was, what she did doesn't reflect on me as a feminist, women or human being. She did what she did, not me, so I have nothing personally invested there.
7. She doesn't represent feminism any more than Jeffrey Dahmer represented gay men. She was a mentally disturbed woman who lashed out at white middle-aged men because those were the people who had abused her when she was younger.
