The Critic's Checklist for Feminism

Center versus margins of power: A woman feels closer to the center of power if she forms a relationship with a violent and powerful man.

On the lookout for patriarchy: A feminist may say that this is self-destructive behaviour, which supports the continuation of male patriarchy.

Stereotypical oppositions between male and female: It is quite a stereotype to suggest that women are more attracted to dangerous but powerful men.

Madonna/whore paradox: On the other hand, the woman who is attracted to a dangerous man has a potential of "saving" him (a Madonna), but her attraction to danger makes her a "whore".
