111. I can't prove it.

Because it was disclosed to me in confidence. But, do you really think the female gender is incapable of evil? I mean Mata Hari? Tokyo Rose? Susan Smith? Aileen Wuornos?

You can say that their numbers dwarf the number of depraved males, but that's a corollary to my point. When we attribute characteristics to groups, it can get used to the advantage of the diabolical. If women are generally perceived as gentle, nurturing, and good, it provides cover to those who aren't. I mean, Father Geoghan would never have done half what he did if he were not a priest. He would have been caught much earlier. Just that, in the 60s, we actually revered priests.

If you think my story is a myth, try and prove it. No more likely than the opposite. I trust my confidante. You don't have to. But to not admit the possibility is willful blindness.
