- badrabbit 6y agoOr do the same thing. A scammer is a scammer, people don't become one because they lack options, it's because they don't care how they harm others to have what they want. Same goes for serial killers and murders and really nice people, it's not a gender thing. But if you meant her seductive skills, it was sexual in nature and did not work on women. I think these days, society is still unfairly biased against women that appear seductive or too sexual in politics/office, women have to walk a thin line of being attractice yet not threatening or "slutty". Either way, who knows. Maybe she wouldn't need seduction and she could be a successful hacker.
