Why are most people who are possessed by demons are women?

[LinkxPeach]

Usually, when I watched an exorcist movie, or movie trailer. Most of the people who are possessed by demons are women.

Probably too juxtapose the horrifying nature of the demon with the image of an innocent, harmless and sympathetic young girl. Same reason why children's toys are also often used. Nobody would be surprised by hideous monster suddenly transforming into a hideous monster.

That said, check out The Rite (2011) with Anthony Hopkins. Pretty okay movie, ironically most well-received by Catholics who thought it represented their faith well.

It goes back to Eve. Women are very easily misled. Satan is a deceiver and since women lack logic all you have to is a good liar. And there's no greater liar than the devil.

I would say most vulnerable.
