Do agree with this saying?

"Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned"

Info-
While many attribute the quote to William Shakespeare, it actually comes from a play called the "The Mourning Bride" (1697) by William Congreve. The complete quote is "Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned / Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned."

Yes, and here is a perfect example. My aunt went looking for her husband and caught him with another woman. She went to their home and proceeded to give away as many of his belongings as she could to neighbors, burned the rest in the drive way. Because she was the one with a job all the utilities were in her name. She had them all turned off, packed up and moved away with the washer and dryer.  * smile *

No, unless she's someone who belongs in jail/mental institutions. In today's society there's this thing called a retraining order. Just because a playwright or an observational comedian said something doesn't make it words of wisdom.

No. There's not much difference in the number of women vs number of men that react like that.

It could be. I've seen this time and time again on soap operas. Real life...mmm...maybe, not really in my witness.

My Mary told me a story of a crazy aunt of hers that had a no good lying cheating skunk of a husband. I think she caught him fooling around and took action. She made him a tuna fish sandwich and left it on the top of the car all day in the blazing summer sun. than the next day she served it to him. It almost killed him and put him in the hopital. I think she confessed she did it to kill him, and everyone knew the guy had it coming to him so the police told her to leave town and never come back. This was maybe ten years ago.

Not really. I think men and women can both get emotionally unbalanced over rejection. And I don't believe in hell.

No... there are several problems with it... first, Hell being a fictional place... second, inaccurate over-generalization ...

It sounds good, though. It's important not to confuse things as being accurate because they sound good.

Sometimes scorned can really bring out the character in a woman.

I can't wait to be a full-fledged woman. Then, I'll be a great example. Unless I get to marry someone very calm, that might do something to my disposition a little bit.

Yeah, but I think it should be revised for the present times: 'Hell doesn't have crap to compare to the psychosis of a dumped woman'.

I was trying to come up with a saying for that, like, 'There is nothing scarier than a mother protecting her young.'

I have a problem comparing a woman to hell; in my opinion a woman is more angelic than hellacious. It is true evoking the wrath of a woman will get you into hell, but hell is hell, women are angels

See, that's a generalization. Not every woman goes Medea on your ass when you piss her off.

Well yes, since Hell does not exist, it cannot be a match for a scorned woman...
