If somebody wrote about one of the girls being sadistically tortured, there'd be an outcry.

Well, apart from *three* torture scenes involving women I can think of in the series offhand (Cally in SLD, Jenna in Horizon, Kasabi in PP), not to mention that wall scene (RoD), there's an awful lot of fic involving Servalan torture.

May I add, Dayna, Animals; not to mention Dayna's sister in Aftermath.
