"Come, you spirits

That tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here,

And fill me from the crown to the toe topful

Of direst cruelty!" (Macbeth, Act I Scene 5)

Not exactly what you asked for, but instructive nonetheless. Shakespeare suggested cruelty was unnatural in a woman, and to plot a murder beyond her capabilities without demonic help.

What maleness has become these days is nothing I would wish to see in myself or my friends. Nonbinary FTW.
