Well, let's see. I love Zelena, The Evil Queen, and Milah as characters and a character turned male or female wouldn't really make a difference to me.

Milah is pretty much coward Rumple with a dose of Malcolm.

Zelena is just crazy which anyone could be.

Regina was just an over the top witch queen that did terrible things.

I really just like their character and villainy and my mind wouldn 't change if they were different.

I mean, I think Rumple stirs more emotion out of me than any of the ladies. Regina's just crying over stopping her own happiness, while Rumple cries at his own faults.........what a minute!

Now, if you said this was a writing technique than sure. The reason why there are tons of female villains is that "cleavage".....not even going to explain that.

I still side with Milah because she was stuck in a patriarchal society and stuff. If she was a man none of that would have been an issue, lol, because she would just decide to move.

Rumple was taken out because he dwarfs everyone in terms of power. The Darkn  One is the greatest dark wizard in all the realms and Zelena was stopped and Regina had controlled the situation from their. I doubt Snow or anyone could do much anbout that.

Now, the writers do go overboard in pushing the limits of redemption, but I don't think it goes men vs women. It goes attractiveness and good acting vs not. Or rather marketable.

Regina going good is marketable with a lovely figure and beauty to match. Hoom is bad boy priate with charming good looks. Rumple is attractive, but not as much to the shallow...I mean young fanbase.

Rumple was more decent then both in season 3 a (and the best acting), but guess what is remebered? Regina's moment of sacrifice, Regina's moment of victory and the Adventures of Captain Swan. Sometimes the better moments, like the Snow and Charming sacrifice scene, Emma and Rumple watching Neal die, and Rumple's sacrifice goes unnoticed because MARKETING.

Now, personally, it wouldn't make a difference, but the show is focused on "Girl Power" and strong women, not a bunch of macho men. So, that also goes into affect the choices made. Remember that GIRL POWAH!
