The 'stereotype' of women being possessed moreso than men is because women can be 'bred' with evil. It's all in the mind, i.e. people think evil will GROW inside a woman, like 'evil spawn' ie. Rosemary's Baby.

Have you thought about which gender has been behind every major war in the history of the world? Have you thought about the gender of all the serial killers and rapists in prison and on death row? What do you mean...? It's men who are often more corruptable by power and deceipt. Ok, I promise I'm not a man-hater. I love them, but it does seem like the scale for that sort of thing tips in their direction.
And if you mean possession in the sense of demon possession, the most famous case on which The Exorcist was actually based on a little boy from Maryland.

Can you define an evil? Do u mean a sprite? Djinn? A free roaming soul? An evil thought? An evil habit? I suggest you should get your bearing right. Learn to ask the right question first.

First off, they are not being possessed by evil; women are simply more naturally in-tuned with the natural forces. These 'demonic possessions' are simply leftover rationalizations the church used to burn women at the stake on suspicion of witchcraft.

because boys defined evil, and they chose female characteristics as the root of evil. Women came first, men labeled them as evil second

That's just a myth. Boys are more evil than girls are.

I think men have traditionally thought of women as more evil because they have been seduced and enchanted by us, and we have made THEM think "evil" thoughts, so to speak, so they blamed it on us, rather than admit their own weaknesses and temptations. So throughout history we got a bad rep. Personally, I think men are more violent and vengeful, and women are more catty and spiteful at times, so we are equally flawed.
