Женская месть (название для ролика)

@mrrafe: Thank you for your thoughtful comment. (With apologies to Ms. Rubinstein, her answer - female revenge - explicitly refers to a revenge type allegedly particular to women.) Mikola usually prefers pithy expressions, so the jocular "hell knoweth" "does not have a snowball's chance in hell." We shall see.
I have conducted an informal poll of women in my life, and they regard the expression as benign and rather amusing.
@Mark: Thank you. This is a video title. Something provocative will attract more viewers. US audience has seen and understands this expression for what it is. I gave myself a five with a wink.

I don't see it as an issue personally. But there's something to be said about matching the register of the source.

Regarding Frank's suggestion that "woman's revenge" is no more PC than "hell hath no fury...", I agree both may be misogynistic but "woman's revenge" at least can be given the benefit of the doubt because it can be construed as meaning that women are tactically adept. "Hell hath no fury..", on the other hand, is reflexively perceived as an inflammatory insult to women nowadays because it belongs to an era when they were seen as inherently overemotional. Whatever humor may be derived from the expression (after it's been repeated for 300 years) is outweighed by the likelihood of offense. It's not worth putting the translator in the position of evoking hostility toward the producers of the video who didn't use the expression themselves.
