Whenever I hear about a bastard child, it’s always a son. In both history and fiction, I can’t think of a single instance of a woman born out of wedlock being referred to as a bastard. Why are all the bastards men? Where are all the bastardesses?

Can girls be bastards?
Margaret Thatcher was a huge bastard. I’m sure there are other examples.
