Vampires and werewolves as a feminist allegory

Both vampires and werewolves are the result of biological attacks on the population. The first attack produces vampires, who tend to be women. It initiates a debilitating illness that forces them into a position of weakness. Later it is discovered that they have access to considerable power in this state, but only by preying on other people and drinking their blood.

To combat this power the vampires have discovered, a second attack is launched to produce werewolves, who tend to be men. This biological agent increases physical strength, but also increases violent tendencies. It is hoped that the werewolves will subdue the vampires and bring about the state of affairs the architects of these attacks originally intended.

I'm not quite sure how this situation will be resolved (if it even will be). Maybe there will be an all-out battle. Maybe the vampires and werewolves will realized that they're both victims and start cooperating. We'll have to wait and see.
