: : Does any one know of a phase for the male equivalent of a 'Bunny Boiler'? Thanks.

: Weirdly, I'm not sure there is one. I think we just call them stalkers.

I agree. The word "stalker" conjures up a man.

There probably is a male equivalent to bunny boiler (see below) but I can't call it up. Bluebeard is a serial wife murderer. But that's not the same thing.

Bunny boiler -- referring to the Glenn Close character who boils the pet bunny belonging to her ex- married lover's little girl.

Fatal Attraction -- The date movie of the late 1980s, this had everyone arguing in the aisles. Does Michael Douglas deserve the unwanted attention he and his family are receiving at the hands of loony stalker Glenn Close? After a weekend extramarital affair with colleague Close, he returns home to wife Anne Archer, and Close becomes progressively angrier. You might even say she is boiling bunny mad.
