Did she actually bathe in their blood? Wasn't that just an urban legend?

When I researched her I saw no proof of her bathing in blood. I'm pretty sure it's fake. The torturing was real, though. She usually had her workers torture women while she watched.
She used to lure in women who were poor and then had them tortured. No bathing.
 
Can you please link the post itself? I need it in my life

Can't remember what blog I actually found it on, so I went to the last poster's blog: https://inmh01.tumblr.com/post/189307522364/bad-tumblr-discourse-history-edition

People on Tumblr get so angry if you point out evil women in history. I once mentioned a couple of women who did evil things (Madame Delphine LaLaurie and Erzsebet Bathory) and I instantly got messages about how I hate women.
Which brings me to Tumblr defenses of evil women in history. I've seen people on Tumblr claim that evil men brought Erzsebet Bathory down because they couldn't stand to have a powerful female leader. Even though they did it because she killed hundreds of peasant women and tortured them.

They get angry, or, as the poster said, they get really defensive and either claim that A) they weren't nearly as bad as all that, it's just been exaggerated because of misogyny, B) it was all a lie, a grand conspiracy by the patterwhacky to "keep women down" throughout history, or C) Make excuses for the very same behavior that they would ruthlessly condemn a man for.
 
Since I'm already in the correct thread and I've already mentioned Erzsebet Bathory:

There are people defending Erzsebet Bathory and they're rewriting her history by claiming that she was framed and taken down because of patriarchy. She used to have women burned in cages and other horrible methods of torture but sure, she was framed and totally innocent. The truth is that she had a really insane family with a lot of messed up relatives so it's not surprising that Erzsebet Bathory ended up the way she was. The other truth is that it took ages to bring her down for her crimes because she was so powerful.

But she's a wamen. Wamen are incapable of wrongdoing because they have no agency. I am a feminist.

"Uhm, according to reasearch she wasn't brutally torturing and murdering hundreds of desperate young peasant girls, she was actually running a hospital! She was a strong, intelligent woman who was unjustly framed!"

*proceeds to not back that claim up in the slightest*

Why should we beleive you, again?

Ah yes. Her workers definitely lured tons of young girls (and one noble) to her hospital.
