Like, I don’t think I have to explain how perfect an analogy lycanthropy is for a period, so why is it that the only real films exploring that are Ginger Snaps and maybe Turning Red if you stretch the definition. I get that there are female werewolves in media but they’re usually side characters with little depth.
I’d also say werewolves are typically presented as a masc thing, like the whole juvenile “dogs are boys, cats are girls” presentation in a lot of media, but even that could lead to some interesting storytelling with typically masc characters having to go through a very fem experience.
Please, we cannot let the only deep exploration of lycanthropy and sexuality in mainstream media be Joannas botched attempts to make it an analogy for aids and then have a character attack and infect children. So I guess this is a stupid question and a call for requests.
Technically it would be called wifwolf or wifewolf, unless by fem-focused you mean femboy werewolf.
I have no answer I just wanted to throw a fun fact here.
But there might be some fanfictions about wifwolf, i did found an art of someone drawing or making digital art of wifwolf on tumblr

I disagree. Most people use the generic term for all genders in english, similar to other languages that may have a grammatical gender.
A Woman who is a Werewolf is a weird thing to need an extra word. It’s not like wolfs act in our gender norms and expression.
I think I knew that! Cos, like, it’s Saxon right, wyrman and wyfman, right?
As in the femboy becomes a… bear?
