Feminist view of Kannagi statue

I was listening to "take it easy policy" song...In the song there is a line, we have Kannagi statue but not Seetha's (Kannagi silai than ingundu seethaiku kallal silaiyethu?) True Kannagi burnt Madurai for her husband. Seetha proved herself pure by going in to the fire. In a Malechaunistic society obviously they will order and make a statue of Kannagi only :p. She burnt Madhurai along with innocent kids and good human beings???
.
Another story Shiva's, Shiva will cut Ganesha's head in anger! What kind of god will kill a little boy out of sheer anger and just to prove his power? if there is any other inner meaning i really would like to know. In most of the stories bad guys get to see the god easily. Kamsa, Hiranya Kasibu....all Rakshashas they get killed by the god, whether killed or blessed they get to see the God easily. Good people has to do thapas for years like Pagiratha? Why?

Indra's story if i start I will go nuts..he is the one who made mistake and punishment is to Agalikai? and many more story can be read in Vinayagar puranam we just started and put a full stop immediately after few pages.
Swami vivekananda seems to be reasonable but Is bramacharya or all those things taught to  him can only be followed by Vivekananda cant it be followed by women, again women is degraded in the story here and there, I guess it was written by a guy. Whether in Mahabharata/Ramayana any story women's condition is pathetic, what they did is not even close to the punishment they got and in India woman have curfew, girl children are still raped in buses. Pathetic. I dont even know whether to continue saying sare jagan se aacha...Really?
