Jack the Ripper Had Female DNA

It seems entirely possible. Anyone can be a murderer.

From SMH.com.au:
In a bid to crack the identity of one of the greatest murder mysteries of all time, technology developed in Australia has tested 118-year-old DNA the notorious serial killer may have left behind and built a partial female profile.

Scientist Ian Findlay said the partial profile had been created from saliva possibly from the Ripper on the back of stamps on the envelopes of letters sent to London police.
I imagine the feminist crowd is rooting for confirmation that Jack was really a Jill. It would bolster the equality argument.

Uh ... I'll probably get static for that.
