    That now makes me wonder what the distribution of psychopathy is over sex.

    I assume they’re independent and we’d have a “50:50” distribution.

    Not interested enough to actually go and find out though.

        TYVM!

        Until the 2000s, most research on psychopathy used male participants, assuming that the findings would transfer to females.

        Clinicians generally don’t expect females to be psychopaths, so they might [dis]miss key signs.

        Figures.

        From what I read psychopaths may manifest differently in women so a lot of them may go undiagnosed

          Sir, your wife is hysterical. As your doctor I prescribe medical vaginal stimulation.

          We’ve had a long history of just dismissing problems women suffer.

            And with psychiatry it’s really easy to dismiss mental illness as moral or character failings. I always thought I was a lazy piece of shit but I learned I have clinical depression and ADD.

              Hey! One can have clinic depression and ADHD and also be a lazy piece of shit. Don’t tell me what I can’t be!

        So we will only allow half the females to kill rapists? Is that how statistics works?
