The statistics are there, if your comment is saying "that's not true" I'll block you. I don't have time for whiny idiots.
One of the most notorious female series killers, Aileen Wuornos literally killed men after being pushed to her breaking point by being raped and abused by men, go figure.
Well, that's an interesting question. I think that, to start with, we have to ask why people become serial killers. Is there a common thread? A lot of serial killers have, when interviewed, talk about their abusive childhoods. A lot have undergone severe physical (often sexual) abuse during very formative years. But many people, both men and women, undergo severe abuse, and don't become serial killers. Not all abused children become serial killers, and not all serial killers were abused. Still, the link is there.
I think that men are often conditioned by society to believe that being emotional is a show of weakness, and that violence is one of the only ways they have of expressing themselves, particularly if they're raised in already-abusive households. In those dysfunctional dynamics, girls are often socialized to be more subservient, while boys see models of behavior where men who inflict harm are 'powerful.' And once you've been hurt so severely in such a formative time, feeling powerful can be one of the most important things to a person. Even in healthy households, though, in western society there's traditionally more of an emphasis for women and girls to be empathetic and caring, and for men and boys to repress their feelings.
I also think that there's a particular subset of serial killer, men who are sexually gratified by women in pain, that are influenced by media, specifically porn. I'm not here to kink-shame anyone, and what consenting adults choose to do is none of my business, but the porn industry has capitalized on women in pain. And it's not just the internet, though that's made it much more available. There's been a lot of porn made where women and girls are in a lot of pain. There's no reciprocal market of the same size, and that's for a reason.
Society conditions men to believe that being 'macho' and 'strong' are signs of success, that it's okay to slap around a woman or to grope a stranger or to catcall. That that's power, and men should be powerful. Conversely, women are expected to be submissive and subservient to those desires. Neither role is healthy, for men or for women. But I think it contributes a lot to why we see very disturbed men use violence as an outlet more often than women.
I made a lot of generalizations in this post, and I'm not trying to make a blanket statement that applies in every situation. I just do think that these factors contribute in that they make certain conditions more or less likely.
I think it’s more why do people become serial killers? Is it a chemical imbalance in the brain? Different wiring? Mental disorders? Lack of empathy? Did their mother not love them enough? Psychological issues? There are a lot of questions. The most well known serial killers are from the US, because mainstream media tends to focus on it.
My guess as to why more men tend to be serial killers is because men tend to externalize things; they take their anger out on others/things. Look at how violent some sports are. Where as women internalize things we blame ourselves, some shut down and then when we can’t take it any longer we lash out.
probably... or should be a book on that subject from people who have studied such topic.
Testosterone driving them + damaged unstable emotions = dangerous?
hopeless men are really dangerous... what do they have to lose? I think they feel better hurting as many people as possible. truth is, a person who is driven from the "Bad emotional energies"... can and will do very bad things to others, and somewhat randomly. women tend to be more indirect, but can lash out as well.
Maybe we should focus on how to heal our damaged emotions... thank you Jesus!
they are kinda... caucasian as well... maybe thats only because where the studies or opportunity exists? lots of Africans killed Africans but not so sure that is tracked.
I was just in France, wonderful place. has some issues, but good people I met.
u there's a part (s) of the brain that works as the "brakes" and also as a 'valve"
this particular part (s) of the brain is a little tiny bit different in men, and it also works a little bit differently than in women, not completely different and not significantly different but just enough... and it is also more prone to fail in men than it does for women or to deteriorate way quicker
and then you also have environments which in general, tend to be more harsh towards the people who have these "faulty wires" than it is for the rest of us, so in general... men are more prone to just snap and develop these tendencies and then act upon on them without care or a lot less care
Good explanation.
You may be on to something, but you need more definition.
@Guardian45 yes allow me to correct something you did not define well at your comment
there is no such thing as "male hormones"
they're all human hormones, whether is testosterone, estrogen or progesterone... and couple others
perhaps, what you meant to say is the fact that yes, testosterone is the main and primary hormone in males, whoever is not the only one important and it is not only present in males
something important to note as well is that for balance of testosterone levels and assimilation, etcétera, males do need another form of "estrogen" hormones which are thought to be only female, well that is also a wrong belief
the lack of this so called "estrogen" like hormone and not being balanced with testosterone has also been found to cause some "deficiencies of character" like proper control on impulsiveness and violent urges
now, if you want scientific definitions I am no doctor so I will not pretend to be one and also, I won't use all that pretentious terminology that most people would not even understand or care to figure out
I kept my answer as simple as possible while still making some sense of overall idea... lmao
Thank you for the clarification.

If I were to guess, it's not that they're more predatory by nature. It's not that they're more emotional. I'd say it's how men express things that differs. I can't speak for others, but when I get upset, it becomes more inward focused than externally. In other words, my anger is directed at myself more than other people. Perhaps, if that's something that more girls than just myself experiences, then that could explain why we're less likely to externally direct into murder. Or it could mean that girls are more likely to resort to words than brute force.
Either way, I wonder if it has to do with culture and different expectations on women and men, or if it's an innate difference.
I didn't like ANY of your choices. I think this is a nature/nurture issue.
First, there are the male hormones, which are responsible for aggressive behavior in BOTH sexes, which are possibly out of whack in these psychopaths.
Secondly there may be a genetic sex connection. The fact that there are two Xs in females, may mitigate the risk of defects. For example, XYY males exhibit aggressive behavior. Or there may be some other sex genetic defect that makes males more likely to tend towards "psychopathic serial killerism".
Thirdly, there is the nurture theory. It is well-known that psychopaths are byproducts of child abuse, or familial tragedy, like alcoholism or substance abuse or other domestic violence, tragedy or cult behavior.
Basically, it's because men not only have a higher predisposition to violence, but also a higher predisposition to mental retardation. This is not a mean joke, serial killers have been consistently found to have a lower-medium IQ.
Oh I believe it... have you seen the majority of them? They look... unwashed.
According to criminal profiler Pat Brown, the issue isn't so much that there aren't serial killers of other races and sexes, but that the mainstream media prefers to focus on white men who kill — either in isolated incidents or as serial killers — because of their typical victims. Brown wrote in her book Killing for Sport: Inside the Minds of Serial Killers that white men often kill women of the same race.
So, in the eyes of the media, focusing on "All-American" white female victims is more prevalent. That theory makes sense, especially when you consider convicted killers such as Richard Ramirez. He gained national exposure for his killings, possibly because so many of his victims (though not all) were white women. Brown also wrote in her book that there has been over-reporting when it comes to white male killers because, as a whole, there is less focus on killers in urban areas where crime rates are higher overall.
Your all the fucking same
Race has no Role to play whether your a n** a Faggot a Karen
A Human So on and so forth your all the same Killers that pretend to be Victims somebody calls a Black guy a n** the black guy has killed people before therefor his life doesn’t matter being a n** is just a name your not actually a n** unless you believe that you are.
n** is just a word so if that pisses you off then You believe your a n** which gives you no right to be mad at others.
Somebody can’t Do or say something they don’t already want to say or do or believe.
Human race Has never been good Through all of time Humans continue to be assholes That destroy whoever isn’t convenient for them which makes you all worthy of death.
I didn't read anything you wrote.
Hey! Psychologist in utero here. Men tend to use physical aggression to solve their problems, while women use social aggression. Since women tend to be physically weaker and less inclined to physical aggression, there tend to be fewer murder committed by women.
I think the biggest factor is repression of emotions due to the toxic labeling of needing help as unmasculine. Testosterone also appears to be a double edged sword allowing either extremely social or extremely antisocial behavior depending on circumstances. The combination of the two leads to overt violence, and it doesn't help that many of these serial killers have been abused as children.
It appears to be linked to testosterone, which appears to make men more violent by nature, and to psychotic and sociopathic tendencies, which also seem to appear more often among males.
Some truth, but lacking.
Oh yeah blame it on the hormones and not Learning self control
@EarthRealm. Nurture is a major factor too.
Yeah Fuckers who Don’t Nurture themselves don’t Matter they walk around doing as they want not giving a shit who they Beat up or Kill or destroy.
Self control and learning how to use Master one’s brain is the only factor
@EarthRealm lmaoo
@Guardian45 I'm not discounting nurture. I'm simply reporting the MAIN SOURCE of the issue. Men have to be raised well, of course. But, OK, let's take one example I just learned about. STEVE McQUEEN! You might have heard of him.
Father abandoned his mother six months after she met him. Steve was born a bit later. She went through two marriages with two husbands who BEST Steve relentlessly before the age of 15. He was sent to live with an uncle who he loved dearly an gave him SOME example of what being a man could be. Also was sent to live with grandparents. This was on and off. Also was in a children's home for a short time. Seems his mother also had a drinking problem, if I recall correctly.
Finally he entered the Marines and seemed to like it there for his hitch. Used the GI Bill to take acting classes and found his true love. But was jailed for 30 days for stealing or some other minor mess. Could've been vagrancy.
When he finally started doing well on stage and in film he was combative with directors. He loved driving fast cars and motorcycles. Collected them too. Sure, McQueen lacked proper NURTURE, but collecting motorcycles and cars isn't about nurture. It's about thrills and thrill seeking behavior. He entered the Marines: not the Army, Navy or Air Force. Toughest force. Why?
I say testosterone. He'd learned self-control from his uncle and the military. But he liked LOSING it.
For the nurture part: When children don't know how valued and loved they are by their significant others: parents... (Why did his dad leave? Because mom was pregnant with him?) they'll have trouble their entire lives about their worth. They seek escape through thrills, criminal behavior, attention getting behavior, healthy or unhealthy...
I'm no psychologist, but I've read a bit about it. Done work on myself, encountered similar folk who are born males and asked questions about them through my own therapists. I'm reporting information I've garnered. But I am not the end all on the topic.
Sorry, they BEAT STEVE RELENTLESSLY...
Steve McQueen's life was interesting and his death was a GREAT tragedy!
@Guardian45 Guardian, I have a completely different view of him since I read his bio. Was watching a host of films he was in on TCM and never knew a thing about his background. It's amazing he survived his childhood at all and became what he did. His flaws appear to be the cracks in his personality from his woesome background. He was quite amazing in light of what he suffered. Rose above most of it.
Men are more violent by nurture, they’re not allowed to have close physical bonds with other men unless it’s like wrestling or piles after a sports win. They have more access to weapons. They’re also taught that others should take care of them, and if they’re not happy there’s someone to blame.
Well there's female serial killers who also had nefarious reasons.. But the most simplistic answer is... Testosterone.. It's the thing that drove men to build the world around us, the thing that gives us a higher sex drive, the higher levels of aggression also.. Mix that in with being mentally deranged, and that's the simplified explanation..
I'm not a psychologist, okay. I think that it's because men are conditioned to not acknowledge the fact that they have emotions. However since they are human and do experience emotions but choose to hide them in order to preserve their "manliness", they burst after a long time.
I really don't know 🤷
Could be many reasons. Men have to hold their emotions in. Men get bullied more. Men don't get enough mental help. There parents most like played a huge part in it. Divorce, girlfriend. Bring different. Life seems harder for men than it is for women. Hard to say. Maybe all unique problems. Women get away with more Things. They even get less time in jail. More poor men join gangs. Women get way more help than men. Heck most get away with beating their husbands. Men it's more physical , women is more mental. It's just crazy how our brains operate.
More psychosis in men than women. Plus an on average increase in strength of men over women. Coupled with an increase in sexual frustration among men; and repressed emotions expected by society.
Honestly, I don't look at serial killers by race or their plumbing. A quick google search will show the names of many female serial killers. One such person was Dana Sue Gray who killed a relative of a close friend. Yes, there are more males, but a little research does show females are doing it too.
Everyone knows women kill dude. But men do it way more.
Maybe because women are better at not getting caught. 🤔
Well women are pretty smart
My theory would be that women (ON AVERAGE, caps because I don't want some idiot telling ohhh but look that women put her baby in an oven) are less adept, or let me get the right word, less willing to engage in such violent activity, that's pretty much it, again ON AVERAGE, mess with a woman enough and she'll run away from you, mess with a man enough and he'll ruin your life, ON AVERAGE
Any evidence?
As a girl, it really depends. Half the time, I'll back off, the other half, I'll get even, but in a way that I'm capable of. Also, I have been known to be violent. However, I am very unlikely to be violent towards someone who hasn't done anything to myself or the people I care about. (And hasn't been a jerk.)
Just some insight.
It's down to the gender pay gap and lack of childcare facilities in the serial killer industry. Hopefully with modernisation and a more equality we'll see more women take up the profession.
Hopefully.
Actually serial killers are on the decline for both men and women
Men are more sexually dominant and a perversion of dominance is aggressive and sexual hate, a perversion of sexual reception is arrogance and hold digging, what is natural is corrupted and absorbed into the violent culture of damaged families.
They say more men occupy the fringes of the emotional and intellectual envelope than women. And they may be more likely to take risks.
Leading to more geniuses, more murderers, and more criminals than women.
Men on average are more aggressive. But that doesn't mean you should group men along with serial killers, or judge men for the actions of serial killers. While men are more aggressive on average, the vast, vast, vast majority of men don't do bad things like that.
That's not true😂, women are just better at it and don't get caught. If you had the horrifying true figures you'd fear women😁
You sound so fucking dumb it's scary.
I guess so
Lmao this is hilarious!
damn that's an interesting question, I'm curious now. but I'm gonna go ahead and guess, men have more traumatic childhoods? I'm probably wrong and I'm gonna do some research on it in a while but yeah.
For the same reason more men than women are CEOs, astronauts, explorers, great artists, and war criminals. Risk aversion has its price.
The REAL question, as Daryl Davis pointed out, is why they're overwhelmingly WHITE men.
Overwhelming Power dynamics. Some people get off Overwhelming others. We're not dealing with rock science here. We like to think evil as some odd unearthly thing. Occam's razor follows through with simplest solution.
I think it’s that men have more of a dominant side them women and they fit these type of crimes maybe? I don't know
Men commit about 85% of all murders. While women only commit 15%, if a woman does kill someone, there’s about a 50% chance it’s her husband.
There is far less media hype over female aggression because it tends to be less physical and have more excuses made for it.
And?
Check the stats for ANY violent crime--this isn't just about serial killers.
Also, it's pretty well known, so this isn't some mind-blowing new discovery.
I never said it was a new discovery lmfao
A chunk is the predatory nature of serial killers, plenty of female serial killers exist historically like the victorian baby farners and family killers then you have the monsters like Rose West
This wasn't about female serial killers. See the problem is guys like you, you can't take something negative being said about men so you have to immediately turn it around to women. Grow up.
Yes, Female serial killers exist, bit in FAR LOWER numbers in relation to males.
men receive less love
and if men do not get some type of love in their life
they know it means
NO ONE CARES ABOUT THEM
and if no one cares about them
WELL THEY WON'T CARE ABOUT ANYONE EITHER
Spoken like a true serial killer.
These are amateurs.
I would guess it's because of male ego? Never deny a man with funny mustache art school sir. Else bad thing happen.
Because women are physically weaker than men. Also more intelligent and appeal to vanity more than chopping up bodies or chaining victims up in a basement.
None of the above. I suppose it's the size and strength of men over women that allow them to gain an upper hand over women.
Are you slow? For someone to be able to murder multiple people, there has to be something wrong with their brain. If we go by your logic, every bodybuilder in the world would be serial killers.
@vendela actually no not really what he said makes sense. Not that all strong people are killers, but killers typically chose victims that are smaller and weaker than themselves, those that they could physically overpower without too much trouble.
@Subarugirl dude no shit. But that's not WHY people become serial killers. Smh
@vendela people become serial killers for all sorts of reasons... being in a position of power that makes it easier to facilitate that sure does help though... it would be pretty difficult to become a serial killer if you were a quadriplegic
Its true. Its also true that more women commit infanticide. I guess hormones and environment play a part as to what type of crimes we commit.
Funny 😁 I haven’t committed a crime in Years
That must mean I Don’t have hormones that I’m just a Body without Any sort of hormones grow up or don’t I would prefer you don’t grow up just because I like seeing you fuckers Fall over yourself
Punctuation, the more you know. 🌠🌈
Your a sadist
Men are genetically more prone to violence. We evolved this way.
Your answer choices show obvious bias and an unwillingness to hear logical reasoning. The actual answer is because women are often too physically weak to be a successful serial killer.
Lmaooo you sound so unintelligent. If that was the case then why aren't there more female serial killers killing females? See how your "logic" doesn't work?
You literally missed my whole point. Imagine being that retarded.
More men are psychopaths than women.
They can't take rejection very well
that's not true
Hahahahhaahahhahahahahahah
Abortion statistics say otherwise
WdaF?
Sadly you have a point.
Gender based aggression bell curve is your friend.
Yes, but why?
Testosterone is the answer.
Partially
Genetics. Nurture.
My male hatred meter is going off...
