Are you surprised to hear research indicates societal gender biases have obscured true nature and prevalence of female psychopaths?

The research indicates that societal gender biases have obscured the true nature and prevalence of female psychopaths, who often employ manipulation and seduction rather than violence to achieve their goals. - neurosciencenews.com/.../

Of course we knew this already, and zero of us are surprised by this revelation - https://youtu.be/JTu6rIues9Q?si=4uuJoFpfnBHWmtPi

Very Surprising! 🤯

Not surprising at all… 🥱

Actually no, Not surprising. One is much harder to measure so of course it is later found in studies.
Another excample of science being behind on studies concerning females and women compared to males And men.

Yeah so don’t fuck with us. Or else. 😈

[Dongie]

Yeah, I'm shaking.

I do not find it surprising at all, female psychopaths just do not act physically, their main tools are mental and social, like the bunny boiler in Fatal Attraction.

i was surprised but "isolated the key characteristics" is accurate for diagnosis, treatment, and avoidance, not just the physical threat.

Women run FROM psychopaths. The movies about this are called horror movies.


Men run TO psychopaths. The movies about this are called porn.

[SolitarySolace]

Wouldn’t men running to psychopaths by considered psychological horror or thriller movies?

[Flatmanlewis]

Perhaps but on its base level, as the linked article states, women tend to use their sexuality and feminine charms to manipulate their victims rather than the outright violence men use. I’ve grossly simplified my post in an attempt to be funny and witty. Not really a deeply rooted out reply.

[SolitarySolace]

Ah ok 😅

[normalice]

Always funny when a study comes out confirming common knowledge.

[QuickToAsk]

No I'm not surprised. This has always been a thing & sadly it always will be...

[OtterMan68]

Women are generally less violent than men and have been for thousands of years. That is changing somewhat if you every watch the commercials for Love & Hip Hop or Real Housewives...

I grew up in the 70s. I heard all about hot rotten the fearless men are. Gloria Steinem.

[RavVid]

No surprise at all.
