Do you think men are much more sociopathic then women?

[Anonymous]

men start wars, abandon their children for single moms to raise, join gangs, violence, make up the vast majority of criminals/rapists/ serial killers, men are also much more likely to hate on women online than women hate on men.

Pretty sure the science currently says that sociopathy technically is more prevalent in men, but like many fields, that may be due to underreporting/failure to diagnose female cases. So the actual answer is that we probably don't know.

I will say, at least culturally, men don't necessarily have the emotional support networks that women are pushed to form from a fairly young age, which can result in less positive mental health outcomes etc. So not necessarily sociopathy, and not necessarily inherent to the sex. It's also the case that there are many other factors involved in pretty much all of those examples, so it's hard to isolate out the concept of gendered sociopathy. (Ex. more single moms than dads because women are essentially biologically forced to take responsibly, more men in gangs do to gender roles, etc)

Basically what you're actually talking about is a set of crazy complicated issues that really can't be summed up as gendered prevalence of sociopathy, regardless of whether or not there even is a gendered prevalence in the first place.

No I think it's the opposite, I'm not denying men versions don't exist but I believe if we are going to compare quantity, in order to have sociopathic tendencies there has to be high levels of selfishness and even tho not all men or women are selfish, it seems that a lot of women have higher selfish tendencies, there's lots of men that are the same don't get me wrong but I believe what makes the difference is how both genders chase happiness, it seems that the difference is, many women teach each other to put their own happiness over everything and would throw away things that don't make them happy, even if it's a good partner, meanwhile for the most part men seek for happiness but are willing to put their own happiness if they feel what they must do is a responsibility, also women have a lot of power over a lot of men and they know it and a lot of times can take advantage of it so I believe sociopathy thrives more within women and I believe psychopathy thrives more in men.

I'm not saying all men and women fall in these categories but if we were to calculate the existing sociopaths and psychopaths I bet you this would be the pattern.

The answer is no it’s pretty equal. Very empathetic men and women as well as many dark personalities. Women can leave their children as well or even use them as pawns or weapons. When women get into positions of power they can go crazy as well. Women are also more likely to slowly poison someone over a long period of time then just outright kill someone.

So. To be honest. There’s good and evil of both sexes.

[Asker]

data actually shows psychopathy is way higher amongst men than women

[Summeroflove]

Women are also better at hiding it

[Summeroflove]

On average so there’s Thst

[Summeroflove]

So here we go…. More questions. Then people don’t like the answers so they argue. I don’t understand why if people think they know the answers why they even ask

Research has historically found that male psychopaths outnumber females by as much as six to one.

About 1.2% of U. S. adult men and 0.3% to 0.7% of U. S. adult women are considered to have clinically significant levels of psychopathic traits

[Summeroflove]

Then why did you ask the question? Do you need affirmation or validation to feel correct?

[Summeroflove]

Obviously if you know the answer. Why did you ask?

Some men are, most are not. Men have been responsible for the worst atrocities throughout history, and they have also been responsible for the greatest achievements. The modern world, both the good and the bad, was built by men. Unless you want to go back to the stone ages, stop complaining about the bad things men do without also acknowledging all the good they do. It just makes you sound like an idiot.

[Asker]

I'm not saying there are no good men. im just saying that men are much more likely to be sociopathic than women

[Opinion Owner]

No, you and I both know that was not the message you were trying to send. Your "question" was purely rhetorical. If you actually wanted to know the answer to your "question", just ask Google instead of parroting your anti-male, female-as-victim narrative on a public forum.

Do I need to point out the irony of you saying this? "... men are also much more likely to hate on women online"

[Do I need to point out the irony of you saying this? "... men are also much more likely to hate on women online"]

because it is true that men hate on women significantly more than vice versa.

"Research has historically found that male psychopaths outnumber females by as much as six to one."

Sooooooo... why did you ask the question on a public forum? The answer: hateful rhetoric.

Do I need to point out the irony of you saying this? "... men are also much more likely to hate on women online"]... because it is true that men hate on women significantly more than vice versa.

Again; rhetoric.

Did you have an actual question?

[Pohjolan]

Statistically it's pretty clear that they are.

However the other side of the coin is that female serial killers don't have a queue of suitors.

In some societies a young man had to kill a member of a competing tribe and consume human flesh to be even considered a potential mate.

[Shiprex]

Governments start wars and it's been shown more women leaders had more conflicts with worse death tolls throughout history. Not that facts and evidence get in the way of feminist misandry

[Shiprex]

It's interesting to note that emotional manipulation is a trait that is less obviously prevalent but KNOW it's almost an inherent trait for girls and women to exhibit but because it's not deemed serious enough (men's traits are aggression and anger) impact on others, men's traits APPEAR more prevalent because they're not reported.
Learned helplessness is another that women tend to utilise when things start to get tough for women. This gets put down as "weaker" therefore can't be expected to carry out.

[AngryCarl2]

No , women simply lack the resolve to bring their evil plans to fruition. They bitch about men plenty.

[SotiCoto]

Nope. I just reckon you don't know what sociopathy actually is.

[DrPepper12]

Yes. No doubt.

[Anonymous]

No. I don't.
