More women may be psychopaths - this is good, sort of!

- More women may be psychopaths than previously thought, according to one expert, Dr Clive Boddy
The gist is, we have been using physical aggression and violence as one measure whilst assessing psychopathy. However, female aggression may be different.
I say it is good news because this helps us maintain focus on the character of the individuals who may be in positions of power, and avoids us making biased assumptions based on gender, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, accent etc.

I've known this for years, just through observation and lived experience. The "women are wonderful" bias has blinded society for centuries.
Thank you. I have always said that it is wrong to deify one group, or indeed individual, above others. Everyone is unique and everyone is flawed.
Same . I totally agree .
Thank you!
Especially when it comes to mean moms...
Sugar and Spice😅
The thing I find really funny (sad) about this is the level of ferocity that the narrative, that psychopathy in women is rare, is pushed academically. Showing that psychopathy is just as prevalent in women as it is in men destroys the angelic, all loving, all nurturing narrative that many laws are (and social beliefs) are predicated on.
I noticed this when I started learning about female murderers, most notably Karla Homolka. Psychoanalysts deemed Karla to NOT BE PSYCHOPATHIC because it would have given her a harsher sentence. This further burried the danger of these people and passed the threat onto an unsuspecting society.
It would be a relief if this was more openly studied as it would show a change in the ethos towards female infallibility and infinite benevolence; fostering a culture of truth instead of a culture of cover-ups
I read about this in no shiit magazine
Haha! No shit haha! I was raised by my mother, sister and my mothers nut job friends and I can thell you they are psycho and covert narcs acting nice when they're are actually cruel!
Ah yes I remember that issue. I was enthralled reading the other articles "Water is Wet" and "The Sky is Blue"
Awesome comments. 😅
I believe it mostly has to do with men's tendency not to complain about being victims. It's a stigma to admit to being weak and under control of a woman. At least, this is what I've noticed. Also, in general, men don't talk and express feelings as much as we do.
Thank you. Yes, I think there’s definitely a stigma about not complaining. And men (on average) don’t talk about or express their feelings in the same way; although they do talk and express, but differently, and unfortunately there aren’t always the opportunities to do so in a fashion that’s therapeutic for them.
Men face a few challenges from the female psycopath. For example they might drive you up the wall with abuse then accuse you of being agitated and unstable when you're annoyed and agitated by them. Best bet...head for the hills!
"Also, in general, men don't talk and express feelings as much as we do."
Men don't enjoy listening to womens countless whining all day. Its like listening to a child.
18:00 you describe the majority of successful politicians. Which confirms you are correct.
Thank You Sir for bringing this to light.
Our family has been dealing with a female Psychopath for years, she has stopped my childrens father from having any contact, with them,and now my grandchildren can’t even meet him.
It’s been mainly through Coercive Control that she has managed to keep my ex from having a relationship with his kids. It’s devastating for them, heart- breaking 💔 to say the least, but of course they know, the Psychopath knows exactly what they are doing, for they are Sadistic, and dangerous. Thank You again, I feel there is a huge gender bias, and that has been the problem for far to long,saying only men
Coercively Control etc
this definitely is not true, there are lots of men left without help because of this mistake. The family realising the danger, to the loved one doesn’t know how help him, with app’s these days that can be be used on mobile phones to track a person in this sort
of relationship they are virtually a hostage, sad but true. This situation needs attention, that’s for sure. Please keep up the Good Work! It’s is very much appreciated. Kind regards & God Bless
Thank you for sharing this. I am so very sorry to hear about this desperately sad situation.
I have been together with such monster for 10 years. Very dangerous. Run if you can. Don’t become a meal for the black widow
I’m sorry to hear that.
Cluster b women have been categorized as bpd. It's been known for awhile.
Disordered women will use whatever social dynamics they can. They're manipulative and very, very subtle about it.
Thank you for sharing!
They slowly, slowly, patiently, slowly make you express disregulation. Then they shame you and shrink from you.
@@mrsherwood2599 Unfortunately that is the modus operandi of many. Often Machiavellian and Narcissistic types too. And of course, it can be both men and women. One of the challenges is that those who seek to do this are often very adept at appearing very nice and charming.
In the real world its even men and women
Thank you. I suspect that that is the case. Or thereabouts.
Thank you for your observations. I don’t think it’s rare.
i agree, same number of female ones. As with sociopaths, I believe there are more women than men in that character
They're a vigilant sort. They give it away when after a drink they tell you that they think you're a stalker when you're just not the type.
TONGUES AS SHARP AS ANY TWO EDGED SWORD!! WOMEN PSYCHOPATHS MAKE BETTER CEO'S AS DOES THE COMPANY! WOMEN USE DECEIVING AND CONNIVING AS MEN HAVE DRIVEN US TO THIS , LIKE IT ???? I LOVE IT !!
In academic circles it is a generally known fact that studies of female history, conditions, experiences etc has been at a deficit for centuries.
IMO, there has been female psychopaths and sociopaths probably as much as the male group. Its just that they were never considered worthy of being studied or observed because all the assessment methods and tools are based on seeking male gender-specific traits etc.
But you just need to look at how pain has been quantified and measured, to ascertain that there was/is a disparate treatment towards, and obvious lack of attention or knowledge of female issues in comparison to male matters. For example, there are very few studies on female pain management, most of our pain treatments are based on studies that experimented on males which means there is a chasm between knowledge of, and implementing correct and appropriate forms of treatment.
I think its fantastic that studies/research and people in general are taking females seriously now - in that we are as flawed as males and there are just as many female reprobates as there are male counterparts.
I'd argue the women outnumber on sociopathy big time
Reason:
If society doesn't straight up lets them get away with things
They get far shorter and less extreme sentences for the same crimes, despite being MORE calculating
Simply because of the fact society lets them get away with it, means less are deterred and dare i say incentivzed
Woman get to start some shit, and take half their shit as a reward for their insanity
Women lie about victmhood WAY more, not even a contest
And yoi have to be prettt fucking low to emotionally blackmail people like that
Lol ladies do it all the time, and no honest person would argue they are not manupulative
Perhaps not psych9pathy, but what sociopathy is concerned there's not even a contest here
Thank you very much for sharing that. Yes I think that females have been 'ignored' in many different ways. And that is very wrong. The next video will be about new research which (contrary to some studies) suggests that there are brain differences between males and females. And hopefully that understanding will inspire more research into exploring why some psychiatric issues are (on average) different between males and females, and that that will ultimately lead to more 'tailored to the individual' help.
@@YouLeadingYou you're welcome. I'm not clued on psychiatry matters but we (Masters Clinical Psychology student here) do have access to the same DSM-5 manual. There are differences, but we require more time and research of female conditions to develop both individual and standardized criteria for the diagnosis of mental disorders and so on.
I look forward to listening to more of your videos 😊
@@SalznPfeffer658 Thank you very much! To manage expectations - it won't all be directly psych related, and I intend to get more guests on to speak about a range of topics. All related to development, awareness raising, and (hopefully) thought provoking, as well as some thoughts about leadership. P.S. there is a fair overlap between clinical psych and psychiatry in my opinion. And it's great to hear that you are studying it! Very much required :)
Therapy is a study that is female-based, and the methods are deficient in helping males.
Psychopathy is a continuum. People who don't have it badly are commensurately less harmful.
@@jonb4722 Thank you. Yes I absolutely agree. There are differences between individuals, and because someone could be ‘labelled’ as a psychopath doesn’t mean that they would cause any harm whatsoever. They may in fact do a lot of good; for example keeping calm under pressure. It’s very important not to demonise. Those that do harm (irrespective of label) are the issue.
Interesting and what it ultimately boils down to is your point at the end I think…we want decent/good leaders in leadership and in our life not toxic individuals and these can be in any guise .. and certainly in work environment some form of assessment prior to and certainly a probation is essential as it may help filter out those individuals to a certain degree I think 🤔 thank you 🙏 for sharing
Thanks! Yes, exactly that! We need to look at the character of individuals, not how they look or sound. Very important 🙏🙏🙏
I decided at 13 yrs old that I never wanted to get Married. Both my Parents were Narcissists and I never forgot their Terrible arguments !!! I'm 70 years old now and I am retired. I have my own place and my 2 Dogs. I think Women are Narcissists at the Least.
But none of them got me !!!
Thank you for your comment. I can’t say that I think women are narcissists as a generalisation, but there’s certainly often an overlap between narcissism and psychopathic traits. As far as having two dogs, well many humans could learn a lot from our canine cousins. Their unconditional love and ability to seize the day makes them exceptional companions🙏
One of the signs of a functional society is that it does not allow psychopaths into high political office.
@@jonb4722 Thank you for your comment. Yes, I think that a coherent selection and recruitment process, and ongoing development/accountability, are essential to have in place for any ‘leadership’ position. It could be argued that the greater the potential impact, the greater should be the scrutiny. And yet, in many situations, narcissism and low empathy appear to be on display. Not with everyone thank goodness. And yes definitely for a society to be functioning well, its members should pay attention to the morality and ethics on display from potential and incumbent leaders and both expect and demand honesty and transparency.
Excellent video!
Thank you very much.
Why this fits so much with how the Vtubers themself act since most of the yabs came from girls / women to begin with.........
CRIMINALS CRIMINALS !!!!!
AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID
religious... a kind of psychosis.
Narcissists and psychopaths wear all types of masks. Religion is one of them. It doesn't protect them, though, as they will definitely end up in hell.
Imagine if Trump or Hitler or Putin would have been prevented from running for office
Imagine if Biden was prevented from running. I wonder if we wouldn’t be in such a mess right now. 🤔
Make "You Tube" great again
I think positioning Trump who during his presidencty saved world from war for which was pushed by Korea hard in first years , ( he send then marine power to far east on one side and talked in Singapore to leders of far east, with Putin too was undertaking lot of other actions which resulted in whole world in peace for next years up to 2022) with Hitler and Putin is a sign of psychical no coherence.
Another fault is that Germans had no reason for cherishing Hitler who wasn't personaly any attractive as Hollywood actors but they were in love with his ideas of being "uber rmansches". Anybody (psychpopats are easy to find and are very convincing for masses ) who would offer it to Germans would be capable to copy it.
I wish . 😊
@Seekwithintheheart lolol out the other side of a global pandemic and NOW "we're in a mess". 🤡
No Shi& Sherlock
Women's morality is situational. Ask a woman a moral question and she'll usually give a pragmatic answer.
Thank you for your comment. I suspect that morality is situational for more people than many realise. And to presume that a woman would not be just as prone to such moral vagaries as a man, is probably quite naive.
