"“It’s almost one to one,” Boddy said, although he noted large-scale studies of randomly chosen adults would be needed to get a more definitive picture."
@sickburnbro Bad wiring is bad wiring. The females are simply less evident because they lack the upper body strength and testosterone to do what male psychos do. They're just as prevalent
True danger results when a female and a male psychopath hook up with each other (see: Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka)
@TrevorGoodchild ironically, progressivism is so sure in itself in many ways, but totally unable to kill people who obviously make society worse.
They can't tell the line between "this person had a bad childhood, so we need to be nice" and "I don't give a fuck what kind of childhood this person had, other people that had bad childhoods didn't murder 10 people"
@sickburnbro Indeed, the leftoids need those kinds of "people" (subhuman dregs) as a plausibly deniable pool of shock troopers to terrorize normie civilians when needed (see: antifags and anarcho-tyranny in general)
In a properly ordered society that simply hangs criminals until it runs out of them, the pool of crash test dummies for leftists to draw from is quite shallow
@alchemy@sickburnbro Great question. It seems that there is a variance in neuroarchitecture that creates the "predisposition" for psychopathy but the ones who break bad are the ones who had rough childhoods (these are also the ones who subsequently showed the stereotypical signs as children of torturing and killing animals and/or setting fires). Low IQ may also come into play, but not always. Ted Bundy was moderately high functioning.
I would estimate from, uh [TRUST ME BRO OK] that at least 20-25% of surgeons have strong psychopathic tendencies and in the ultrahigh risk fields (vascular surgery, cardiothoracic, ortho spine, neurosurgery) that percentage is much, much higher. These are still (mostly) non-criminal productive members of society with families and legitimate lives
For a man the advantage is obvious: you look fearless under pressure, you can make snap decisions, you can be charming at will.
For a woman I can see several advantages as well. You are even better at manipulating others than the average female, you can monkeybranch and upgrade at will with zero regrets, and you can always sex-bait a man into violently dealing with any "problems" in your life.
Best recent depiction of this: Linda Fiorentino in "The Last Seduction"
@TrevorGoodchild@sickburnbro how much is the bad wiring and how much is environmental factors/ learned behavior necessary in producing a psychopath. when i've looked into the neurobiology of it most of the studies were on low fuctioning individuals who were abused or impulsive. the highfunctioning phenotype seemed prevalent in high stress high risk industries. is the wiring a natural adaptation that can be channeled or are they broken? is there any adaptive benefit for a female with the trait
@TrevorGoodchild@alchemy yeah, I think the tendencies can be useful in isolation, which is why they still exist. Kind of like why sickle cell is still around.
@TrevorGoodchild@alchemy I wonder if the traits for female psychopathy are maybe what makes it easy for them to effectively manage a lot of kids ( instead of getting overwhelmed at 2 )
@TrevorGoodchild@sickburnbro definitely a positive for a man that can control it. it seems like the lack of empathy would result in a fitness hit for a woman in that childcare and bonding would be difficult. advantage to the individual but death to the breeding line. maybe high intelligence and extreme religiousity could save it.
@alchemy@sickburnbro This normally would not be an issue under patriarchy, where the woman (appropriately) doesn't get a say in the matter and has extensive family support
@sickburnbro@alchemy Interesting thought. Couples say that once they hit the third or fourth child they honestly felt LESS overwhelmed rather than with just a singleton. I've noticed that moms with 3-5 kids do a lot better, seem less frazzled
@TrevorGoodchild@alchemy yes, because most of them realize that you don't pour everything into a single one at that time, and you can step back a little and see them as little humans, ones that can and will make mistakes.
For women, it's important, because the default impulse is to protect against everything, and once they physically can't, it forces a new mindset.
@sickburnbro I can talk bit about female psychopaths. Before going any further here is my sister's resume of destruction:
1) On the day I was born, she wanted to kill me
2) During childhood she would routinely steal money from my parents and I. As a result, I would always had to constantly move my money around.
3) In her teen years she was vary manipulative of other teenage boys.
4) She lied to a man claiming she was on the pill. Her plan was to secure funding for the next 20+ years. She was so dumb and arrogant that even during the court hearing she even admitted to lying to the man to get knocked up. She honestly believed the judge would go along with her scheme only for him to grant the man in question his request to terminate parental rights.
5) She took part in a planned hit. Where her "friend" hired a hit man to have her BIL knocked off. And my sister planned everything out to where they would travel across state on the night of the hit to see me. Keep in mind, it is an 8 hr drive to where I lived. I informed her that I didn't want to see her. Yet my parents were ecstatic thinking that we were going to be on good terms. I told them both that this was just a ploy. It was only weeks latter, in the newspaper was her "friend" arrested for hiring an undercover cop to knock off her BIL.
6) During her teen years she would routinely target single moms with daughters to baby sit. However, her purpose wasn't to make money or learn parenting skills, she would diddle many of these little girls.
7) She engaged in homewrecking. In both cases she would manipulate the husband and wife to think that the other was cheating on the other spouse.
There is more I can list, but all too often people when they hear "psychopath" they think of some handsome man or gorgeous woman. Who is above intelligence. What that tells me is the person watched too many Hollywood movies. Where if my sister is any indication, psychopaths are fucking dumb and arrogant. They are so arrogant that they fail to realize that people engage in pattern recognition.
