      TYVM!

      Until the 2000s, most research on psychopathy used male participants, assuming that the findings would transfer to females.

      Clinicians generally don’t expect females to be psychopaths, so they might [dis]miss key signs.

      Figures.

      From what I read psychopaths may manifest differently in women so a lot of them may go undiagnosed

        Sir, your wife is hysterical. As your doctor I prescribe medical vaginal stimulation.

        We’ve had a long history of just dismissing problems women suffer.

          And with psychiatry it’s really easy to dismiss mental illness as moral or character failings. I always thought I was a lazy piece of shit but I learned I have clinical depression and ADD.

            Hey! One can have clinic depression and ADHD and also be a lazy piece of shit. Don’t tell me what I can’t be!
