    If women helped each other kill their rapists, the world would be a better place real soon.

      That sounds like a good idea until you remember that women are just as capable as men of being lying psychopaths.

        That now makes me wonder what the distribution of psychopathy is over sex.

        I assume they’re independent and we’d have a “50:50” distribution.

        Not interested enough to actually go and find out though.

            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.

        Just give them guns. I mean, guns are primitive by today’s measure to manufacture. A sufficient in scale production would make them cheap.

        Though arming everybody in India would mean at least one gun for every teen and adult in 1.4bln population, and also ammo.

      Yeah. Unfortunately a lot of women find ways to justify their abuse or even worse, get off on it.

      So long as we breed for greed, the default for humanity is going to be a shitbag.

        It sounds like you may have read somewhere that rape victims sometimes reenact their rape with their partners and concluded that therefore they must like being raped.

        You couldn’t be further from the truth.

        For your information, they don’t do it because they enjoyed their rape so much, they do it because it helps them work through what happened to them with a partner they trust and where they have complete control over the situation and the outcome unlike what happened to them prior.

          Lol, what? You literally just assumed something, then argued against it as though it was fact.

          Well, you’re wrong on the first one. I don’t think the rest of your explanation is relevant.
