Do you think that there are female psychopaths/sociopaths?

Why would it be gender specific?

Lizzie Borden took an axe
And gave her father forty whacks
And when she saw what she had done
She gave her mother forty one

Duh! It's alredy been proven. Don't you watch the news, read any papers lately. There have been several female sociopaths. It's just more common in men. Damn! I wish people will stop seeing females as these emotional, innocent thing. That's not always the fuckin' case!

RETARDED QUESTION!!!

Definitely. Literally 10 seconds Googling can find you some examples.

Yes, there are.

No! Its like saying only men can be pedophiles. which isn't true. Men and women are both capable of these things. Yet certain problems seem common more for one gender than the other. Mental illness can effect anyone not only men.

If you know anything about psychology you already know the answer. If not you are a sexist. OP is an idiot. We have had psychotic/sociopath women as well as women paedophiles. Can we have black chicks? Well we have them so I would think so. Really what the fuck kind of question is this?

Hilary Clinton

What? Yes, of course.

No, women are too nice for that shit.

There are. Its just less common for females, statistically anyway. Who knows who hasn't been caught. Women can be quite... Umm, a lot of things.

One word: feminists.

Aileen Wuornos.

Lisa Rowe from Girl Interrupted had Borderline Personality Disorder.

Watch that show deadly women. Yes, they can be females.

One is talking to you right now (aspd, almost the same thing but less extreme), infact i know a brother and sister that were both diagnosed as ASPD. Psychopathy is a fixed medical term you retard.

You can't have an "opinion" or "think" this or that about it.

There are BOTH male and female psychopaths.

Males, 3 in 50.

Females, 1 in 50.

Answer = alot more than you realise, everyone on IIN went to school with atleast a dozen psychopaths.

Duh, of course so.

Uh... yeah? I mean, why wouldn't there be? The male psychopaths/sociopaths just happen to get more media attention.

Yes, women can be those things. Although, I believe there are far more males that are sociopaths and/or psychopaths than females. Not sure if it has something to do with the male brain or just coinsidence.

Why wouldn't there be? I'm sorry but this is a pretty dumb/shit question.

Yes, and I have met clinically registered female sociopaths. While a sociopath is more likely to be male, there are enough female cases that I'd think it'd be common knowledge, you know?

Yes. There are a lot of socio/psychopath questions on here lately.

Yes, there are. I think male psychopaths are more common, because most serial killers were men. There was one notable serial killer who was a woman. She killed a bunch of men, and I think she was a lesbian. I've seen her prison interview on YouTube...she's scary.

Yes, but male ones are more common. Females tend to be more socially oriented thus less likely to snap completely. Only by a small, but a noticeable margin, though.

The question is, why wouldn't there be female psychopaths/sociopaths?
