Psychopathy/Psychopathy and gender
 Psychopathy/Psychopathy and gender  (personality disorder, character disturbance)   | |
|---|---|
| If disguised as "caring" or "mothering", female styles are hard to detect. |
It is inconceivable to most people and the public at large that mothers may act cold and heartless toward their newborn infants. The logical mind of female psychopaths recognizes this cultural myth as weakness and seeks to exploit it. [1]
They play-act like caring mothers when in fact they do not feel anything or not much in general - at least no positive feelings like love or gratitude - while hurting their infants without conscience, empathy or remorse to make them dependent pawns in their own game and selfishly exploit them. The arena for female psychopathy is the perversion of motherhood and child raring. [2] [3] [4]
“For mothers, presenting the facade of ordinary, devoted maternal care provides an invaluable subterfuge for abuse.”
Anna Motz (2016) [5]
Munchausen by proxy mothers are an example for this behavior. [6] Female psychopathy is hidden from justice and detection because toddlers won't tell and the traumatizing effects [7] ensure that adult survivors won't tell either. This invincibility, power and control (over future generations) enforces the pathological grandiose self and contemptuous delight in getting away with it.
That is not to say that female forms are limited to women - gender identity is diffuse anyway in psychopathy [8] - i.e. Bill Gates presents himself as "caring" despite his track record of wracking havoc with Monsanto seeds (in India) and vaccines (in Africa).
The research of female psychopathic personalities has been avoided by psychologists, from Sigmund Freud to Robert Hare, probably because it touches on their own internal working models (IWM [9] ). Typical female aggressive styles (triangulation, ostracism, gossiping, indirect, well hidden forms) have been researched. [10] [11]
