Question:
Feminists: when it comes to stopping violence against women shouldn't your enemies be male sociopaths?

Instead of men in general. I mean one of the main traits of rapists in particular and abusers is poor impulse control, which can also be a symptom of other conditions like AD/HD etc....... So shouldn't you really be targeting a specific group, or at least telling men to stop these potential rapists from acting out.

This is the diagnostic criterion for sociopathy (anti-social personality disorder)

1. Persistent lying or stealing
2. Recurring difficulties with the law
3. Tendency to violate the rights and boundaries of others (property, physical, sexual, emotional, legal)
4. Substance abuse
5. Aggressive, often violent behavior; prone to getting involved in fights
6. A persistent agitated or depressed feeling (dysphoria)
7. Inability to tolerate boredom
8. Disregard for the safety of self or others
9. A childhood diagnosis of conduct disorders - this is not a symptom but "a history of"
10. Lack of remorse, related to hurting others
11. Superficial charm
12. Impulsiveness
13. A sense of extreme entitlement
14. Inability to make or keep friends
15. Recklessness, impulsivity
16. People with a diagnosis of antisocial personality disorder often experience difficulties with authority figures
:
This is the diagnostic criteria for psychopathy:

Factor1: Aggressive narcissism
1. Glibness / superficial charm
2. Grandiose sense of self-worth
3. Pathological lying
4. Cunning / manipulative
5. Lack of remorse or guilt
6. Shallow
7. Callous / lack of empathy
8. Failure to accept responsibility for own actions
9. Promiscuous sexual behavior
Factor2: Socially deviant lifestyle
1. Need for stimulation / proneness to boredom
2. Parasitic lifestyle
3. Poor behavioral control
4. Lack of realistic, long-term goals
5. Impulsivity
6. Irresponsibility
7. Juvenile delinquency
8. Early behavior problems
9. Many short-term marital relationships
10. Revocation of conditional release
Traits not correlated with either factor
1. Many short-term marital relationships
2. Promiscuous sexual behavior
3. Criminal versatility

As you can see we might just be looking at a particular subgroup of the male population here.
Though another important thing here is alcohol, which disinhibits the mind so your subconscious fantasies become reality, which can the mind affect any male in the population.
Some men though are more likely to continuously abuse alcohol and drugs, combined with promiscuous behavior, as in the group above.
Also those with bipolar affective disorder like me can fall easily fall into these states of disinhibition, with or without alcohol.
I guess all you need is some sick rape fantasy that a lot of men have, a semi-conscious disinhibited state of mind, and promiscuous and impulsive behaviour.

What are your opinions on this?

That's a pretty f**ked up statement right there.



I don't like to think of anyone as my enemy. But I see what you are saying, however I do not target all men when it comes to violence. I don't believe in the punishment of one should be the punishment of all.

I know many good men who wouldn't hurt a flea. Ok, maybe they'd hurt a flea.



White Russian, anyone?

'i've got not yet seen a individual call for ending violence against adult males for despite reason.' i've got seen plenty, the two in this communicate board and in real life (the place I stay there are consistently calls to place an end to gang violence and supply up boys/adult males killing one yet another, as an occasion >>> projects often working into super sums of money) Regardless I agree that we would desire to consistently be focusing on combating violence finished supply up

Only extraordinarily unrealistic people view the entire male population as "enemies" when it comes to violence against women, but many men unintentionally practice behavior which enables violence by dehumanizing or objectifying women. Some women practice these same behaviors. The person practicing them is probably not going to end up practicing violence against women, but such behavior creates a society where it's more acceptable.



Also, another important issue is rape, which isn't just limited to sociopaths.



Love that movie, btw.

I'm not trying to be insulting, but if you feel that all feminists think men are the enemy, you may want to hang w/more feminists.



also, rape fantasies are neither sick or common among the male population. most females i know had to pull their man's arm to get him to play rough w/her.



thirdly, those with mental conditions that make them a danger to society, while still responsible for their actions, deserve treatment that will make them less of a danger.
