Psychopaths exist across cultures and ethnic groups and at an estimated frequency of about 1 percent of the population for males and 0.3–0.7 percent for females. Some researchers challenge these numbers, citing bias toward male manifestations in diagnostic instruments and methods.

    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.

    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.
