Narcissism is actually on the rise among both sexes and not just among lonely immature "misogynist" guys. Read somewhere and also noticed in real life that it's very common especially among career driven professionals and other established and productive members of society.

I dont think most men are really misogynists they just wont tolerate bratty behavior. Anytime a woman is called out on her behavior by a man all the sudden he is a misogynist.

Oh, I don't agree, but there an important distinction here.

Calling out a woman on her bratty behavior (if it is) is perfectly fine.

Calling out all women based on an individual's or a few women's bratty behavior is a system of misogyny. That is what often occurs.

Women get defensive very easily if they feel like they are under scrutiny. And they can smell hate and negativity from a mile away. Actually sometimes their slurs are called for. Many women have been objectified and sexually harrassed since the teens. They are just so tired of the constant sexual picking on forums and real life. That said, some women do throw out the words misogynist, creep, impotent, loser and perv also on humble non self centered males with sincere and warm intentions.

Why do you assume no one wouldn't believe you?

I don't think you can just choose and become a sociopath/psychopath it's a condition you develop over a prolonged period of time. Abuse during your formative years is often a triggering factor.

That's why I said getting screwed too many times, its physiologically equivalent to abuse and can trigger becoming a sociopath for self preservation and maintaining some semblance of a quality of life. I agree you don't just decide one day to become a socio path, for me it happened over the course of a decade of dealing with being screwed over, now im a lot more hard core and kind of a d bag.

I am probably not a clinical sociopath but im more more of a dbag now than I was years ago. I either get what I want or I move on and counseling is quackery unless im getting what I want while the counseling is going on.
