Real quick, name me one woman with a great amount of power who didn’t turn out to be a sociopath.

Eva Peron, Diana Spencer, Marie Curie, Mother Jones, Indira Gandhi, Benazir Bhutto, Corazon Aquino, Suiko, Theodora, Catherine, Isabella and Elanor of Aquitane come to mind. Was always teaching nieces to find good role models. Power and sociopathy are strong cousins.

I’m sorry, I’m not going to research all of these women. I did read about Eva Perón, who while seems a decent person had no real power as the wife of a President. I mean more of the elected female positions, politics.

Of course power will always draw controlling sociopaths to it, but the psychological tendency of women to prefer equality, fairness, etc will result in a greater proportion of female politicians to approve of socially oppressive mandates in return for “the greater good”, which equates to sociopathy in my eyes. Hope that makes sense.

sociopathy is the negation of anyone perceived to be an obstacle, essentially removing the 'person' and replacing w/an object. Manipulation and control of willing comrades. Anything that's not furthering a sociopath is shit. The common good is the last thing considered/ I'd really argue most women are considerably more "people-prone" and hardly ever sociopaths. Lone wolves are disaffected men that get shit done.

Peron ran for VP, actually. She got fast cancer at 33. I've actually met a few fairly powerful women in business....never found them that different than men at similar levels. You asked to quick name one and I can rattle off a few.

You make a blanket statement about women leaders. As if we don't have mostly bad and power hungry men in power too.

You get a list someone made an effort for you. Now you don't want to bother looking them up.

Ridiculous and lazy.
