More women may be psychopaths than previously thought, says expert

Our thanks to Nigel for this piece – in The Guardian! It starts with this:

“When it comes to a typical psychopath, the suited and booted Patrick Bateman from the novel American Psycho might spring to mind, but, according to one expert, the number of women with the neuropsychiatric disorder could be far greater than previously thought.

Psychopaths are generally considered to lack empathy and guilt, exhibit antisocial behaviour, lie frequently and be ruthless, narcissistic and manipulative.”

BBC should be proud to be progressive, director general Tim Davie told staff

A piece in yesterday’s Telegraph. Hilariously, a BBC spokesman said “progressive” was meant “in relation to areas like market-led technological change” and that “any other interpretation is wrong”.

‘Love of my life’ was murdered on Valentine’s Day by monster he met on Facebook… his final texts to our kids haunt me

Our thanks to Emma for this. A nonsensical extract from a section highlighted in blue, “Male domestic abuse on the sise”, a little before halfway down:

“The Office for National Statistics figures show every year that one in the three victims of domestic abuse are male, equating to 699,000 men in 21/22 (1.671m women). [J4MB: The direct result of men being disinclined to report domestic abuse. This case is a case in point.]

One in six-seven men and one in four women will be a victim of domestic abuse in their lifetime. [J4MB: The direct result of men being disinclined to report domestic abuse.]

Of domestic abuse crimes recorded by the police, 25 per cent were committed against men. [J4MB: You can safely replace “committed against” with “reported by”.]

Only 4.7 per cent of victims of domestic abuse being supporting by local domestic services are men according to SafeLives data. [J4MB: All the photos and images of victims on SafeLives’s home page are of women. It rather makes a mockery of their claim to be gender-neutral, featuring only the sex which is more likely to report abuse.]”
