‘Female narcissism is often misdiagnosed’: how science is finding women can have a dark streak too.

Our thanks to Nigel for this piece in The Guardian (international edition) from February 2025. He writes:

“For some reason this popped up from the Guardian originally published in the international edition in Feb.

‘Narcissistic women are abusing in ways that society allows,’ she argues. ‘They often leverage their femininity, present themselves as soft-spoken, but it is cunning; it’s premeditated. They may still lie, cheat and control others.

‘They ultimately tend to weaponise anything that society allows them to use,’ says Green. ‘This means they may be more successful using their children against their partner, or making false accusations of abuse, than physically threatening someone.’ “

Blimey, in the Gruaniad!”

UNITED STATES: ‘Just end him’: Group of 5th grade girls (10,11) accused of plotting to kill a boy at school.

Our thanks to Warren for this. He writes:

“Something tells me that this one won’t make it past the Netflix commissioners and thence to Starmer’s in-box, even though it actually happened, and wasn’t just the febrile product of a script-writer’s imagination.”

Alisha Lehmann’s Switzerland lose 7-1 to U15 boys side in Euro 2025 warm-up game

Our thanks to Graham for this. He writes:

“The U15 loss poses an interesting question: if youth age boys can convincingly beat the Swiss full senior women’s national side, should the under 15 boys receive equal pay with Lehmann, who reportedly earns a base salary of around £200,000 per year? “
