“Evil men are punished for their bad behavior to a far greater extent than evil

–“Evil men are punished for their bad behavior to a far greater extent than evil women are punished for their bad behavior. Both Machiavellian men and Machiavellian women exist, but men are held accountable more than women. We need to resolve the problem from both ends.”–@taylorburrowes

Yes you are correct. But men’s antisocial behavior is immediately dangerous and women’s antisocial beahvior is cumulatively harmful.

As far as I know I’ve done more work on this subect than anyone else past or present. And the only question that I simply can’t find a comfortable answer to is why do westerners in particular (W.E.I.R.D. culture) tolerate women’s antisocial behavior (undermining to sedition by social warfare), when other civilizations don’t. And when the Common Law did prohibit these behaviors prior to the constitutional era. Gossiping (undermining), and Shrilling (Karens), or anything that ‘disturbed the king’s peace’ by sewing discord was criminalized and we have some interesting records of punishment for it throughout the medieval period.

So women are only recently (since given the vote and entry into the work force) able to use politics and economics to scale their intutions. Yet these intuitions are the polar opposite of those that have made european civilization so disproportionately successful vs the rest. If not for women’s votes – or at least, single women’s votes – we would not have the crisis of the age.

Now, women’s behavior differs from men by a very simple set of variables that are rather obvious in differences in brain organization, neurochemistry, and behavior. Largely, the sexes evolved a division of labor in time, or what we call feminine empathizing in time vs masculine systematizing over time. This resulted in the feminine prey dominance in cognition and the masculine predator dominance in cognition. And together these resulted in masculine search for status and reproductive advantage by seeking responsibilty for private an common capital despite the risks of doing so, versus the feminine search for hyperconsumption, hypergamy, and irresponsibilty for common capital because of the risk involved in conflict and settlement of disputes over common capital.

Thats really the difference and that’s all of it. And that’s also what’s evidenced in sex differences in antisocial behavior, as well as sex differences in moral intution, and sex differences in political bias. Men for for maximizing individual responsibility and women vote for minimizing individual responsibility. For the reasons I’ve stated.

This only changes when women have three or more children, and then they carry the burden of the behavior of children the way men carry the burden of behavior of all of society – including the dangerous men.

It’s really that simple. 😉
