Female psychopaths are more dangerous than male psychopaths, read more below:

"Throw the word “psychopath” into a conversation and almost everyone would think the person is male. Even research indicates that fewer women have psychopathy. Unfortunately, this is one time when statistics cannot be taken at face value. Scientists know that female psychopaths come with a special danger – their numbers are not lower because psychopathy prefers the Y-Chromosome. The girls are harder to spot.

While they are as superficially charming, manipulative and violent as their male counterparts, women have behavioral differences that double as camouflage. They are less likely to engage in the physical altercations that might expose them, and can also mimic emotions like fear, vulnerability, and love.

A brain study from Harvard supports the idea of a larger female psychopath population. It looked at two groups; those with the darker personality traits and those without. After discovering clear physical differences between the two, the study concluded that psychopaths are born and not made. Since it suggested the disorder resulted as a case of “nature” and not “nurture,” it could mean that psychopathy is equally distributed between the sexes.

As limited as research may be on the female side, there are signs to look out for. They can be jealous, deceitful, controlling and manipulative. Their nature also tends to show for the first time during their teenage years."
