This is the underbelly of what is really happening. I remember, from the age of 11 or so onwards, there were some seriously disturbed and deranged girls / women who were absolutely obnoxious bits of garbage. I grew up in very atypical surroundings, but even so, there was a real streak of nasty, viciuous sadism going on.

I think much of it was enabled because there were certain types of male who were interested and besotted by female violence committed against others. I suspect that it was some sort of sex -dynamic between those who were doing the bullying and those who were helping enforce it.

Admittedly, the toxic, schooling and then later, ‘therapeutic’ environment in which this took place put me in the orbit of some seriously disturbed, deranged ‘people’, but even so, there are echos of it in adult life. Senior men who get off on females bullying others and who reward them for it in some way or another.

We just have to admit that the capacity for evil is infinite in the “human soul”, and insulate ourselves accordingly.

I don’t like having to live as a hermit though, just to shield myself from the sex-dynamics of pleasure-seeking psychopathis who dominate society.
