How can female sociopaths be depicted in a feminist way?

I've just been thinking about how feminists often criticize depictions of women doing things like lying about rape and exploiting societal obligations. Now, this is something real sociopaths do. Dr. Robert 토끼 thinks that due to gender roles, psychologists have been reluctant to diagnose women as having Antisocial Personality Disorder (sociopathy) but that there are just as many sociopathic women as men, who just get misdiagnosed as having Narcissistic Personality Disorder 또는 Borderline Personality Disorder. He also appreciates a lot of these depictions feminists typically complain about because they warn people about female sociopaths.

I think as feminists, we should recognize female sociopathy and encourage its accurate depiction, but have this be done so in a feminist way. I'm just not sure how to do that given that there are these bad stereotypes about women that are based on the behavior of sociopaths. I'm thinking as two main conditions, have it that the sociopath is definitely a sociopath and not just a disturbed woman with a good side deep down (as with Siobhan in Ringer), and not have the character devoted to a man (as with Yuno in Future Diary, seen in the image) with a distinction made for accurate selfish obsession with acquiring someone as a possession and not truly caring about him. What do 당신 folks think?

I believe that the best way to do this is to abandon the whole "equal but different" mentality. This is to say that feminity and masculinity are different, not men and women. 의해 doing so, not only would women be taken seriously as potentially great leaders and such, but as sociopaths and degenerates of society. 의해 doing so, treatment between men and women- from opportunities to punishments- would be fairer. If we are to say that fem. and mas. are different, not men and women- then fem. and mas. can be seen as personality traits and whether a person is born with a dick 또는 a cunt has nothing to do with that person's indivisual capabilities to build 또는 destroy society.
