Content: One study found that the majority of female serial killers were middle to upper class, white and were highly educated. In addition, there’s another interesting difference between male and female psychopaths. Males tend to kill strangers, whereas females know their victims. In fact, two-thirds were related to them, with a third murdering their partner and just under half killing their own children. However, the reasons are very different. Where men kill for sex or rage, women kill for money. Different social norms
Typically, men earn more than women and hold higher positions of power than women. It is the norm in many western countries for women to rely on men to be the breadwinner. Therefore, it makes sense for women to covet these things. However, it is still not socially acceptable for men to earn less than women.
