Abstract

This essay analyzes the psychopathic (i.e., anti-social) currents within hegemonic social relations—deregulation, environmental devastation, militarization, and the like. The essay locates these currents within patriarchal norms. It also promotes feminist theory as a resource for assessing the psychopathic relations that these norms have produced.
