Good article. Rush Limbaugh used to talk about "the Oprah-fication of our society," meaning that large numbers of women in positions of authority has led to a society based more on feelings than rigid, objective common sense. Sparta and Rome did not have these problems, and they lasted far longer than our Republic has to this point.
Few people want to utter these glaring and unpopular ideas, so I'll do it for them. Until strong men throw off the charges of "toxic masculinity" and embrace those traits again, and reassert themselves in the public square, America will never again achieve greatness.
The short answer is that narcissists, sociopaths and psychopaths (the difference is really only in degree and in how violent they're willing to get) have no empathy and therefore no conscience.
They can be very charming and and highly charismatic - think Bill Clinton and Hollywood stars - but they only see other human beings as things to be used.
They will keep you around only as long as you are useful to them, even if you are their employee or their spouse or their child or their parent.
Once you're more trouble than you're worth, they will start ignoring you and criticising you until sooner or later they discard you. They'll fire you, divorce you, cut you out of their lives and leave you with nothing - and never give it a second thought, while you pick up the pieces of your wrecked life in shock.
If you know someone who is often described as a "terrible person" or "cold-blooded" or a "snake," you're dealing with a narcissist/sociopath/psychopath. A person who has no conscience.

Didn’t someone post a quick guide for recognizing and dealing with sociopaths and psychopaths a few days back?
