The Female Sociopath

Why We're So Captivated By The Female Sociopath

Amy Dunne of Gone Girl, Lisbeth Salander of Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Cersei Lannister of Game of Thrones.

The answer has everything to do with corporate "feminists" and the way they teach women to "have it all." (Very mild spoilers ahead.)
