Good topic, Kathy. If I may, allow me to add to this.
The psychosocial behavior of a bully is called a sociopath. A sociopath truly believes that whatever they do to harm another person is asked for.
Example: A rapist may pick a victim who wears a low cut dress. A sociopath never thinks that the problem is theirs but always the problem of the person being harmed. Defense attorneys often fight a case by exposing the victim’s social past hoping to turn the jury in their favor. That is one of the reasons rape is often not reported.
Our prisons and local jails are filled with rapists, murders, wife beaters etc.
I would guess that 50 to 75% of the people in prison, for violet crimes, are sociopaths.
Thanks for sharing, Kathy.
Your friend,
Joan
