Historically we found that female sociopaths, being much more neurotic and hysterical than men, were apt to be characterised as borderline rather than narcissistic. As a result of this, most of the narcissism literature from the twentieth century was developed with male subjects, one consequence of which is that female narcissism has been chronically un represented in the literature, underestimated in the population and misrecognised in the culture.

We simply lack cultural vernacular with which to identify and discuss this specific pathology when manifest in a typically feminine rather than masculine subject, and as such we both attribute the behavior of the most pathological women to all women, and we deny the reality of toxic & pathological female behavior. When combined with women’s tendency towards memetic desire & repetition, this becomes a feedback loop whereby the worst, most immoral and conscienceless women drag all women into a race for the bottom, effectively setting pathological norms for the entire cohort.

Where are my chefs and grill-masters at?

I'm looking at upgrading my outdoor kitchen with a combo grill that includes an offset smoker. I know combo grills are never the best at any of the things they do, but money and space are limited, so I've pretty much made peace with that being the best for my own situation.

Anyone a strong devotee of a particular model? I've got my own inclinations based on my independent research but I'd be happy to hear success or failure stories from anyone with a story to share.
