Hybristophilia: What attracts Women to Horrifying, Psychopathic Criminals
http://www.vagabomb.com/Hybristophilia/

I wonder what the etymology of "hybrist" is.

Greek - meaning "insolence" and the like.

In English usually "hubris" but "hubrist" is rare or non-existent.

Seems to have something to do with "hubris" - excessive pride and
arrogance.

I have not idea how this relates to the sexual attraction to
individuals who have committed gruesome crimes.

It's all explained in Wikipedia.
Google "hybristophilia" for more info.

The overweening insolence that offends the gods.

Probably directly from Greek. The root is "hubris" as you say, but the
OP word is from "hubristes": "a violent, wanton, insolent, licentious
man".

Or "hubrizein", as in Rey's Wp reference. Damn.

The meaning of "hybris" (as I prefer to spell it) is wider than that
in Greek, and can include physical violence.

I give it wide attitude. Is it a gene? Certainly Bonnie Parker and
Clyde, and if you are old enough to remember the USA in the 1950s,
Caril Ann Fugate and Charlie Starkweather. Charlie got the chair, and
Caril tried to lie her way out of it. She got life.

Even the woman on "Meet the Press" I quoted in this thread - an
attraction to "bad boys". I think it is fairly ubiquitous.

In Wisconsin. They went there to find out whether his support was holding in
the states whose swing was so surprising, and what they found was that in the
three -- MI, PA, and WI -- it wasn't.

More interesting is that he's way down in Arizona, Georgia, and Texas. In only
three states -- MT, WV, and WY -- is his support increased, because he's fooled
them into thinking he's increasing mining jobs.

You might have mentioned that no one else they talked to shared her view.

Well, yeah, I saw that about the states and was pleasantly surprised,
but my comment was in regard to this particular thread about
"hybristophilia".

As I said elsewhere, I give the definition a wide berth, and I include
this woman's infatuation with the gangster, Conning Donnie. To
believe in a God that installs candidates in political office for a
reason has to be pathological.

When Conning Donnie realized that he needed the evangelical vote, he
suddenly found Jesus and religion. I have to wonder. Do evangelicals
realize that he is lying, or are they really that stupid?

The lies and duplicity are too obvious.

Are they "pretending"? Are Trump supporters "pretending"?

I get the impression that Trump supporters among lower-income parts of
society are not pretending. I've wondered whether they rationalise his
lying on the basis that the "political establishment are all liars" and
that Trump has to out-lie them: fight lies with lies.

Of course if he doesn't achieve what he promised for them some will
blame him and some will blame the establishment.

For some "evangelicals" political power is more important than theology,
and for some, if one has "been saved" (perhaps by simple repetition of
the "sinner's prayer"), (s)he is my Christian sister/brother, and it's
not my place to judge her/him on the grounds of behavior -- not if God
has put her/him in such a position of power.

For some of my theologically and politically conservative (but not
"evangelical" as that is commonly understood) friends, it was a case of
considering Hillary to be even worse. Some might well have voted for a
better Democratic Party candidate. Some of my fellow church members do
still have Sanders bumper stickers on their cars; If I were a US
citizen, I would have voted for him.

I thought to myself that they are "simple folks", well, at least some
of them are. Others are clever and devious operators. They blame
liberals for all of society's ills and pointing out that public policy
is best not based on magical thinking.

As I pointed out to a few on Facebook recently, the Jesus that
Americans worship is from the U.S. middle east - about Kentucky. Not
Christ the "Yeshu" - but Jesus the yahoo.

The neighborhood in which I live is inhabited mostly by Republicans. I
can say this with assurance because I've lived her for several decades
and seen the voting results for the Precinct. The Precinct includes a
larger area than just my neighborhood, but it's a good indication.
Also, over the years, I've seen what yard signs people put out at
election time.

It's not a neighborhood that I suspect has many evangelicals, but
evangelicals are not the only conservative Republicans.

Two neighbors who are in close proximity had TRUMP stickers on their
bumpers until recently. Both have removed the TRUMP stickers. I
suspect they are still Republican voters, but Trump has not set well
with them. I wouldn't be surprised to see the stickers replaced with
PENCE stickers indicating that they want to see a Republican in the
White House but not the current part-time resident.

Trump has been a Christian, of some sort, all his life as described
here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump#Religion

However, one thing that says does not match conventional Christianity:

Trump receives Holy Communion, but he has said that he does not ask
God for forgiveness. He stated: "I think if I do something wrong, I
just try and make it right. I don't bring God into that picture."

"Trump is unique among modern American presidents for his seeming lack
of deep religious orientation. He doesn't have a hometown church, and
a months-long examination of the congregations he had ties to
throughout his life found no evidence that Trump put down permanent
roots in any of them. Congregants at his childhood church in Queens
say Trump might not be welcome there today. The midtown Manhattan
church he attended later in life has denied that he is a member there,
and the son of its famous pastor, Norman Vincent Peale, has denounced
Trump."

"To Johnston, who along with O'Connor sought the meeting with Trump,
his brief encounter with the incoming president underscored Trump's
tenuous attachment to organized religion and his Christian
upbringing."

At the other extreme, I've just been listening to a speech (National
Press Club address) by a policy analyst who says that the Trump
administration is more dysfunctional than it appears to be. You can't
get much more damning than that.

He did say one good thing about Trump: he's not implementing his
campaign promises.

Gross, honor cultures in general look like animals to me. I've learned through experience and escaping a domestically violent cicle of family and friends that murder of women, stalking of women, community violence by abusive men in housing, on-the-job bashing, killing of pets is "normal". People feel they have a good repuation allowing violence at women to continue. I learned through reading that 70% of the world lives (stupid) as honor culture, patriarchal, submissive and will take a beating and root for the poor victim: the man accused of abuse.

i've learned this in my life through escaping religion, escaping murderers in my circle of 'friends', escaping rapists.

Women will bend over and bark for dogs like pervs and kill their best friend. It happened to me, I lost friends to suicide from religious honor killing and saw that the majority has an urge to please a loser who beats, rapes and abuses.

I lost all interest in abusive men after a nervous breakdown in my mid-twenties. I had total recall of child abuse, total recall of child rape, total recall of evertying. I had to push people out of my life for good and continue down a dangerous path where idiotic women went home to men who had sodomized children and killed pets. I had bobby pins put in my food on the job. I had my animal killed (pet) by a janitor with problems. i watched idiotic, sleazebag women saunter around (as though "it's normal" and "acceptable" to go home with a pervert) with men out of prison bashing me.

I got used to this and accepted this 70/30 divide as a reality. People find pleasure in torture of women and in people-pleasing men who abuse. The trouble with me is - I AM NOT CAPABLE of IT! I have lost all interest. They're so unattractive to me I don't think I'm straight anymore.

A man who tortures helpless children, animals, and women (or a woman lazy and greedy enough to "stand by her man" or religious enough) isn't a human being to me. IT LITERALLY looks like something that crawled from the sewer that carries disease.

Yuck.

Hybristophiles repulse me. They (generally)_ tend to be as abusive to women as the men they stick with, if not more so. I have fingernail marks in my cheek (as a scar) to remember these gold-digging pieces of shit by.

Not even remotely human to me.

A STARK examplefrom the rittenhouse.case. a child-sex-abuser had served out his sentence. He had very little economic prospects, he had abused his girlfriend who had to get a restraining order on him. She is quite pretty and attractive - but she loved him to the end.

Only the person knows for sure what they are fantasizing about. But, if i'm not mistaken, money (awarded in court) follows being groped, so can you blame these ladies? Women don't spend half-a-life time in school sitting around government buildings bullcrapping just so they can remain poor as church mice. They know the right places and times to conspire to receive a few dollars.
