Narcissists - specifically toward women

Are there narcissists that seem to only have no empathy and disdain women?

Or is this a whole different catagory of abuser?

I think my husband just feels like women are not valid human beings or worthy of his empathy. He seems to care about his male friends and his father when they have difficulties. His nephews, his sons.... or maybe they just require so little of their relationships with him that it is easy to seem to care.

No women.

???????

mom issues

My first husband was an N and hated his mother. My second husband was an N and felt neglected by his mother, she being an alcoholic. But when she wasnt drinking, she catered to his every need..still does! I think he needs a mommy because he is a child, yet hates himself for these needs, as was mentioned. (notice, both husband were N's?! LOL) I'm working on myself..haha!

Narcissists and women

Narcissists are misogynists - they hate women. Often this stems from childhood. They have a very strained relationship with their mother. Either she neglected him or suffocated him, but either way, the relationship is very damaged. Narcissists team up with women to ensure someone is present to cater to their needs and stroke their ego. That's it, that's the only reason. They see women as mere sources of narcissistic supply (i.e. attention and ego stroking). They are not interested in women and view men as superior. Narcissist are terrified of becoming intimate with a woman. They need a woman in their life to take care of them, but at the same time, they hate the fact that they must rely on her. This leads to a vicious cycle of neediness and self-contempt, which explains why they are so abusive to us. They ask themselves: "How can I be so dependent on this inferior woman?" They can't stand the fact that they need us so desperately and lash out at us as a result.

mommy issues

or they are UNNATURALLY CLOSE to their mothers... this is called COVERT INCEST http://www.covertincest.org Either way - the relationship with mom is WARPED. Deeply and seriously warped. Combine that misogyny with their actual brain dysfunction and damage, their emotional immaturity and their soul-less hollowness - it's EVIL. Don't feel sorry for them, lots of men had/ have mommy problems - and some of them ACTUALLY GET HELP FOR IT!!! Narcs won't because of their pathology they see themselves as normal (and often VEHEMENTLY DENY) their hatred of women.

woman haters

I know I shouldn't have done this (in retrospect..but I didn't know he was an N then) but toward the end of my "relationship" (ha!) with my 2nd N, there was a woman he was being deployed with who had a valuable piece of information that he didn't know about. She had predicted that his unit would be deployed 6 months earlier than he did and turned out she was right. And of course, being that I was about the marry the guy, news of his deployment earlier than expected was upsetting to me (though he couldn't understand why I'd be upset--eh, no empathy!) So, in my upset state and his unwillingness to recognize that I had a right to be upset, I taunted him. I knew (burried deep inside) that he didn't think women were equal to him or worth much. So I said to him "Seems she was right all along. Maybe she's smarter than you." And he got really mad and told me not to say that. I kept going and said "oh, can't a woman be smarter than you?" and he responded with "there's lots of people smarter than me. She's just not one of them." I knew even then that his substitution of "people" for "woman" was very revealing.
