You seem to imply that particular brand of psychopathology (I haven't seen
the specific behaviour defined in the discussion so far, and you seem to
discrimiate it from the trivially different reproduction strategies in
both sexes) has genetic origins, and does not completely nuke the
individual's reputation if expressed and discovered.

Both assumptions are imo not very reasonable, unless backed up by actual
data. Anecdotally, pathologies seem to be based on a fluke, a frozen
chance occuring during development.
