Narcissists and otherwise manipulative, toxic people can be of any gender, and female narcissists and psychopaths certainly exist. However, women in general tend to be more socialized to seek out romantic relationships at the expense of their own well-being, taught to value relationship status over their own mental health, which is why they usually need to deprogram harmful beliefs before pursuing a healthy partner.
