Dark Tetrad, Cluster B, and Patriarchy: A Data‑Driven Reality Check

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, Raven pauses the “everyone is a narc” trend and walks through what the research actually shows. Raven defines Cluster B disorders and the dark tetrad, looks at how common these traits are in the general population, and highlights where men and women differ in the data. Drawing on CDC reports and Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) surveys, Raven breaks down IPV rates for heterosexual, lesbian, gay, and bisexual people, and shows clearly that abuse happens in both different‑sex and same‑sex relationships. Raven then places Lundy Bancroft’s focus on men who abuse women next to current IPV and patriarchy research, which finds a consistent link between patriarchal structures and higher male‑on‑female violence, while still documenting female and queer perpetrators. The goal is simple. Less labeling, more psychological precision, grounded only in sourced data.Links:https://www.youtube.com/@the515podcasthttps://515fitnessinc.comhttps://www.tiktok.com/@515alchemyhttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61585497002747https://www.talesfromadivebar.com/ (Check out 515 on TFADB)
