You should check out Histrionic personality disorder

as a personality disorder characterized by a pattern of excessive attention-seeking emotions, usually beginning in early adulthood, including inappropriately seductive behavior and an excessive need for approval. Histrionic people are lively, dramatic, vivacious, enthusiastic, and flirtatious. HPD affects four times as many women as men.[1] It affects 2–3% of the general population and 10–15% in inpatient and outpatient mental health institutions.[2]

HPD lies in the dramatic cluster of personality disorders.[3] People with HPD have a high need for attention, make loud and inappropriate appearances, exaggerate their behaviors and emotions, and crave stimulation.[3] They may exhibit sexually provocative behavior, express strong emotions with an impressionistic style, and can be easily influenced by others. Associated features include egocentrism, self-indulgence, continuous longing for appreciation, and persistent manipulative behavior to achieve their own needs.

In other words just being an woman is a disorder. Now let's enumerate the symptoms

People with HPD are usually high-functioning, both socially and professionally. They usually have good social skills, despite tending to use them to manipulate others into making them the center of attention.[4] HPD may also affect a person's social and/or romantic relationships, as well as their ability to cope with losses or failures. They may seek treatment for clinical depression when romantic (or other close personal) relationships end.[citation needed]

Individuals with HPD often fail to see their own personal situation realistically, instead dramatizing and exaggerating their difficulties. They may go through frequent job changes, as they become easily bored and may prefer withdrawing from frustration (instead of facing it). Because they tend to crave novelty and excitement, they may place themselves in risky situations. All of these factors may lead to greater risk of developing clinical depression.[5]

Additional characteristics may include:

Exhibitionist behavior

Constant seeking of reassurance or approval

Excessive sensitivity to criticism or disapproval

Pride of own personality and unwillingness to change, viewing any change as a threat

Inappropriately seductive appearance or behavior of a sexual nature

Using somatic symptoms (of physical illness) to garner attention

A need to be the center of attention

Low tolerance for frustration or delayed gratification

Rapidly shifting emotional states that may appear superficial or exaggerated to others

Tendency to believe that relationships are more intimate than they actually are

Making rash decisions[4]

Blaming personal failures or disappointments on others

Being easily influenced by others, especially those who treat them approvingly

Being overly dramatic and emotional[6]

Some people with histrionic traits or personality disorder change their seduction technique into a more maternal or paternal style as they age

My mother is. But she never went to a shrink to because she thought she was perfect.

Probably.

And even if this wasn't the case men who behave like bitches have to face the consequences, unlike children, so it wouldn't show as much.

The abstract correlates with the discussion I started last week.

In the medical field I see a lot of "normal" women who seem to take a lot of antipsychotics. The men, however, who have something wrong with them are the ones who are obviously homeless junkies.

BPD = female nature on steroids (and it occasionally appears in males thanks to extreme child abuse)
