Manopathy 

Manopathy is a supernatural occurrence in which a man possesses the telepathic ability to rape a woman with nothing but his mind. This phenomenon was reported by many brave feminists. Research shows that only a white cisgendered male can posses this ability and it can be determined that all white cisgendered men should be considered guilty. Only the victim of this supernatural attack can identify it.
Betsy: I was raped!! I was raped!!
Tammy: Whoa slow down and tell me what happened.
Betsy: Okay. there I was minding my own buissness , when this white cismale started raping me with his mind.
Tammy : What are you talking about?
Betsy: Im afraid the patriarchy will let him get away with his Manopathy attack on me. I need a safe space.

(Noun) Psychiatry. A unique combination of traits resulting in a personality typified by sociopathic tendencies, a nearly complete unfamiliarity with moral responsibility and social conscience, a proclivity towards lies and thievery, and a near total inability to concentrate sufficiently on any single task resulting in consistenly shoddy workmanship.

This condition is so rare it is only known to exist in one individual, for whom the disease is named.

Sure signs of encountering this individual may include large quantities of bondo, claims of being "handy capped", references to "treats" (meaning "threats"), and unusually frequent references to something called a "shreff" (which is to this date unknown). Infrequently, there may be an air-cooled Volkswagen involved - although this will usually end up being stolen goods.

The victim also suffers from an extreme delusional state (i.e. his wife is hot, he is a top restorer, etc.).

Persons coming in contact with a mariopath would be advised to keep a sharp eye on their wallets.
"That guy is such a complete mariopath, he needs to be put to sleep."
