but the misguided rhetoric you are advocating is commonly used to justify violent, psychopathic, and misogynistic behaviour.

I am afraid that doesn't stand up to reason.

I accept that the mentally unwell can twist anything into justifying whatever anti-social act they please, but that is well beyond any relevance that exists with respect to the conversation here.

At second glance, I guess what you are trying to say is that you are the one who is about to irrationally burst out in a fit of rage because you cannot appropriately process a set of words? I'll be happy to point the police in your direction if that is your concern. They can help protect whomever it is your think you are going to hurt.

You need to stop thinking of human social relationships as transactional.

Telling someone to stop thinking about something is the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

They are not.

Of course, they are. It is well understood that the brain operates on a reward system.

You could really hurt someone if this is genuinely what you believe.

Well, no, technically it would be you who ends up hurting someone if the above is true. If that doesn't describe you, nobody will be hurt. There is nothing here that can cause hurt.
