I do think it is important for me, as a man that was thrown under numerous buses by my first wife, to acknowledge that not all women do this.

@christophernunn943 As someone that has not owned a TV set since 2008 and seldom has time or inclination to watch, I am horrified by what I am seeing on TV. It is unwatchable unless you are already indoctrinated with the post modernist narrative. I do not have any issues regarding any movement that eradicates discrimination of minority groups. I have long supported campaigns against this sort of thing. However, how can it be a good idea to openly and with complete impunity to proactively discriminate against the majority? To me this is simply the building blocks of two possible outcomes. Slavery of the masses or insurrection by them. I fear the former more than I hate the prospect of the latter.

@martincoates2508 The old saying goes; The hand that rocks the cradle, rules the world. I was far more influenced by my mother than by my father. It has long been the way of the world that women have either chosen to or obliged to be the primary child carers. Therefore why have they influenced their sons to be mysogonistic baby men? I think this is partly due to their innate agreeableness in not wishing to or being fearful of challenging the status quo. Children have an innate sense of fairness, are born without prejudice, and free of isms. Responsible parenting would be to build on this innate goodness, not condition it out of them. Women, do not teach your sons to be macho, but do not try to make them into girls. Kids know their gender roles, and are not born with an ideology. Bring them up without bias or ideology, just as per the child's natural sense of fairness. What a blissful world it would be if run by child sense.

@AeneasGemini I really do not understand what an empathy gap is. Perhaps that needs further explanation. Empathy is an academic understanding of the feelings of others. If there exists what you call a gap, or what might also be called a disparity, this is surely to do with the way in which people are socially conditioned. I learnt many of my parents' points of view not so much by what they said, iE they seldom displayed any verbalisations of their biases and prejudices, but their behaviour made certain of them reasonably obvious to me as a child. An example would be that my father would deliver my mother to the door of a Supermarket for the weekly shopping, and then he and I would go visiting his various buddies that worked in the nearby town. Whilst it was never actually said that shopping is only done by women, when I first went shopping with my girlfriend after moving in together, I stopped at the threshold of the store, and stated that I believed that I was not allowed to enter. I also felt the same way about libraries and higher educational institutions. How subtle this propaganda was! Although I often questioned the illogical mores of society as an innocent child, my mother was very good at firing off maxims to keep my thinking on track. Questioning of maxims was blasphemy, punishable with violence. However her prejudices and dogmas so enforced, that conflicted with my innate epistemological beliefs were very easy for me to abandon. If there is a disparity in empathy between social groups this is most likely due to continuous propaganda well into adulthood. In other words, an ideological intention to create the disparity.
