Men have got to get their shit together. Just show a bit of empathy, bro! It’s not that hard, humans are literally wired for it.

There's a concept from the autism community called the double empathy problem which posits that counter to the mainstream narrative that people with autism are lacking/missing empathy, autistic people do have empathy. The theory suggests that the brains of autistic individuals processes information and stimuli so dramatically differently from 'neurotypical' people that neurotypical people are typically unable to accurately understand what is going on in the neurodiverse mind and vice versa. It suggests that empathy seems to most easily work neurodiverse-to-neurodiverse and neurotypical-to-neurotypical which to me makes sense.

Now there are certainly plenty of people in the modern world who seem unable to display any form of empathy, but this theory does highlight that empathy isn't a binary and depends on your ability to understand the mind of another.

There is no single way to be empathetic, and it is entirely possible that one person thinks they are being empathetic when in fact they are being antagonistic to the other. My point is that empathy can look different to different groups.

failing that, a life of imprisonment far from the people they’re a danger to

I'm just going to leave this here, it's a good book that might be worthwhile reading: Violence: Reflections on a National Epidemic - James Gilligan

Whilst I admire your desire to desire to remove the barriers between people there are still differences between the sexes, both biological and socially enforced (by both men and women).

Men did this to themselves by continuing to be ‘men’ and not just being human…clearer?

For someone who claims to want to treat people as 'humans' instead of men and women, that's a pretty hypocritical statement to make. Men are supposedly bad for not transcending their 'male' group identitity and becoming gender-less humans - but you're okay with denigrating them based on their group identity?

Men do not exist in a vacuum and you've fallen in to the classic trap of blaming them for the society in which they find themselves.

I can't tell whether you're being tautologically absurd or whether you believe there's some important distinction there that you're just not sharing with us.

What does this even mean?

I can't imagine they were ever actually going to buy them anyway. They're ridiculously expensive and probably aren't necessary for any of the threats that India is facing.

I don't know, this looks pretty gay to me.

Nah, they just go bankrupt.

And people without a million dollars in the bank will be disadvantaged in the future too, but here we are.

I sincerely hope no man makes the mistake of going near you.

There something quite ableist about all of this.

As if everyone can pull themselves up by their bootstraps without the support of a community around them.

So I shouldn't try not to be be ugly and unpleasant?
