And this should be obvious, but a woman is a human, if she was really liberated from something, she would be aware of it. There is literally always an observer unless you’re so far gone you really don’t think a woman counts…

Yes, woman is a human. Humans are human. But we tend to only care about those we hear of. A woman in a dire circumstance without someone putting her on insta is still suffering just as much.

Nope, even without ASPD empathy is a learned skill that has to be developed. And someone with a totally broken oxytocin system can still conciously be empathetic with effort. I literally do it every day.
Literally what empathy means…

What if you can’t learn?
Also by whose dictionary are you defining empathy? I wish people well, would seek to alleviate their suffering, I practice compassion. I do not need empathy for any of it.
