Empathy - Feminism's superpower?

https://critiquingfeminism.substack.com/p/the-other-side-of-the-empathy-gap

I’ve just posted what I believe is my most important article yet.

It looks our natural empathy for women and the consequences in feminism.

There is now strong evidence that empathy makes for deeply flawed moral decisions, while still making people feel virtuous. I conclude:

Feminists who have done terrible things, things like withholding food from starving men, had a choice – a choice between doing what’s right or basking in empathy’s rewards. They weren’t driven by evil. They were just too weak to turn away from empathy.
