Not rly a question so much as an appreciation post. I’ve observed women to be very giving & empathetic ppl, more generally than men at least—& I think our world discourages that, so it’s admirable. Thank you to whoever this applies

Thank you. It’s lonely when we feel like we’re punished or made fun of for being empathetic. I appreciate you!

I second this statement! As a man it does make me slightly uncomfortable how much society emphasizes toughness and there’s just so more intelligence I find in those who actually have the ability to empathize and take perspectives.
