Women are built for empathy.
We are emotion driven first creatures, which is not a bad thing.
I think it's often really tempting for people from the right to attack empathy as this really horrible vehicle that's destroying society.
And we should all do the facts don't care about your feelings thing, which all respects to my friend Ben has worked really well with millennials and with men is not working with young women right now.
Because feelings and facts don't have to be divorced from each other is the point that I ultimately make.
If you truly care about the common good, if you truly care about your neighbor, if you truly care about wanting to make society a better place, let's unpack that and then find the right factual solution to actually arrive there.
being messaged to right now is that they're often having their empathy hijacked and turned into this concept of toxic empathy, which Allie Beth Stuckey talks really beautifully about in a book that she wrote on the subject where in order to not upset anyone's feelings or to step really lightly and you don't want to be the mean person in the room, you
You end up affirming things that are ultimately destructive to the human person and to society at large, like abortion, like physician-assisted suicide, like gender transition, like socialism, frankly.
And you're watching that then become attached to emotions.
So the overcorrection would be to say emotions are always terrible, right?
Ignore them at all fault.
Only be positive.
logical always.
But I think emotions actually are a powerful vehicle that we can start to use to make lasting cultural change on a lot of these issues.
Because if we want the best for people, of course we want them to feel comfortable in their own skin and not feel like they have to castrate themselves in order to experience self-love.
Of course we want a young woman to say,
you know what, this might not be the most ideal situation, but I am strong and I am capable and I want to bring my baby into the world and give another person a chance at life.
I can do this with the support of my community.
Of course, we want society at large to not fall back into the pitfalls of socioeconomic hardship under communism that took the lives of 100 million people throughout modern history.
We want people to have a chance to build wealth and create something for themselves, which is generally why I support capitalism more than socialism, right?
