Is empathy a masculine trait?

[TheEndHasNoEnd]

I see almost 0 women being empathetic despite being the "emotional gender." I think it's another reason why they'll never understand incels, or the complete brutality of being spawnkilled. What do you guys think?

Empathy is good to have, makes you relatable and have people respect you. Don’t listen to the basement dwellers who say otherwise. They have no world experience besides the forums they browse

you can't really associate an emotion with gender. males are definitely more empathetic to other men. and women are more empathetic with other women. between sexes I don't see a big gap

Yea

and women are more empathetic with other women.

No they wanna kill each other lol

between sexes I don't see a big gap

I think there is because empathy requires experience to relate, and women struggle way less than men

I do see a huge gap, women are never empathetic with men but then even with other women they don't tend to be

Being empathetic is deferent to being generous. People can mistake your generosity for vulnerability. Empathy is a human trait. Being generous usually isn’t.

Women generally in my life have been more empathetic than men. I've seen/known multiple guys with absolutely no empathy (Including my dad, he might have had ASPD though) but it's very rare for women.

Everyone has a level of empathy (except hardcore sociopaths) but there's different levels. I think some people (women) can easily exploit a man's empathy and guilt trip him.

This might vary from culture to culture. I'd assume black women from less fortunate backgrounds would experience struggles and therefore the ability to empathize. And I believe black men are told, more than other men, to not show weakness right? Maybe they do empathize but refuse to show it, to not appear weak.

Both my parents came from middle income homes but made it to like the top 0.1% in terms of wealth in my country. Idk why but for women were a lot more empathetic in my life than men with a few exceptions. Even when I had a corrective surgery done after dislocating my arm, the female nurses seemed to generally care more about my wellbeing compared to the male ones (I was like 13 back then).

Maybe more black guys are told not to show emotion so that might be a factor, but isn't that common in other ethnicities.

yes, men are the ones who care for society, women are the recipients
