A lot of #gender norms turn out to be completely false. One of them: females are higher in #empathy than males.

Sadly, it corroborates my own observations. Many of my female colleagues prefer to work with men precisely to avoid this sort of (recent?) cruelty.
Nothing fills me with so much #faith in humanity, our infinite potential for #empathy and limitless #compassion… than watching a pre-school child screaming in despair while being forcefully abandoned — “care-outsourced” — by his parents at the kindergarten porch.
Cry. Comply.
“I don’t know how to explain to someone why they should #care about other people. I don’t know how to convince someone how to experience the basic human #emotion of #empathy. I can’t talk with someone who is content to see millions of people suffer.”
