Are you empathetic towards other men?

By Celtic Druid


I feel my empathy towards my fellow male has been something that has been suppressed and scorn poured upon since a child, with contrary views further demeaned by self-serving gynocentric accusations of homosexuality and misogyny in order to realign the males stupidity via classic "shame and guilt tactics".

Machismo is a selective trait which women decide upon it's merits and interpretation dependant on it's beneficial outcomes. Expressing masculine tendancies is natural. However, when this "expression" excludes Men's empathy for one another it becomes a tool for -- divide and conquer -- for manipulative females.

History has proved this assertion and I claim that this destructive function in women is innate and cannot solely be laid at the feet of a modern concept of inherent selfishness. Maybe as much a evolutionary survival instinct to engineer male vs male, which ultimately ensures men are focused like dogs fighting over a bone.

Without the necessary insight to realise this is folly - introspection isn't first on the average male's priorities or awareness. So rather than extend our hand of recognition regarding another man's suffering and pain, we revert to form and make comedy of it. That's ok to a degree but discounting all the pain's of our fellow Male's merely seeks to reinforce the perception that we are unfeeling and incapable of empathy.

When I was younger and before I knew better, my empathy was restricted to "learned" perceptions of what was deemed worthy of empathy. It was always gender specific and ultimately was gynocentrically driven - which by it's definition meant men lost out.

Empathy and it's recipients should never be monopolised by any gender or group, this lends to pompous assumptions of superiority via perceived morale and spiritual traits whose assumptions are never questioned courtesy of the preordained machinations of political correctness with it's everpresent best buddy "feminism."

We as men need to break free of this learned interpretation of empathy, as this restrictive concept has no more merit than if we were to only be empathetic to white people and disregard black people as worthy of it. Personally I try to apply my empathy from a egalitarian approach and not revert to the same vile gender hatred that feminism fanatically embraces and espouse's.
