The idea that mother's have some special love for their children has done more damage to our society than half the issues people talk about, change my mind.
No reason to change it. My parents adopted kids from a neglectful/abusive household. Even though the mother was obviously unfit to keep them, the courts were still slanted in her favor, and she fought tooth and nail to keep her "property" dragging my folks through years of court battles.
Of course, once she finally lost, she dropped off the face of the earth, and would have nothing more to do with her kids. It's almost like she didn't care about them as people or something.
I think it’s true for the most part, or it should be, but the women who don’t feel it are some of the most twisted, broken and reprehensible creatures on the planet. And they are celebrated by our society, which does it’s best to make more of them.
The MSM is partially responsible for the lack of empathy.
Go to an Amish commune, be respectful, observe them. They have empathy. They care for each-other. Is it because they're religious? No. Lots of people show up to church twice a week and don't give a shit. Is it because they work hard? CEOs usually pull 14-16 hour days 7 days a week, but are disproportionately psychopaths.
It is because they aren't inundated with media. There was a mass shooting in my town a year ago. 1 dead, a half-dozen injured. Shooter dead too. So, no chance of it happening again, they dead. Guess what gets wall-to-wall coverage for WEEKS? Two less population in the city! Live! In! Fear! They didn't even usually distinguish that one was the murderer and therefore basically a life write-off, just "two dead in mass shooting". Everyone and anyone could be a shooter! At the same time, during those weeks, two people jumped off a bridge onto a highway. The only reason I know is I walk across that bridge and saw a small but tasteful flower arrangement and note each time. Media doesn't care about depressed or those in need of help. There's no profit for them in turning off your TV and instead going outside and socializing, making friends, building community bonds. The less bonds you have, the more you're glued to your TV, the more money they earn.
They WANT you to be afraid, to fear everyone else. And when you fear someone, you don't extend your empathy to them nearly as easily.

This reminds me of the Sophie situation from a few months back that TUG and Rekieta covered and eventually garnered enough outrage to save the kid.

Well, I had a loving mother, so I can't really agree with you here.
Assuming that they love their children by default is not such a great idea though.
