This is something I reliazed only resently.

They are not more empathetic, contrary to popular belief.

They are more neurotic. Which means they feel negative emotions more intensely.

Show them a picture of somone suffering and they'll easily be able to well up with feelings of (self)pity and pain, but show them a picture of someone experiencing something positively and their reactions are no more empathetic than men - and more often than not they'll find some unrelated negative emotion to hone in on "oh yeah that must be nice, but have you considered /suffering/ pain/ misery/ misery/ misery".

Yet the whole world has bought this cope that because women are constantly miserable they're somehow better. No, they are just more neurotic and risk-averse, and thus forgiving and submissive towards the in-group, and ruthless and passive-agressive towards the out-group.

They have always carried the flames of whatever ideology is dominant - it's what you would expect neurotic people to do; huddle together and embrace the groupthink for added feelings of protection.
