There's that female empathy I keep hearing so much about.

Female “empathy” is just narcissistic sympathy. They don’t care about anyone, but feel better about themselves after they advocate for x, get their name in a paper, and then try to profit from it.

If I had a dollar for every woman who confused empathy with sympathy, I'd have 3.9 billion dollars.

Sometimes depends on the culture in question. I also wouldn't be remotely surprised if at least some of the cause for such a limited capacity for empathy in modern Western women is related to birth control measures.

I'm reasonably certain that at least some of what contributes to natural empathy in women is specifically tied in with some of their hormone patterns (especially as it relates to child rearing and bonding).

Birth control tends to suppress or rip that out of the equation, so you end up with far more manipulative sociopaths employing fake empathy as a weapon and a narrative-pushing device.

And of course we also see how this stacks with other variables on top. IE, an excess of unnecessary psychoactive pharmaceutical prescriptions, economic favoritism via simping, political favoritism, sociopathic levels of sexual promiscuity, entire media and industry campaigns intended to fuck over men, workplace politics, etc.

Birth control is a whole can of worms. If you asked people if we should alter the biological processes of half the species in the name of social and economic advancement, they would be pretty cautious in their response. For some reason (sexual revolution, ie Marxist bullshit), we completely skipped the conversation: to question it now would be the highest form of heresy.

Do not be misled by the fact that today hardly anyone gets killed for joining a scientific heresy. This has nothing to do with science. It has something to do with the general quality of our civilization. Heretics in science are still made to suffer from the most severe sanctions this relatively tolerant civilization has to offer. -- Paul Feyerabend

I've never been able to fathom how most women can see hormonal birth control as a good thing.

You're actively fucking around with your body to such an extent that it can and will alter your judgment, thinking, and decision processes - just so you can... have sex? And we're supposed to applaud this?

More and more I'm stumbling across topics I know better than to consider too deeply, as the endpoint is rather depressing to consider.

I'm quite certain that birth control has lasting side effects (miscarriages) but there is zero research being done on this. I know so many people who tell the same story: Birth control for 5+ years, marriage, attempt to have kids, miscarriage, miscarriage, miscarriage, give up.

The studies (which are only surveys) ask women if they have ever conceived after being on the pill, and since most say yes, they conclude that the pill has no effect on fertility long term. Conceive, not give birth. This is asinine. There is no drug in existence that you can take daily for 5+ years without side effects. Not possible. It literally turns the uterine lining to poison, you're telling me that clears up instantly overnight? No way.

I knew a couple who failed to reach full term, and decided to adopt. They found an orphan white baby who's parents died in an accident. They encountered endless roadblocks trying to adopt him. The agency even said their house was "too nice" and they had "too much money" and he wouldn't be able to "relate to other kids." They had "too much land" and kids need to be "In the city around other kids" ??????? After this they were told they could have unlimited neglit babies from Africa, no questions asked.

That's ... Actually a really good point.

It explains why I hate lots of women because of how they act, but the women I know are great. None of my family or friends who are female use birth control, and they're amazing people.

I would like to look into it now that you mention it. Might explain why progressive women are such subhuman shitbags and conservative ones are much more likely to be good people and have better maternal instincts and compassion.

Aye. It sort of dawned on me a bit when I was doing some research on the stages and effects of pregnancy because of a friend of mine.

I should note that there certainly can be exceptions to this. Had some experiences with a chick for a few years who was a bit unstable and never took any birth control.

So I guess a woman's hormones can still be an off-balance wildcard, but it's still a natural process that tends to have an established purpose that usually seems to encourage and promote some of those more positive motherly instincts and emotions.
