Pew Research Center reports that as of March, 45% of girls ages 13-17 feel “a great deal” of pressure to fit in socially, and as cultural conservatism grows, that changes what fitting in means.
This one is subtle. The teenage girls who reported feeling “a great deal of pressure to fit in socially” were almost certainly talking about pressure to conform to leftism. That has been the dominant pressure among teenage girls for decades and is almost certainly what that survey reflected.
The author of the article asserts that this same pressure must apply in the opposite direction now that the overall culture is shifting to the right - except that’s not a valid assumption. “We pressured the shit out of these kids to behave a certain way, so now the exact same thing must be happening when conservatives are in control of the culture.” She’s projecting her own side’s terrible behavior onto us and then condemning us for it.
Meanwhile, in reality, boys are simply abandoning and retaliating against an ideology that openly hates them. If girls are picking up on that trend and reacting with empathy instead of hostility, that’s a positive development.
Leftist shrews are obviously buttmad about this because they’ve always defaulted to being “empowered independent women” aka insufferable disagreeable cunts. Maybe young girls can see that their immediate predecessors are “girl bossing” their way into spinster misery and have decided they don’t want that future for themselves.
We got a real world example with Pam Bondi's retarded take regarding "hate speech" and subsequent "correction" when smarter people called out her retardation.
I don’t think I disagree with any of this. Empathy was probably a poor word choice.
Although, maybe not? More and more, I’m not sure empathy, as we purport to understand it, even exists. At least not in statistically significant amounts within the general population.
What we think of as “empathy” almost always takes one of two forms:
virtue signaling, often times against the enemy
triggered by personally experiencing pain
The first is one is exactly the sort of consensus-based behavior you observe in women. The second is just the pain-motivated response we see in most creatures. Neither behavior really falls under our common definitions of empathy.
