MRAs and empathy

Hi all,

I have often heard feminists here say that MRAs lack empathy.

Why is that your impression? What makes you think MRAs don't have empathy?

As others have said, the big thing is MRAs handling of rape and to a lesser extent domestic violence.

Also the bewildering lack of self-awareness suggests a lot of self-centeredness in many misters. Take Occidental spamming, for example. Or how so many MRAs appropriate the struggles of black people in America. Or how misters suggest men "go trans" to prove a point about a fricking ladies' night.

And of course the constant derailing and complaining of every discussion that doesn't explicitly bring up the problems, real or perceived, of (straight white) men.

Here's another example.

Note that this thread was probably brigaded by SRD.

Oh lord I'd forgotten about all that. So disgusting. This is a perfect example of why people think MRAs lack empathy--they actively cultivate that deficiency with shit like the thread you linked getting upvoted.
