Would be glad to, What is unclear?

Generally, the idea that women are socialized not to empathize with men. In particular, I guess, how you think this operates - like, what specific ways do women not empathize with men - and where you think it comes from.

Because, like. I've seen a lot of people talking about the idea that women are trained to grant almost absurd degrees of primacy to male feelings. I don't think I've ever encountered this idea before. And it seems to be at odds. So I'm just curious to hear more.

Because men eschew emotional investment. Women try to empathise with men, but men as a group seem very intent on not being seen as emotionally viable beings. This gives women an emotional brick wall to slam into and by necessity makes it harder to empathise with men.

The idea you're talking about isn't that woman are trained to grant almost absurd degrees of primacy to male feelings, it's the bullshit idea that women are inherently physiologically hard-wired to be motherly and compassionate and emotionally nurturing. It's bullshit. We're just people. and people, when faced with endless resistance to emotional connections get sick of it and walk away eventually.

I mean, the people I've read have talked about it 100% as a result of socialization, not as something innate, so I'm not sure that I agree with that point. But thank you for the response.
