On your last note, I agree with you that empathy is important. I do give a shit what other people think and feel, but not when they are clearly line stepping, judgmental, and disrespectful. It’s literally impossible to people please because people have wildly varying and opposite opinions.

I was mostly referring to empathy for the groups of men that want the show emotions for sports.

However for the shitty people we are dismissing, I can show empathy buy understanding about the different socio-economic condidtions that likely make them into a raging homophobe or toxicly masculine asshole, but I in no way forgive them or condone their behavior. Understanding is a part of empathy, but it doesn’t have to follow that those that are disrespectful of other are to have that behavior be tolerated.
