Why are you assuming that the female relative is a “need” in order to empathize and not just a way to feel closer to the problem?
I think it’s fair that if you have deep connections with someone, their problems become your problems. It doesn’t mean you wouldn’t care about that if you didn’t have that connection.
It is time for me to air 1 of my grievances.
I hate. Hate. Hate. When men are like “I can’t believe [awful thing] happened to that woman. I mean, I have a [daughter/sister/mother] at home.”
Like what kind of awful person needs a female relative in order to empathize?
In conclusion, those guys are like the least metal boy alliance ever.
