This is one reason why the attack on empathy is so evil. If we have to wait for person after person to experience the brutality of this administration before we wake up, then we'll inflict an immense amount of pain on our country. But if, instead, we could place ourselves in the shoes of the immigrant in chains, then we can see the injustice more plainly. And no, this does not mean that we can't or shouldn't deport illegal immigrants when appropriate. It doesn't mean we must have open borders. But we can't lose our own humanity and decency in the process, and we must not use brutality as an instrument of enforcement.

Mr French perfectly encapsulates toxic femininity. By this logic, the most important aspect is having empathy regardless if it’s misguided because love is love. This is 1960s flower power arriving at the logical endpoint whereby peace will naturally arrive through a protest done in a five star hotel bed by a famous rockstar. The naivety is staggering. Individuals like Mr French will repeatedly defer to international law and his fellow journalists will travel to a poor area in the developing world protesting against the Trump admin as if Trump is the sole reason for poverty. They will support local politicians as they redirect funds from drug addiction prevention and homeless shelters to trans people doing yoga while claiming cuts to USAID have led to millions of deaths because their friends with master’s degrees in public health from Georgetown lost funding for their NGO which was receiving billions during Biden’s tenure. They have zero street sense.

I know someone who had to flee to a new university because the women in the dept demonized him as the only white cis man. But because his grants are DEI related, he was like, some diversity is still a good thing; like now that I landed in a safe place, I want my DEI money back. Just can't quit it.

Well said. Indeed, a very feminine response.
