Now you get it!

Can you relate to missing a finger or having a plate in your arm? No. You can understand the mechanism of pain but you can't truly relate.

Regardless sympathy works too.

You're not getting not getting it. I can't relate to sensations I cannot feel myself. My own sisters agree with me on this. The fact that you think I need to see it beyond that.

Starting?

Well, maybe it's my education on the subject. A women's hormonal cycle is completely different than a male's. Males have a 24 hour cycle and women can fluctuate depending on their cycle. So just with that alone I know their emotional system is run on a different hardware. I am not sure how I can relate much.

I have two sisters and listened, but do I know what it's like to feel like that? Nope.

It's different from when they are using it as leverage vurses using it to relate. When it's used to relate it's a completely justified use of the word.

I despise when women say "I'm an empath" and then continue to tell you how you feel when that is not actually how I feel. No. You don't get to claim to know me better than I do.

I think sympathy can be something you can try and understand but not fully grasp. I can TRY and understand why women are emotional during menstruation, but will I ever KNOW what that feels like? No I won't.

Isn't Christ THE cracker? Wouldn't Christ on a cracker be two crackers?

Are they fucking stupid? Do they not realize HOW MANY MINORITIES EXIST?

Yea and no. I was by no means the guy everyone wanted to hang out with. But I did know and hang out with and eclectic collection of people. I got along with everyone. Probably because I thought and still think most people are cool in their own right and you just gotta find that for them.

It looks like garbage. In like every way. And I'm a car guy. It's not political. It's a big old pile of "not worth 120". I can buy two Toyotas with more satisfaction in style and performance.
