Not sure the evidence is strictly that it's about being wired that way so much as the experience in jobs that require such a thing and the brain chemistry could conceivably be altered over time by constant exposure to such situations. Excessive empathy could be more that aspect of being wired...

Not having children age out of the system and potentially fall prey to systemic issues that plague them, leading to mental illness, poverty, etc. The bootstraps mentality never worked consistently, it only has short term success at best, long term it leads to burnout and suffering

And there's Deborah in Judges, albeit she's the only one, because...the Bible is pretty misogynist, hard to spin it otherwise except with the minority themes that might be more female-positive like one of the Gospels...Luke, I believe? Been a while, though I still have my textbook from the first...

And that's just post partum, there are plenty of conditions that can occur during pregnancy and several are guaranteed death if not addressed when the symptoms show up

If the shoe fits, why deflect and cry that someone's breaking the rules? Don't want accountability except when it suits you? Do you admit your line of inquiry could be construed reasonably to be prejudicing the discussion in regards to illegal immigrants as being characterized as criminal risks...

*shudder* that mention of Franklin County just reminds me that's also the area where I live, and I wouldn't be shocked if such an atrocity happens here and is covered up because of the rampant misogyny that still persists in the South, the hotbed of the slave economy

I mean, if you don't care about the experiences and struggles of half the population, sure, just joke about it, because I guess it's not your problem and you don't need to have empathy unless it's your group. There's compassion fatigue and then there's bordering on being a sociopath

If you distort what I said grossly to insinuate I mentioned sanctuary cities (that was you, I didn't bring that up whatsoever in the discussion or make it relevant) and also insert the word racism, which I didn't use in regard to this, you assumed it because I still called you bigoted, which...

The situation would have to be almost resetting society to the point that we'd even have some kind of economic structure like ancient Rome where gladiators were, as I recall, partly slaves that were trained and could, ideally, get freedom after enough success (kind of like that Russel Crowe...

Oversharing is a problem, but the issue is what they see fit to share and then claim some things should just be hidden instead of brought to light because then it would expose injustice. That level of egotism and hypocrisy exists in any one, but it seems far more like abortion would expose right...

Because they likely don't realize or don't want to confront the societal stigma around rape and how that may have been part of why the legal aspects were kept VERY confidential

Nope, never said that remotely, I said such a thing is a result of the irresponsible judicial decision by a biased Christocentric conservative Supreme Court that selectively interprets cases to fit their perception because they know there's a majority in their favor You're entirely ignoring the...

Bullcrap I did, you need to cite that, because I'm 99% sure I never said that, I said your insinuation of illegal immigrant being criminals is xenophobic and bigoted, neither of which uses the word racist, which you think is used so broadly when it has a specific meaning, contrary to memetic...

A "trip"? I sense some major distortion here to act like this is some arrangement versus people fleeing for supposedly better opportunity Not sure you can "screen out" criminals unless they've already committed a crime. Unless you want to have a Minority Report world where we basically arrest...

You not seeing it doesn't mean it isn't a thing, esp. if you limit your scope to the "common" people: a preacher who "admitted" to a form of sexual assault apparently played it down and suggested it wasn't as bad and the woman later confronted him in the service years later and the congregation...

No one said otherwise, the point remains of xenophobia, a concept I'm not sure you're grasping applies in the idea of making immigrants a boogeyman, something done across history

Weird I just was looking up the Captain America "understanding" the Wizard of Oz reference made in Avengers. Seems fitting

Ha, you think the forced birthers care? They're convinced of their moral high ground, they can rationalize any dehumanizing they want as long as they frame it as "patriotic" and "moral"

It's not that it's offensive, it's that you're magnifying a trait that isn't pertinent in regards to how we analyze this problem, because I'd bet you money it happens more often than we realize with people we think we can trust and then it's covered up, because, if you remember, our culture...

And it's also not relevant in terms of the committing of the crime, because I'm pretty sure more crime would be committed by legal citizens, because we don't scapegoat them like we do "foreigners" and have done that since America's founding, even when they were pale white
