> it's remarkable to me how you don't realise what sort of stigma comes with being falsely labelled like that.  We see that a lot from feminists.  My hypothesis is that empathy requires a minimum level of intelligence, which many feminists fall below, thus rendering them essentially sociopaths due to sheer stupidity.  More research in to the phenomenon is clearly needed, but I think my hypothesis will serve to fill the gap until it's replaced by a better one.
