Some PC types (gender feminists in this case) are claiming that the definition of lack of empathy is solipsism, therefore all solipsists lack empathy. This is wrong, but almost everything PC people are gender feminists say is wrong anyway. PC people lie constantly because PC itself is nothing but lies. Gender feminists lie constantly because the very concept of gender feminism is based on a series of lies. Gender feminists don’t understand men at all – they have zero understanding of males. Gender feminists don’t even understand women! Their understanding of women is very poor.
Anyway, let’s take it apart. Do solipsists lack empathy? Probably not. There is much evidence against this theory. First of all, the Manosphere has been saying for some time now that females are solipsistic. I would say instead that the feminine essence is solipsistic. Males are not so much solipsistic as narcissistic. In fact, narcissism is a defining characteristic of the masculine essence.
However, I do agree that females are basically solipsistic. The world of the female is a world of endless solipsism. However, females are not purely solipsistic because while they are wrapped up in themselves all the time, most females also have quite a bit of empathy for others. So while they spend a lot of time in their shell, they come out of quite easily, often do and very much enjoy caring about other people. If 50% of the population is notoriously solipsistic but at the same time has a great deal of empathy, this should prove the crazy PC charge wrong on the spot. Obviously observation shows that many solispsistic people are capable of tremendous caring.
But what about a worse type of solipsist. This type is often male and is all wrapped up in himself most of the time. Does he lack empathy? Probably not. This type of male solipsist does indeed care about others, but they are so wrapped up in themselves all the time that they simply have little time or energy left over for other people. They’re too busy thinking of themselves to devote much time to thinking of others. That’s not lack of empathy.
Also many of these types are distressed about the fact that they are too wrapped up in themselves to worry about others, and they often worry that they lack empathy. If you worry that you lack empathy, you don’t lack empathy.
In response, many solipsists have told me that they spend a lot of time working on their empathetic feelings, but they say that these feelings do not come naturally because they always seem to come first in their minds.
If you are trying very hard to be empathetic, you don’t lack empathy.
If you feel upset, worried, and guilty that you don’t care about others enough, then you don’t lack empathy. That right there shows you you have a conscience. Also guilt is a sign of empathy. If there’s guilt, there’s empathy. There can be no guilt without empathy. No empathy, no guilt because they are part of each other.
We need to look at people who truly lack empathy. I have known many of them in my life. If you point out that they don’t care, are abusive, manipulative or selfish, they often get angry and start projecting back at you because these types project constantly. It is their major defense.
At any rate, these types are not upset by their selfishness, manipulation, abusiveness or lack of empathy. They could care less. I am not sure if they know they are bad or if they simply do not care if they are bad or not because I can’t understand someone like that. Many of them will simply deny that they are selfish, manipulative, abusive or uncaring. Apparently they don’t think they are. They will just deny it and not think of it again because they have shut their bad behaviors out of awareness.
Anyway, unempathetic people don’t get upset if you point out how selfish and uncaring you are. They will just call you a liar, get angry, or project away and move on. Whether they are like this or not is not important to them. Maybe they are, maybe they aren’t, but at the end of the day, they could pretty much care less. It is not something that keeps them up at night.
So while the solipsist does care about others but simply doesn’t have the time or energy to worry or think about them much, narcissists and others have plenty of time and energy to care but they simply do not want to. Why they do not want to, I have no idea. Why they don’t care about not caring, I have no idea. That is because I cannot fathom how any human being could possibly think this way. It makes no sense to me.
