Then you have had some bad experiences with some shitty men, I can only ask that you do not judge us all by their example.

@LenHazell53 You have made an inaccurate assumption. It isn’t a judgement; “In my experience” means it is behavior I have observed in the majority of males. As have my friends. The lack of empathy in men of my generation, and even our own offspring has often been a topic of discussion among the women if my generation. There are exceptions, of course, but it is very definitely a minority. And I did say “generally”. Please refrain from reading my posts in future, as this is not the first time you have posted a baseless assumption. From my perspective, YOU are the one with gender issues.
