Why is it that if you argue or defend a topic/issue passionately, you must be directly effected by it? Are people so apathetic and self-centered they cannot care about issues beyond themselves? For example, when I passionately argue pro-choice there are idiots that assume I have had an abortion. When I argue in favour of Black Lives Matter or point out systemic racism, I must secretly be a POC myself... when I argue in favour of LGTBQ+ community I must secretly be gay, trans or queer. And recently, on this site, to be against revenge porn, I must have taken so many shameful nudes that are flying around the internet as we speak. heh. Why are people so goddam selfish that they cannot care about demographics of people they do not identify with or belong to? What's with this apathy and decreased empathy going on? :/

Some people want or need to compensate themselves by using or blaming others for their
Own short comings.The greater they blame others
the greater they really hated themselves and or the
environmental social existence.
Is a short answer for a very complicated question.

Oh, that's because it's way super easy to just over-generalize on every thing, everyone and every topic. This is why headlines are eight words or less, to make everything more "snackable".

With such muddled inputs, it's no surprise that the output would be as easy as "woman's rights" = "you had an abortion" or "gay rights" = "you gay".

With that in mind, in the broadest stroke of generality, the value of people are their opposable thumbs - you know, to open all those cans for me.
