The Weaponization of Feminine Empathy | JD Haltigan

JD Haltigan argues that the overrepresentation of women in humanities and underrepresentation of men in social sciences has marginalized essential systemizing elements required for societal order. He defines masculinity as tracking with systemization and femininity with empathization, warning that a society becoming entirely feminine results in chaos due to a lack of quantitative focus on laws and rules. Haltigan claims one political party is now completely feminized, clashing with the conservative masculine embodiment, suggesting this gendered dynamic drives current political instability rather than simple ideological differences.

	Masculinity is really what will track personality-wise with systemization.

	And if a society becomes completely feminine, all kinds of chaos will ensue because you don't have any sort of rule-based, lawful, statistically-minded, quantitatively focused orientation to why we have laws, why we have rules, why we need order, why we need immigration law, and so forth.
	And so I think that's really what's happened is we've reached a threshold in society where one party is completely feminized.
	They see the Trump side right, you know, conservative as sort of the masculine embodiment, and they're just these two forces are clashing right now.

Weaponized Empathy and Feminine Ethics 00:02:02

I think what's happened is we've come to basically hijack the feminine ethic of care, the feminine impulse to be empathetic, particularly on the left, has become what I view as a completely feminized democratic party where empathy is weaponized.

And so, you know, we see more women in college, we see less men, you know, in the humanities, in social sciences, and sort of the systemizing element,

which is really what underlies how things are ordered in society, how things function, has been, you know, has been basically more or less discarded or seen as not important.

Masculinity is really what will track personality-wise with systemization.

And femininity is really sort of the analogy with empathization.

And if a society becomes completely feminine, all kinds of chaos will ensue because you don't have any sort of rule-based, lawful, statistically-minded, quantitatively focused orientation to why we have laws, why we have rules, why we need order, why we need immigration law, and so forth.

And so I think that's really what's happened is we've reached a threshold in society where one party is completely feminized.

They see the Trump side right, you know, conservative as sort of the masculine embodiment, and they're just these two forces are clashing right now.

And you see this playing out all over the place.

And you know, masculinity's been a huge topic of pundit writing online and so forth.

But you know, i i it it's all the same thing.
