I'd need to see an adult woman tested as well as the adult man before I can conclude its his gender that causes the lack of empathy.

Yet more evidence that dogs are the most privileged group in America today.

Dogs shut the fuck up and serve their function. Men do not.

The article claims this study shows a lack of sympathy for "human adults, who are considered capable of taking care of themselves," but the kicker is that the "human adult" is a man in his thirties.

The scenarios involved the beating of a 1-year-old baby, an adult in his 30s, a puppy or a 6-year-old dog.

The only time the gender of the adult is mentioned.

If it were looking at the response to a 30 year old woman and a puppy being beaten and the puppy garnered more sympathy you can be sure they'd have mentioned the gender by more than a single pronoun buried in the article.

More evidence of the disposable male. Violence against men is normalized while violence against puppies and babies isn't. Violence directed at men is where violence is "supposed" to be directed.

There's something about a multieyed tentacled monster that arouses our helpless pity and love. As Brian Ralph (or was it James Kochalka?) once mused, "A monkey lost in space is much sadder than a human lost in space." It's a handy axiom for cartoonists. If I were to draw these cartoons about myself, readers would write in telling me to quit feeling sorry for myself and calling me an emo bitch. But Mr. Tehn breaks everybody's fucking hearts.

Deleted by myself, got the wrong end of the stick.

Not surprised, considering the entirety of society is in on this whole 'lets not care about men unless they do things for us/are valuable to us in some way' bs.

I'm not surprised.
