Liberation isn’t just an event, it’s a story we tell each other to remember it’s possible. A war might topple a regime, a law might grant rights, but if no one sees it, if it doesn’t ripple through the collective imagination, it’s just a tree falling in the forest of history. The real work isn’t the act itself; it’s the echo. Without witnesses, even victory is just a footnote. And in the age of algorithms, if the echo doesn’t go viral, did the tree ever make a sound?
How do we even know what liberation is if not for the drumbeat that announces it through the ages.
Yes…
This is an incredibly low empathy question.
Things that you’re not aware of still matter.
And this should be obvious, but a woman is a human, if she was really liberated from something, she would be aware of it. There is literally always an observer unless you’re so far gone you really don’t think a woman counts…
Yes, woman is a human. Humans are human. But we tend to only care about those we hear of. A woman in a dire circumstance without someone putting her on insta is still suffering just as much.
also, low empathy is a cognitive issue one cannot help. Refrain from ableism if you care for neurodivergent people. I do not need empathy to care for people.
Nope, even without ASPD empathy is a learned skill that has to be developed. And someone with a totally broken oxytocin system can still conciously be empathetic with effort. I literally do it every day.
Literally what empathy means…
What if you can’t learn?
Also by whose dictionary are you defining empathy? I wish people well, would seek to alleviate their suffering, I practice compassion. I do not need empathy for any of it.
