I refer again to this analogy. To think you can "always empathize" is the epitomize of privelege. https://twitter.com/ttyger/status/905185825918337024 …

Nope. Everyone can empathise. We have common human emotions and are individuals. But most of the time not empathising anyway.

I would empathise with you. I know grief.But this is a personal thing & a friend's role is to listen. Social justice affects...well, society

I think you're confusing sympathy & empathy. Look it up.
-
No, I don't think so. I would feel both.

Empathy is more personal. Sorry, but you can't really empathize with a black persons struggles. Have all the sympathy you want.

Yes, we can. We can all empathise with each other. If I have a miscarriage & feel grief, a man can know what grief feels like.

When empathising is called for. More often people accused of X-splaining for making ethical arguments, not claiming to know how others feel.

It isn't about "feelings" it's about experience. Empathy will never substitute for experience.

It isn't usually about either when I discuss things. Its about facts, data and ethics. They're available to everyone.

When I was a kid (19) I once told a Vietnam chopper medic that, "yes, I do think I understand what that was like for you." Just imagine.
