Maybe not to you & you can exempt yourself from general conversation. I'll still judge an opinion on its merits tho.

Oh, you certainly don't have to claim to know how other people feel about things but we share common human emotions & can always empathise.

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.
