I dunno, Eric. Not your best. A short rebuttal.

Women talk more about relationship and analyze relationship more than men. Women are also generally believed more than men. This means they are offered more empathy. And, men aren't all that empathetic, it's something we have to work at.

So, I do think it's true in a general sense that a lonely woman is going to receive more empathy than a lonely man.

One issue is in how we're socialized. Boys are socialized primarily by women who want them to behave a certain way but often seem to forget what they were draw to when young. Or, they only present one type of attraction and courting. I don't think they do this on purpose, but the way it's presented is that if you do A, B & C, women will appreciate you and find you attractive. Only it's not that way at all. Unwittingly, women teach boys that it's a transaction, and then wonder why some men are frustrated that there's no transaction.

And lastly, your contention that men do awful things and women do not, is simply not true. Men do, indeed perpetrate a higher percentage of violent crime/worst case scenario. But everything from intimate partner violence to infidelity to child abuse and neglect is far more evenly matched between genders than most people want to admit.

I work in in mental health for a facility that works with children. I read clinical all day long and help parents and providers access higher levels of care. Both men and women cufk up the children. They do it in different ways, and from my perspective neither gender is better than the other.
