For example, when men demand empathy but only women are socialized to have empathy, it becomes a demand for accommodation.

Some good Japan election news: Bigot Sugita Mio, who's called LGBTQ people "unproductive" and referred to Ainu people as "cosplayers," has lost her bid for a seat in Japan's Upper House. Seems voters have had enough of her hateful theatrics.
