The Humanity Gap (or, The 'Value' of Valuelessness)

4 years ago

Is compassion and empathy for men enough, especially since we don't address the fact that men's existence as their own individual (as opposed to roles assigned to in society) is never honored? As long as men are "valued" for being valueless, disposable and expendable, what would compassion and empathy amount to? What could it do if it cannot lift men up from the hell of expendable non-existence?

I present to you, the Humanity Gap - I illustrate that women's humanity is valued in excess such to the point that men's humanity is sacrificed to uphold it. In order for this to be implemented, a social "morality" in which men are valued strictly for their lack thereof (therefore conveniently used disposably).

So long as the Humanity Gap is not addressed, compassion and empathy for men may not be enough.
