Thanks for reminding me, I loved that game! Perfect recommendation, although the enemies do impede the satisfaction of getting on with it. Maybe there's a cheat to get rid of them.
I'm watching a review now, thanks. Looks like a good recommendation, although I'm not a huge fan of FPS. Edit: yeah, this is great but the learning curve is a bit much for me. I just want to smash :D
And therein lies your problem. You’ve taken something which seriously affects women at large, and reduced it down to something about yourself.
Empathy can be learned (it’s in us already, just needs unimpeded space). It’s a higher-order form of intelligence that helps us understand the connections between things that are not mechanical, but rather living: each other.
Even for computer games, I hear stories of men smashing things up when they lose a game or have a certain interaction with another player. There’s an impotent rage lying in wait in many of us, and no man wants to confront their own sense of impotence.
Sincerely, if you can’t see that the trends of behaviours like this in men outpace women significantly, you have a heavily skewed view of the realities here.
There are other phenomena too that uniquely affect men, such as violence towards a spouse when the man’s team loses a sports game.
There is no equivalent for women at that scale. We as men have to own these realities.
I think I did, with time left on the clock!
