Meh. I volunteered for many years with a rape crisis/domestic violence agency. The advocates’ ideas of what to do with perps was only slightly less “interesting” than the therapists’.
Fun fact: During that time I knew every business in town that was open 24 hours, well-lighted, and populated enough to be a safe meeting place.
That’s super easy where I live: the cop shop, the fire station, the hospital, five of the eight gas stations, and Denny’s… and that’s all she wrote.

Empathy. Feelings. The trump cards of post-modern “thought”.
Their mother might have a somewhat different view. Such as when she’s overhauling a transmission on an ex-Federal vehicle.
All the Feds I ever worked with thought vehicle maintenance was for lesser beings. They were constantly gobsmacked when their Tahoes and etc. ended up in the shop due to them not having them oil-changed and lubed when the owner’s manual said they should.
But rest assured that they had all the correct “feelings” about, you know, “things”.

Yet another conversation Zed is glad to not be part of.
Formerly, men did not withdraw as a group after dinner for a nightcap to be exclusive. They did it to protect their own tender sensibilities.
Ever overhear the conversation a group of women who are nurses?
