Pronouns???

For some people, even in a marginalized group, that kind of thing isn't important and that's great for them. But for some people, it is important and it doesn't take much to show some basic empathy.

I think when people start bringing up empathy what they're really doing, intentionally or unintentionally, is trying to apply a form of peer pressure to get the result that they desire either for themselves, another individual/group or merely to feel better about themselves.

There's also, arguably, such a thing as too much empathy. I'd also generally advise against assuming that everybody here is free of their own set of problems in life. I'd be surprised if you could find someone who didn't have any personal issues to deal with in their day to day life.
