The problem is that we have trained them to not use any empathy. Empathy makes you weak!
The change you suggest here looks small — to anyone who HAS the skills of empathy & practices using them.
But to these guys who’ve been generationally conditioned NOT to care — Because caring is weakness — And weak men fail… ?
THIS is why more guys aren’t just jumping on board. It’s a problem of equating masculinity with gruff, disinterested macho bullshit. They are not the same!
We need empathy and collaboration classes in school. Stat.
Oh, and a rewrite of the entire cultural narrative of Good Guys vs Bad Guys. Fight. Boom. Win!
