Andreas (Jayen466) summed up <https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Lightbreather/Proposed_decision&diff=prev&oldid=671687397> the problem well yesterday, when he described the lack of empathy for women's perspectives, an inability to identify with women.
