The title is a clever misdirection. In the article, it refers to a (claimed) tendency for society at large to react more empathically to perceived discomfort among women than among men.
Edit: Although according to wikipedia "empathy gap" seems to mean something quite different from either what I was expecting or the way it's used in the article.
- infinity0 9y agoGiven all the recent articles about "techies have less empathy" I stopped reading before I got to the end, assuming it would be another one of those. But thanks for pointing out that in fact it was talking about something else (and I largely agree). Yes, wikipedia's "empathy gap" does seem to be talking about something else yet again.
