To put it simply, gatekeeping is an act when someone takes it upon themselves to decide who does or does not have access or rights to a community or identity ("You can't be a real Phoebe Bridgers fan, you just discovered her. Real fans follow her since at least Stranger in the Alps.") If this sounds ridiculous to you, don't worry. You're not alone.

There's a subreddit called r/GatesOpenComeOnIn and it describes itself as the polar opposite of gatekeeping. Created in 2018, this online community collects and shares pictures of wholesome acts of kindness when people had each other's backs. Whether it's encouraging everyone to share their Spotify Wrapped or simply allowing someone to feel tired, it doesn't take much to acknowledge another person's emotions, thoughts, experiences, values, and beliefs. Continue scrolling and check out how it's done.

I fully understand what you are going through, from my personal experience (Socialist Romania, when we had to have 4 and then 5 children each before having a legal abortion = result? thousands of dead or maimed women, mentally scared for life).

I personally couldn't have chosen the abortion and all my kids are loved. But I really do understand why someone wants to choose differently so I am with the same page as this man. Pro-choice!

More importantly, anti-choice is the opposite view. Not pro-life. Pro-life is a lie the anti-choice crowd use to deceive people.

There are always situations that requiring abortion for the health of the mother or baby, I didn't know I was pregnant when I was given Acutane, having to have that abortion destroyed me. Abortion isn't a viable choice for birth control, which seems to driving the numbers up.

Nailed it. There’s a reason it’s called Pro-Choice, not Pro-Abortion. It’s the CHOICE that we’re at risk of losing, so it’s the real point here, not the medical procedure. To compound this, the same people who want to take away our choice also want to take away most of what will prevent unwanted pregnancies in the first place. Except for their own mistresses, that is.

Nice argument but a big fail. Choice is ONLY discussed in the context of access to abortion. Yes it should be discussed in the larger context of, as a mature adult woman you have the choice NOT to get pregnant but that requires you actually do something proactive rather than defaulting to getting an abortion. Or taking actual responsibility for your decisions such as having sex without protection. Unfortunately the vast majority of women use 'pro choice' as a 'get out of jail free card and I don't have to take any responsibility for things that just happen' You don't just 'happen' to get pregnant

People forget that when the first laws legalizing abortion were passed in the U.S., it wasn't because everyone loves aborting babies. It was because of the horrible and heart-breaking stories of young teenaged girls getting the back-alley abortions and often dying from the procedure. And guess where most of that happened -- in the most deeply conservative religious areas, because they are always the worst about suppressing information about how sex and pregnancy work, and wouldn't let people practice safe birth control methods. So by all means make it illegal again, we'll see all those preachers' daughters back in the alleys getting the wire-hanger treatment again, and it will all be wonderful won't it?

No, that is not what that means, it's doesn't mean I won't either, it means that I will hold any woman's hand through whatever decision she makes knowing it's right for HER and respect the s**t out of her regardless.

I'm a conservative and I have no problem if a woman wants to kill her child, but at least own it and don't pretend it is choice. Your choice started when you didn't take even reasonable and easily available ways to prevent a pregnancy (we are NOT living in 1921!). If women want to pretend that they are fully independent and responsible women, THIS isn't the way to do it. AND don't insist, using the force of government, that I must believe in your choice and not believe that you are nothing but an irresponsible git.

A lot of abortions dont come out of choice. For example if I get pregnant there is a big chance that I might die and a huge chance that the fetus will. How aborting is an option for me? Its a treatment and it should be paid by public healthcare

So, I am conflicted with the subject of abortion. On the one hand, the most libertarian of me agrees with him, but the most humanitarian part also has the question of: what about the fetus' rights? At what point is the fetus a person (and therefore has rights) and should be protected against what would be murder if it were a person? Most of the pro-abortion gloss over the fact that infants have survived "separate from the mother" as young as 21 weeks, and as neonatal care improves that number is likely to go down. At this point in time, it is legal to kill a viable fetus who, with neonatal support, could survive separate from the mother ( its a low chance, but still).

That’s I think were the struggle is. Science has proven life begins at sperm-egg fusion. . A zygote is an organism- individually constituted to carry on the activities of life by means of organs, separate in function but mutually dependent: a living being. So, from there it become a moral debate on when is it morally or legally okay to end a life.

And are you going to be there to take care of the baby? Pay all the medical bills associated with the pregnancy and the child that the mother possibly couldn't do on her own? Are you willing to adopt, feed, clothe and shelter all of these babies that you are trying to save? No? I thought so. Until you all Pro lifers and Anti Choicers start adopting all of the orphans that are in your countries to the point of there being no orphans regardless of their ages, then maybe I will give you the time of day. Until then, shut your pie hole and stop thinking only about yourself and trying to get into heaven. It's not about you, it's about women who for whatever reason and it's none of yours btw, need or want an abortion.

As you can see from the pictures, empathy goes a long way. Developing it is crucial for establishing relationships and behaving compassionately. Since empathy involves experiencing another person’s point of view, rather than just one’s own, it enables prosocial or helping behaviors that come from within, rather than being forced.

Sadly, some surveys indicate that empathy is on the decline in the United States and elsewhere. But at least these findings motivate parents, schools, and communities to support programs that help people of all ages enhance and maintain their ability to walk in each other’s shoes.

Empathy really is a superpower: it helps us cooperate with others, build friendships, make moral decisions, and intervene when we see others being bullied.

Humans usually begin to show signs of empathy in infancy and the trait develops steadily through childhood and adolescence.

That being said, most people are likely to feel greater empathy for someone like themselves and may feel less empathy for those outside their family, community, ethnicity, or race.

Like other traits, empathy may have evolved with a selfish motive: using others as a "social antenna" to help detect danger. From an evolutionary point of view, creating a mental model of another person's intent is critical: the arrival of an interloper, for example, could be deadly, so developing sensitivity to the signals of others could be life-saving.

Babies display an understanding that people’s actions are guided by intentions and can act on that understanding before they turn 18 months old, including trying to comfort a parent. Advanced reasoning about other people’s thoughts develops around age 5-6.

Experts say that people high in narcissism, or who have a narcissistic personality disorder, can exhibit empathy and even compassion. However, that ability only goes so far, as ultimately they prioritize their own needs.

Some researchers believe narcissists can become more empathetic by developing greater self-compassion, which can increase their own feelings of security and self-worth and enable them to open up to hearing others.

He also liked to play with baby doll, toy washing machine and cooking gadgets and we allowed him to play what ever he wanted. That phase has now mostly passed, but red is still his favourite colour.

"Do a thought experiment," Mark Davis, a professor of psychology who has spent decades studying empathy, said. “Imagine if humans didn’t have the capacity for empathy. What would it mean if, in fact, we never gave a damn about what happened to other people? That’s an almost an inconceivable world."

"As awful a species as we can be — and we certainly have the capacity for terrible things — we’re also capable of some pretty wonderful things, noble things, self-sacrifice."

Interestingly, the word "empathy" is relatively new. It didn’t enter the English language until the early 1900s, derived from the German word einfühlung, according to Daniel Batson, a researcher of empathy and professor emeritus at Kansas University.

While some people are more naturally empathetic than others, there are easy, evidenced-based exercises that anyone can do to increase their empathy. 

First, talk to new people. Trying to imagine how someone else feels is often not enough. Luckily, the solution is simple: ask them. "For me, the core of empathy is curiosity," Jodi Halpern, a psychiatrist and bioethics professor at the University of California, Berkeley, who studies empathy, told The New York Times. "It's what is another person’s life actually like in its particulars?”

I love this. In Germany it is forbidden by the law to look for food in supermarket dumpsters. As long as the food doesnt pose a safety hazard, the food should be donated (which some supermarkets do, but its only a few plus they have to pay tax for the food which they are donating, so not many do this).

You can start conversations with strangers or invite a colleague or neighbor you don't know well to lunch. But the trick is to go beyond small talk – ask them how they're doing and what their daily life is like.

Put away your phone and other screens when you’re having conversations, even with the people you see every day, so you can fully listen and notice their facial expressions and gestures.

Also, follow people on social media with different backgrounds than you have (different race, religion, or political persuasion).

But don’t just stand in someone else's shoes, as the saying goes—take a walk in them. For example, consider attending someone else's church, mosque, synagogue, or other houses of worship for a few weeks while they attend yours, or visit a village in a developing country and volunteer.

If you don't have enough time for these activities, you can simply explore a new neighborhood, or strike up a conversation with a homeless person in your community.

If someone’s behavior is bothering you, think about why. Consider what it’s like to live their daily life.

Remember, you don't need to understand everything about someone to make them feel respected. Just don’t make assumptions about people based on what your life is like. The people on this list certainly haven't.

We’re all humans, and we all have a desire to connect with one another. Building our empathy, considering the perspectives of others, and opening ourselves to uncomfortable conversations can make that happen.

I wish it was more universally understood that when a child is crying and reacting over 'some little thing' it is literally their whole world at that moment. Yes, even if they want something and can't have it, they are just shaken up by the dissonance inside themselves. How adults react to them teaches them buckets. Sympathy with the feelings would be a good and honest start. And there's nothing wrong with saying 'well, let's rethink if you can have it' either.

yes. I'm so underweight (77 or so when I should weigh 90-ish, I'm almost 14, my birthday is March 27!) that I had to get a blood draw to see if my digestive system worked properly, we're still waiting on the results but I think I'm ok.
