You might look at this question and go "duh", why is it even a word then? Why is that concept mentioned and emphasized everywhere? But I theorize it's actually meant to force others to pretend to be cooperative and the concept is valued as a form of self deception, so people can believe they are good. Occasionally you have the do gooder types who try to prove this to themselves and others through their actions. But in reality they don't care about the actual people they are supposed to be helping, only about doing the specific task to help their image, make themselves feel good or as some form of masochistic self punishment or religious ideal. You might claim they are empathetic towards chads and women but that's just simpering because they have higher status or it's in their self interest to do so. Think of how society regards low status men, who have nothing to offer others, does anyone feel empathy towards their suffering, even other low status men don't care. Sure they'll pretend to be helpful by giving out useless advice, either to make themselves look good or feel superior, but they are too busy to even give us a moment of their time and actually be accepting, caring or affectionate.
