women are natural egoists their whole lives. they only care about "their own" and are never deluded about ideology, duty and sacrifice like young men are. they are noted for making tremendous efforts and sacrifices to protect their children in most cases, but this comes from the feeling that the child is their precious property, not out of any sense of self-sacrifice. but it is worth noting that men are also atavistic in their childhood, focusing on their immediate appetites, and once they reach their late 30s become like women, being primarily concerned with "their own" and caring little for ideology beyond maintaining a good public face for whatever achievements they won in their deluded youth. a father at this age will trash any ideal to save even one little child of his own, any bit of his own precious property. so in fact, these ideals of "empathy," or "duty," or "self-sacrifice," are temporary delusions exclusive to young men. in this way we can see that it's not the women who are strange, but the young men. a man has a long period in his youthful adulthood where he is suddenly possessed by demons and angels which drive him to ignore himself and pledge his life to some greater power. some chasm suddenly yawns open in the young man's heart, some deep inadequacy that must be filled in with a great spiritual struggle and test of his character. if he survives, he will stabilize, come back to himself. if he dies, well, that's better than living with the abyss. why complain about the splinter in a woman's eye when you don't even have an eye?
