The article reinforces Western Heteronormative stereotypes and tropes. The cited research is highly problematic and does not actually measure empathy, which is the process of an observer mirroring the emotional experience of a subject (look it up). Rather, the cited research studied gendered differences in the cognitive processing of the visual perception of emotion. This is not empathy. This is in fact judgement, and highly biased by subjective culturally determined cues for internal emotional states, that can in turn be wildly inaccurate. All of the cited research is riven with spurious correlation due to underlying unmeasured cultural and social determinants. Given the current state of available research, the only fair thing that can be said is that there exists gendered differences in the expressions, offerings, and reception of empathy. Other than that, the research is garbage.
