Abstract
Recent evidence suggests that we empathize with others, in the sense of spontane-
ously imitating them, from birth. Feminist psychologists and others have also
pointed out how men, as boys, might be socialized into defending against such
fellow-feeling, whilst women, as girls, are socialized into negating themselves in
empathizing with others as daughters, lovers, and mothers.
