An urban predator pushed a 76-year-old retired teacher down the subway stairs, killing him. It wasn’t his first attack. A woman he attacked earlier refused to cooperate with prosecutors. She told a newspaper: “Maybe a part of me was just like, I don’t want to put another black man in jail.”
Really.
There is a well-known extreme version of woke ideology - “suicidal empathy” - where those infected prefer virtue signaling to their own survival. This is a first cousin: “homicidal empathy,” aka “accomplice” or “accessory.” This is a direct admission that wokeism, and woke women in particular, kills.
Now it’s true that she’s not alone. Even if she had cooperated, the NY court system might have let him go anyway. And the killing happened just an hour after he’d been released from a psych evaluation at a NYC hospital. But the fact remains that an innocent man is dead because of a virulent liberal philosophy.

Some people dislike being a crime victim, but they hate the cops more.

In this particular case, it may be more appropriate to characterize this woman's actions as homicidal empathy.

What if we called it "toxic femininity" ? Is it possible that term could get public traction and help turn around this social disease of big chunks of the public wanting to tolerate criminality among certain demographic groups? Leftist cities are more dangerous than they should be because of "toxic femininity".

Do we have to turn this into another men vs. women thing? I have frankly had enough of that.
