RE: "there is no other war that compares"
You continue to convey empathy towards victims of only one war, the one that impacted your ancestors, and you continue to avoid conveying any empathy to victims in any other wars/historical abuses.
RE: "you are missing the point"
No, actually you continually are missing my point. I'm the person here that's initiated the point that you are showing no empathy towards victims of any other wars. Even after I point this out, you continue to show no empathy towards victims of any other wars. This is truly bizarre and almost scary. Do you realize what my point is about and what I am seeking? I'm seeking an acknowledgement from you that victims of other wars deserve your empathy just as much as victims of your selected war. Have you ever talked to anyone that 'lived' in a concentration camp? I have, and I am absolutely positive she would never had your lack of empathy. There is something wrong with your thinking here - you should talk to a religious leader and ask the question, "should I have just as much empathy towards victims of other wars as the victims in the Holocaust?" I virtually guarantee you their answer will make you think more.
RE: "so you are talking of past victimization of women? LOL"
Typical statement from a person that appears to lack human compassion.
RE: "how would reconcile your monetory claims"
And how would you reconcile monetary claims for ALL victims of historical abuses for slavery, British Empire, witches, Mexico, etc etc and those victims of historical abuses that are still living today. Or, do only victims of your selected war worthy for preferential treatment?
RE: "I respect feminists but not not when feminism becomes militant/extreme"
One of the reason why feminism hasn't moved far at all, is because women as a group statistically are not militant/violent. Typically, history has yielded much quicker rights to those groups of people that have been militant, e.g. Americans slaughtering the Indians and stealing their land, etc etc. Women have simply showed more patience and (fortunately) less violence, and fortunately they only seek equality, rather than world domination.
RE: "may help your cause"
No, it's not "my" cause. It's also "your cause" too, assuming you have a mother, sister, or daughter that you care about. Or, maybe you lack empathy and don't care.
I think you may have an empathy problem for anyone other than yourself.
RE: "BTW how good is your math ability - since you brought it up"
I was the only one in the history of Microsoft that ever got a complicated combinatorics problem correct during a 12 hour/day multi-day interview at Microsoft, according to the hiring managers.
I'll end this post by repeating what my point is (which keeps soaring over your head): my point is you appear to be showing a lack of empathy for victims of other wars. If you don't have empathy for victims for any other wars, you would be considered to be a person that lacks empathy, which would be a concern. Do you, or do you not, have empathy for victims of any other wars? That is my question.
