Men are from Vengence

In the article, “Men are from Vengeance” by William Saletan, there is an emphasis on whether men are more vengeful than empathetic. There is a lot of scientific research and statistic done in this article to support Saletans view on the more vengeful side of men and their lack of empathy. William Saletan uses various patterns of comparing and contrasting men to women in order to portray whether men in fact do have less empathy and more “schadenfreud”, which is taking joy in the suffering of someone who is disliked. Saletan additionally puts men in particular situations to measure how much compassion men have and to what degree to prove his central point. In the article it is evident that men are less empathetic than women and there is no wrong in stating so.
