That's a big assumption

Assumption is required with all of those scenarios. Do you think one of the other 2 scenarios are more likely?

I think the last scenario is just misogynistic by painting the wife as hysterical/over emotional over something that (as proven by people here) a lot of people care about and found horrible

Edit: are you saying this because I used the words Highly sensitive? Google Highly Sensitive Person. Its not gendered and how some people are.

Misogynistic? I didn't expect that.

Whats with the hyperbole? Where have I said anything close to the wife being hysterical?

You've just said

something that (as proven by people here) a lot of people care about and found horrible

But because I've linked the same point to a woman, its misogynistic?

That seems like using a buzzword to kill any discussion.

Am I not supposed to consider that as a plausible explanation because it involves a female?

Personally I think its more of a reflection on how you think that anything written here.

It was more the assumed empath that made me think this, women are taught from such a young age to be extra sympathetic (for example the boy likes you that's why he pulls your hair) that it just made it seem more like it's cause it was his wife so of course she'll be emotional about it

Edit: I think that way because that's how I and majority of women I know were raised to be 'empaths'

It says assumed empathy. Not assumed empath. I was talking about the emotion, not the person.

"Assumed empathy" refers to a misunderstanding of another person's feelings, where someone incorrectly believes they understand another's emotions or situation

As a male in an industry where empathy is huge and compassion fatigue has contributed to a suicide rate of 4x the national average, it saddens me to think that this discussion of empathy is considered misogynisitic.

Your reply reads like you would more comfortable with ignoring the possibility of compassion fatigue and the risks that brings, just so we dont appear to be 'misogynisitic'.
