I've noted that when a woman consoles another woman she often will reflexively agree with literally everything the distressed woman says. This, in my opinion, is neither compassionate nor sympathetic: It's just patronizing.

But it is the root of so much today as everything is agreed to in order to console. No matter how ridiculous or how contradictory. "Self identification" being just latest thing to be enforced in order to avoid upset.
