The empathy failure that blames the victims in bullying cases just compounds the damage. It's of a piece with the conservative willingness to blame the victim in rape cases, and turn a deaf ear to complaints of racial and sexual harassment. There is a side of conservatism that seems to consistently defend pushing people around--that seems indeed to want to do it.
