There is some research indicating that people, who acquire power, wealth, and/or influence, sometimes fall victim to self-affirmation fallacies that reduce their empathy with others, especially subordinate or relatively powerless others. This is explored int he work of Paul Piff and others. It may be that this is not just a class problem, justifying exploitation of the poor, but also an issue among men and women, even in places like academics and other places of employment. With exploring, perhaps.
