Some of them are not empowering at all.

Some interesting quote that some people should actually know is "emotion does not invalidate purpose, it informs it". it is from the game the fall 2 unbound.

The context is a long story so I will keep it short: The robot buttler had depression and was convinced that he can't have both emotions and a life's purpose at once, so since he has a purpose in life he must not have any emotions. When arid made him realize that he does have emotions he paniced, that's when she told him that.
