What would Dolly do?

I'm assuming it's a secular alternative to WWJD, substituting Dolly Parton for Jesus. Elementally it means, respond to adversity by demonstrating that you're not being dragged into negativity and moving on instead. Perhaps my puffing up your chest or holding your head high. Or just because you feel like doing those things, regardless of any adversity.
Inevitably highjacked by faux feminist and pop feminists with self-congratulatory memes about achievements that aren't gender specific.
Person one: "My partner done gone and left me for another woman. what would Dolly do?"
Person two: "Correct your grammar and self-reflect, don't be judgemental or infer that everyone of a certain gender act the same way" *sprays hair heavily and moves on*

what would you do in this situation?

A statement said when there is a nothing you can realistically do in a situation.

Often responded simply as "Id need to intervene"
"Hey John what would you do in this situation?"
(Shows video of a semi hauler truck falling down a cliff during a blizzard)
"I'd have to intervene!"

Empathy for one. In the absence of empathy, if the amount of energy takes for you to get me to do a thing supersedes the amount of energy required for the thing to be done then it wouldn't be practical for you to make me do the thing. Additionally, my awareness of my own mortality makes it impossible for me to be perpetually made to do thing because I can always just kill myself. It incentivizes harming you and the things you care about. It gives your enemies a de-facto ally. But it's intriguing that you think that there is only one reason...
JeerpJoop "If I can make you do what I want and get away with it, why should I not?"

Hym "Well, for starters, there's more than one reason. Secondly, you literally can't. You can only leverage (either) my desire to live against performing the act OR the hope that I may not have to continue doing it indefinitely. Which is how you get people to stay in your suffering cult. You leverage their desire to live and their hope that their suffering will end to get them to do what you want or behave how you want to behave. It's actually kind of illuminating to because if you're God rewards screwing people over then is it not evil? Sounds evil. It ties back into you not actually believing in God but rather believing that God is on your side and that it will forgive you if you do the opposite of what it said."

Do you feel better about your religion or something? THAT is what I want to have a therapist explain.
Hym "Does it make them feel better about it happening to them? What do you get out of doing that? It's gotta be something along those lines."
