LydiaS: I want to make sure I understand this
And hey, Anonymous, the idea that feminism has somehow forced men to resort to trickery is not only misogynistic, it's absurd.
So what you are saying, is that if I hold certain views towards feminism, I hate all women, is that right?
Or if I think that in response to feminism, men might have changed how they interact with women, I hate all women, is that right?
This word misogyny, you use it a lot, but I do not think it means what you think it means.
By the way LydiaS, when you take a breath from shrieking "misogyny misogyny misogyny" (you sound like Steve Ballmer by the way, with the same sweaty armpits), (http://www.google.com/search?q=developers+developers)anyway, when you get a breath, you may wish to reread my letter. I never once said feminists forced this. I said feminists identified that nice guys need more self-confidence and here is a class that teaches that. How is that trickery?
It's not a whole lot different than visualization techniques. And it's not a whole lot different than discussing the best ways to get a raise, or the best ways to get your husband/boyfriend to rotate your tires or change your oil or take you to a chick flick or marry you.
LydiaS, I assume you never do any of those things. Never read any of the Cosmo articles, etc., on how to speak to other people.
