Here we go. Debate ends right here. All they need do is declare themselves distressed and act distressed, and they are experts at both having seen actresses demonstrate how to do it in years and years of PC soaps, and we know they are pretending, and we are all supposed to lie down and let their last word stand unchallenged like a whipped spaniel. With the uxorious males saying "yes my love, my little poppet, that's right love. there there". It's one way of getting them to put out I suppose when you have nothing else going for you.
Anybody would think it's a compliment to handle the buggers with such easy to do word confections. It's actually profoundly insulting. It's as if they are turtle doves cooing on a branch being fed parched peas.
I treat them as equals, when I pluck up the courage for such a ridiculous idea, and if they get in an argument with me I don't expect them to start simpering and hiding behind their faked fragility. They actually hold all the aces and it's only the uxorians who are conning them to believe otherwise because that represents their only chance.
As Mailer once said--if somebody is greasing you up--run.
The revolution is right there. No wonder the cops take no notice of most of them when they turn up at the front desk crying real tears.
