Colin, You are a clearly a talented writer. I have read your articles before and been intrigued.

But you must know that this manipulative behavior has nothing to do with gender, right? The story you regaled readers with - I have been on the other end of it with men expecting me to cow tail to their wishes. This is just your garden variety Machiavellianism.

Not sure if playing the gender war card makes you think you will get more eyeballs on your work but you don't need to stoop to those tactics.

Other people do. You don't. Please don't go there again.

Expecting more from you.
