Speaking as the mother of a teenage boy, I can tell you that there is nothing more calculated to make a boy do the opposite of what you want than to present your request in the voice of an angry, emotional woman.
(And by the same token, if a woman will drop her voice an octave and speak slowly and with warmth and approval, she can also get him, or any heterosexual male, to do almost anything.)
Why do all conservative women seem to have this figured out? My daughters and wife can play me like a violin. This is the first time I've figured out why.
Wow, you do have us figured out, don’t you?
If liberals wanted us to join them, they’d have to figure that out as well, but thankfully they only trust vitriolic hatefulness, not reason and rational thought.
Screws things up when one tries to change the natural God-ordained order of things....
God Bless and MOLON LABE!
