Corri He doesn't want to piss me off... or get it wrong... or do something stupid.

Cac4 anyway, for as long as I can remember:
"Aggressive" is bad.
"Aggressive" is a serious threat to your life, freedom, and property.
"Aggressive" = date rape.
"Aggressive" will land you in jail.
Yeah, dammit, you better ask permission, lest you find yourself in big, big trouble.
You don't have to even actually "be" aggressive. Just ask a young dr. named William Smith...or the entire Duke U. lacrosse team. All a young lady has to do is wake up and find herself unhappy with her behavior the night before, and decide she wants to re-write history, and your life is ruined.

I've even seen propaganda films made for male college students that don't just imply, but state explicitly: "you must ask p e r m i s s i o n". for every step. "May I hold your hand?" "May I kiss you?" "May I touch..."

Glad you brought that up.

Some W's think those rules apply to the M.

I don't care how characters like Deida or Dr. Laura define "manliness". I don't think you really want to go back there.
Few would get away with the John Wayne act.

Mojo I'm starting to get p*ssed off at the LDW of the world again (which is a shame after I worked so hard to gain compassion and a feeling of sisterhood) because they've messed up all these middle-aged guys they spent time married to.
It is a problem Jenny. I am looking for solutions to my situation. I know the "Lifetime Network, the co-dependency and other politically correct movement got men and women to where they are today.
