It's an article for men on how to deal with women, right? I could just as well say that it rests on the assumption that most people on this forum are straight males and the stereotype that women are strange creatures who require appeasement with nonsensical holidays and fuss or we will become irrationally angry. I personally don't much care for mother's day. But such a complaint on my part would rest on projection and a ridiculous degree of paranoia, no?

I personally somewhat assumed that more of the articles were written for males because of the 4:1 or such (5:1 for AS in particular is last I've heard, it might have changed though) diagnosis rate of autism spectrum disorders.

So having a "for men" and not a "for women" sometimes wasn't exactly surprising.
