Batting their eyelashes is a good way for women to break my illusion that I'm dealing with equals. To me, it means, "Unlike you, I am attractive and desirable as a partner. Don't even dream of interacting with me any more closely than strictly whatever external circumstances force me to tolerate, and bear in mind I can easily summon someone more than capable of beating the s**t out of you, and more than willing to chivalrously rid me of the nuisance you are. Watch out!".
That was a cheeky fun comment aimed at Drawyer. I understand a person anger at the mating game, it's mostly cruel, with rules made long ago, without human consent, but my nature. Sex is not equal and righteous, neither is birth and death. I don't think there is much point in targeting individuals who don't don't play fairly in a rigged game. The same way I don't hate the guys or girls who use a person for their gratification. I don't like the injustice of sexual relations, but I'm not perfect, and I don't know anyone who is, so I try to hate the situation we find ourselves in, and not the person, if I possible can.
