the logic of feminine compulsiveness

It's the ideological blight that almost certainly assures that relationships across genders are doomed: the logic of feminine compulsiveness.

Lest you be in any doubt: it's a notion that is certainly right wing, and it seems to be every bit misandrist as it is misogynistic (which goes far towards explaining why, when it is held, the sexes do not get along.)

Women simply must be weak and compulsive, this way of thinking goes, or else they would not associate with men at all.

Or to put it in its most logical construction: Women must be thought of as being compulsive because men are repulsive. For them to stay together, a woman must overcome her natural repulsion by her virtue of her inevitable biological compulsion.

And so: if she talks on a topic that interests you, if she plays along with your game -- it must be all due to her compulsion; the notion that she has no choice.

Perhaps she really is a victim to a type of thinking that causes her to swing around your chandelier. Perhaps, in talking to you, she is quite certainly nuts -- at least the evidence points that way. She might be compulsively trapped by her hormones, or by evolutionary forces stronger than her mind (which doesn't take much doing, apparently, for it is easy for most anything to be much stronger stronger than the notion of a woman's mind, even ear wax.)

In any case, it is always and inevitably as clear as dust that when she talks to you, she doesn't like you. Rather she associates with you unfreely, because there are very negative forces that have come to drive her mind. This also means that without stopping to draw a breath, you must leap forth to control those forms of negativity with all the kinds of mental and emotional manipulation you can muster.

Nothing less would make it worthwhile.
