The amount of tone-policing you've received for this comment absolutely floors me. My perception from this thread is that men can say whatever offensive thing they want about women, but as soon as someone says something that might be slightly harsh in defense, suddenly people care about the tone of the argument. Suddenly you're "attacking."

My comment really does mostly come from the perspective of 'why not try to increase the effectiveness of your communication', not policing tone.

Ah, the good old "whoever disagrees with me MUST be a man" argument.

Pro-tip: women are capable of independent thinking. Some of them are not going to agree with what you decree is best for them.
