We might further caution her that taking the deviant as the norm is the tell-tale mark that gives liberal public policy such an evil name. Assuming she is still with us, the feminist will insist that, if we must have courtship and marriage, they should be a partnership between equals, with the women just as entitled as the man to seek her interests and demand her rights. The first feminist commandment, after all, is that There Shall Be No Double Standards. This is what The Rules say is a big mistake. You made it too easy.
Men love a challenge, they say over and over.
In fact, by making yourself a supreme challenge to a man, he will value you always because he put too much of his energy into getting you. Don t be a drill sergeant. Being with you in bed should not be difficult or demanding. Many a weary male veteran of the wars of sexual liberation remembers such seminars, always with a wince of pain. The feminist response to the success of The Rules interests me as a professional logician, since I am intrigued by what people say when faced with a definitive refutation of their views.
