"But see, a lot of these vicious debates in gender-spheres happen because of vague-language like this. What you call "clinical" is absolutely necessary if dialogue is to be constructive. Contrary to feminist-dogma, men and women understand and communicate differently. So a lot of men misread the harassment complaints as someone having said "Never ever flirt with women" And the men are like "WTF? you now want to outlaw flirting!?!?!" The other side then shout back "what you damn idiot, we never told you not to flirt, we said not to harass!!!!" and then all communication goes apeshit. "because it feels like such a natural process," That's because you haven't been a heterosexual male. This is one of the privileges you enjoy when you're not a het male. When things go right, you get to feel it was natural and "it just happened". What you don't realize is that the man pro-actively made it happen and probably consciously acquired that skill to make those steps that you take for granted...." - Alek
