Well, it's a lie OF self preservation. A feint.

But to your point, if men don't enjoy being lied to in this manner, then they shouldn't immediately fall into manipulative and badgering tactics to get what they want after being told no. Absolutely. Once you've adopted some kind of chicanery, you have no right to complain about whatever response you get being unethical. The hell?

Those double standards will no longer be accepted.

I saw that article. I was at work so I didn't respond. This article is a good rebuff, I wish you had tagged it as such.
