You're not having a a conversation with Patsy. You just got patted on the head and sent on your way with the platitude you were looking for because you're one of those guys and she wants you out of her hair.

Patsy's an older gal; that's the best way she knows to deal with guys like you because she knows you're just a distraction.

The conversation she wanted to have was the one that the article was about. You're like a toddler whining that he lost his lovey or arguing that you shouldn't have to eat your peas because they touched your mashed potatoes.

She's trying to have a discussion about violence and petty demands and you're asking to be managed because it made you uncomfortable.
