You are a man. You are the only creature on this planet fit to accomplish anything of worth. And because of that, the rest of the world will always try to twist your mind, or twist your arm; to force you, by deception or by threat of imprisonment, to accomplish their goals instead of your own. Learn to recognize when this is happening, and take back control of your life, so you can do the things that YOU want to do.

Manipulation

  • What are the tools?
  • How are they used?
  • Why are men falling for them?
  • Are women evil for using them?
  • Should you always fight being manipulated?

Twisting your arm is a masculine skill. Stronger men, better armed men, men with money who pay you can coerce you to act. These are things we know, things we understand, and things we can deal with. You can use your fists, or you can use the law. You can use it to give a stable rule-set; a level playing field. Stable rules allow you to work at your peak. Some types force is for your benefit, some is not; but they are known, and you have the tools to deal with them.

Women don't have force, women have manipulation. Referred to in short-hand as womaneese:

The same way one lifts weights, practices at the shooting range, and learns the law, one needs awareness of womaneese.

Five techniques used to get a man to acquiesce.
