(6,151 posts)what a man really thought about feminism. You do know some will lie in hopes of a lay, don't you? Well, referring to the Higher Power as 'she' proved a dead giveaway. Watch for the immediate micro-expression when that first falls on their ears. You'll learn a lot. If it was somebody I didn't think would care one way or another because they might not be the least bit religious, I might smile my sweetest and ask who he liked better, Pig Boy or Gloria Steinhem? Oh, the garden paths I escaped with that ruse. Better not to start down that road in the first place.
