I almost did that yesterday, but realized that there's no way I wouldn't be recognizable.
However, I will dispute your implication that I'm a "masculinist" - I'm merely against the idea that anyone has a "right" over the thoughts of others, or a right to not have their feelings hurt.... especially in a forum whose purpose is to help people get over their irrationality. Here, we should be talking about how to disconnect our buttons, rather than how to insist that other people stop pushing them.
This is incorrect. You are not supposed to turn insensitive to your own preferences.
It sounds to me like pjeby is talking about knee-jerk emotional reactions, not preferences.
Correct. At least in my usage of language, a "preference" is something that you don't feel "bad" about when it's not met; you merely feel an absence of "good".
IOW, it's bad enough that your preference isn't met, without feeling bad on top of it.
