(29,257 posts)Namely, Hugo's ingrained strategy of sucking up to women as the "White Knight" or "sensitive male". It is ironic to see him attack other men for being poorly disguised "nice men" when it may in fact be the case that he is merely more clever in his subterfuge and camouflage.
It as if he is saying "They are not REAL 'nice men', I am!
The subtext is that (most) men are squarely creatures (all except, presumably for Hugo) who will say anything to get the sex they believe they are "entitled" to (the true chestnut in the article).
Men want sex as well as relationships and the culture that exists demands that they primarily must pursue it and that women are the 'gatekeepers' who decide whether sex happens or not. In such a context, it is hardly surprising that men will have become trained to ape and imitate what they are told women want to hear in order to "woo them".
Mocking them as sleaze bags, unintelligent, pathetic dopes is not helpful in any way in order to foster a conversation and I can see straight through Mr. Hugo. He is like a Republican Black man railing against the sins of the Welfare State at a company lunch with his white counterparts.
