Sometimes I come up with the most stupid analogies, but man my brain got locked into this idea of how what I learned in training my dog--the part about emotional control--is exactly what we learn is a good way to treat other people in relationships, so I couldn't resist writing that. But yeah, I definitely risked sounding patronizing to men. I apologize. Thank you for recognizing that I'm really a big believer in people needing to treat each other more kind. Why be against animal cruelty yet be cruel to the people--the men--we love? Anyway...I resolve to come up with less-patronizing analogies that don't involve comparing men to slow horses and disobedient dogs in the future:)
