I've come up with the best description I can think of for the method of manipulation which is most often employed by females in an attempt to control males: guilt abuse. It's pretty simple - basically females often do what the Catholic Church was so good at doing: guilt-tripping people (men) into behaving according to their guidelines. Females will insinuate anything - that men are losers, that the men in their life are weak, that the men in their life are gay, that the men in their life are inadequate, that the men in their life and all men are animals, that the men in their life are inferior, that the men in their life unintelligent -- anything to debase the self-esteem of the males in their life, in order to control them.
This may be a rudimentary concept to most readers, but it's something that I have been gradually discovering over the past few years - due to a certain female employing such tactics on me. The most important aspect of the method is that it is a pure power play - and should be combatted. The best way to fight it is to first recognize it and accept it. Once it is recognized, it is up to the male to remain strong and dominant. It may sound funny, but females will unabashedly use any and all artillery at their disposal to try to undermine males in their life - no matter how much love is or is not involved -- IT IS THEIR NATURE. This is why some men claim that "All women are evil." Evil is not an accurate description of women. Ruthless is more like it.
Black people employ exactly the same mechanism on white people. But I am no longer guilty.
