Projection is where you think someone else is feeling or behaving in a particular way when actually they’re your feelings or behavior. Negative transference is similar to scapegoating and blame shifting.

Have we learned anything ?

MANSPLAINING is the label that fits.

If you recall Jack Nicholson’s character in the movie As good as it gets. When asked by a woman how he writes women so well, Nicholson responds ” I just think of a man, then I take away reason and accountability.”

Womansplaining, evidenced in many of the comments above.

When you disqualify someone by saying they are “mansplaining”, just because they are a man, you also disqualify yourself. How would you “feel” if I said you were womansplaining?

How twisted is that?

This is a letter that needed to be written and which all must learn from. And you’ll notice the one gentleman who has obsessively posted the most comments here – as he does on every coyote letter nationwide – is the person who feels the most threatened that his killing rights might be diminished. Do not be swayed by his mansplaining, his gaslighting, and his jabs at your ability to combine logic, facts, and healthy, empathetic emotion into appropriate and ethical decision making.

Thank you for speaking up for coyote.

If I was ever to find myself single again, I can’t imagine even dating. Most of the women I work with seem incredibly unpleasant outside of work. The stay-at-home mother types I see at church or my son’s High School activities seem nice – but most of them outweigh me.

So some men hunt. Having, in effect, killed traditional masculinity in the western world, the feminist women (or should I say “womyn”?) now complain loudly, asking “Where have all the cowboys gone?” Hypocrisy doesn’t even begin to describe it…. But don’t shoot the coyotes !

All of this reminds me of something I’ve noticed when dealing with feminist women. The best thing is to dominate them. It is not only the best approach in the moment, but it opens a door for them to escape the torment of modernity. In the company of feminists, I often begin talking about repealing the 19th Amendment. I’m polite, but firm. The results are always positive. The reason is, modern women, like our feminist hero, are living lives of bitter isolation, an isolation from who they are as women. They are looking to escape it.

They also say ” How dare you hunt those innocent creatures !” Just tell them you are saving birdies.

You can’t reason with people that value their feelings as much as logic. Voting for Home Rule “Feels” good, so they did. Voting for unnecessary funding for non profits “Feels” good, so they vote accordingly. Killing predators “Feels” bad, so they go with their feelings. They are idiots, and their vote cancels yours and mine.

Facts and logic are strangers to them. Ask them about the Kardashians.
