I wouldn't bother to reply to this horse**** at all, except that I find it
interesting that what is so silly about this is the same as what's so silly
about many theories about sexism and language. In each case we are told
positively that someone has a certain *unconscious* attitude. To which I
ask, if it's unconscious, how the hell do *you* know so much about it??

It's even more ludicrous in this example because a man is pretending to
know what a woman unconsciously wants. Perhaps it's really what Mr. Kim
wants women to want, eh?  Eh?  Eh?
