"Keep to the 'I-statements' and discuss your feelings, she lectured herself. I think, I feel. Don't be accusatory. Don't tell him that he is an insecure prick who should back off before you deck him. Instead, say, 'I feel you are acting like an insecure prick who should back off before I deck you."

"I see no reason that a man should have any issue with worshiping a goddess any more than a woman would in worshiping a male deity.
