00:05Emotion is like a button and everybody knows where your buttons are.

00:09Anybody can come and press that button and get the desired output from you.

00:12I want to please you, I know what pleases you.

00:14I can come and say, oh, you're looking gorgeous.

00:16The button has moved.

00:17And immediately you'll be prepared to do me a favor.

00:20Great danger in being emotionally reactive.

00:39it's then that they acquire some feminine qualities.

00:42Otherwise, men remain inferior to women.
