What about woman-ipulation?
Everybody is talking about manipulation, some about faci-pulation but what about woman-ipulation? Some definitions…
Facipulation:
- facipulation: To use facilitation to manipulate a desired outcome. Basically it’s what consultants do. They get employees to do what their company wants them to do, while making the employee think it’s their idea. (via)
- Or “Facipulation” - the art of facilitating with a hidden agenda.” (via)
- “We should recognize as well that there is nothing extra clever in using facipulation, it is in many ways a last resort when we have not suceeded through the use of pure facilitation” (via)
Womanipulation:
- “What a woman does when she needs her man to do something for her. Often involves batting eyelashes and making faces. ” (via)
- “The Rules for “capturing the heart of Mr. Right” (via)
- Ars amatoria Buch III: “Womanipulation”: Nachdem der praeceptor amoris zu Beginn der Ars nur die Unterweisung des Mannes angekündigt hat (I34-40), sagt er nach Beendigung des Lehrgangs ganz überraschen (II745f.): Sieh an, es bittend die zwarten Frauen, ich möge Ihnen Lehren erteilen. Um euch werde ich mich in meinem nächsten Buch kümmern.” Ovid, von Niklas Holzberg
