So, you are talking to someone of a particular bent (e.g., me!) and nothing you do seems to work to get any closer to something that might be described as a conversion? Here's some observations I made on what doesn't work with me:

Good Girl Inflation: Yes, "good girl" can be immensely powerful. If you deploy that weapon for trivial reasons, though, you are risking just annoying me. It is likely to work much better if you have reasonable grounds to think that I might feel like I have done or said something for which I ought to feel ashamed, which in turn can allow a well timed bit of praise to throw me into confusion and suggestability. Alternatively, if you managed to maneuver me into an honest confession of something I tried to keep hidden, that can also be worth a good girl. But, basically, keep it rare enough that it retains value!

It's 2024!: There's really no point in confronting me with simple and plainly false notions of supposed female intellectual inferiority, or with observations about how men tend to be physically stronger, if you want to deploy that as a simple argument for something like a right to rule. Like, yes, I know you could likely physically push me around, but so what? Are you a bully or something?

If you want to play around with my conception of myself as someone of basic cognitive competence, you might be better served by pointing out that I can be made stupid, in some specific and bounded way. If you want to give emphasis to physical difference, you could point out how that might have unavoidable consequences in how men and women relate to one another. Hell, you could even dress a combination of those things up intellectually and try to argue for something like an Aristotelian notion of a disposition towards natural slavery. Just don't come across as stupid by trying to call me stupid, that's a serious mood killer!

Trade goes two ways: So, if you want to sell me on traditional gender roles as, like, a great deal for me, you actually have to talk up my end of the bargain. It's not sufficient to claim that I'd be much happier, when everything I am told just sounds tiresome. You don't have to believe everything you tell me (within the context of this game), but if your goal is to manipulate me, you actually have to do that!

That's all for now. Thank you for listening to my TED talk! 💕 And girls, if you have your own pro tips, I am sure they'd be appreciated. I guess it might also be an exercise in gender treason, so that might make it appealing to some of you weirdos, too. 🤔
