being lectured down to is unpleasant
.. especially by dominatrix types like Coulter - but note: if you try paying this type of personality the compliment of dealing with them as equals, ignoring sexual stereotypes and thus giving no quarter - resisting & matching their own verbal aggression as you would to a man - you can actually get into real trouble. Her basic desire is not for equality or genuine communication, but only to win, and thus to dominate. Deal with this sort of person as a true equal and you can incur wrath not only from her but from her jellybacked admirers as well, who will see you as 'unchivalrous'. Best to just ignore them IMHO.
