Q: How do you say “weasel” in French?
A: L’Homme Fatale!
an Homme’s emotional side is a learned part of his manipulation, not an authentic sentimentality.
Back in the olden days we used to call them a**holes.
UPDATE
“I do think that the appellation ‘Hommes Fatales’ is a newer iteration of the more classic term ‘Head F*ck’.” Yup.

Yeesh. What a despicable creature. How thoroughly sick I am…
…of women who reserve solely for themselves the privilege of changing one’s mind!
Isn’t it even thinkable that the narrator of this tale of woe might have had a few flaws of her own? Maybe serious flaws that surfaced over time, such that the “villain” of the piece came to realize that he and she could not be? Why must her story be believed, automatically, while his, which was not told, isn’t even considered?
Verbum sat sapienti.
Indeed you’re right, Francis.
There have been players from either gender all along, and both sides have plenty of manipulators who use emotion.
Now you must tell me, please, what Verbum sat sapienti means.
