Great. Practicing effective communication skills by repeating back your understanding of someone’s statement is now an attack on their intelligence.

So... okay. You’re of above average intelligence, now you expect all people (or just men?) to treat you as if you are fully cognizant of the nuance in language?

Too often I run into a problem (with men and women) where I presume that they meant what they said, that they had a deep understanding of the words escaping their mouths. Then, when I respond based on their own words I’m met with, “That’s not what I was saying!”

And yet, that’s what you said.

Language is messy. The sampling of your comment section’s inability to comprehend the implication of your post should not be used to indict the entire male population.

And, not for nothing, but it kinda sucks that you discourage good communication skills. Confirming your meaning is not the same as implying you are someone less capable.
