If not, it will almost certainly be a well manicured nail that makes a man WANT to push the button.
One simple fact, ladies. If you want to drain a man's life force every day, you are going to have to put some back or bad things will happen. It's like a credit card. The bill comes due some day.
Oh, for God's sake, would you misogynists PLEASE go gay and do us women a big favour???
If you really think we are so vile, then stick to your own kind, will you? Thanks.

So why do women continue to put up with it?
Because society in general, and men in particular, reward women for being pretty and well-dressed.
I put effort into looking good because I want the sociological advantages that come along with it. As an aspie, it's particularly important, because an attractive appearance hypnotizes people into overlooking the fact I'm different.
That will work for men too, but it's especially important for women. The highest-paid women in our society are models and actresses, and that isn't because of the books they read, or their creative hobbies.
[Edited for full disclosure: I also have a clothing perseveration.

We men WANT to give you flowers etc, but that's not a right on your part. You have to make us feel like giving you flowers.
It's got nothing to do with rights.
It's got to do with the fact we would rather date the guys who buy us dinner and give us flowers, than the guys who huffily inform us it's not our right.
We have that choice. That's why you hate us.
