Hm, I noticed quite a number of explanations, actually, not all of which were incoherent before he changed his tune.
Yes, and I'm absolutely convinced that the non-incoherent explanations were a significant factor in him changing his tune. Not least because he acknowledges them in the bit where he changes his tune.
Personally, I wouldn't have given a toss if he'd said that it was a fun thing he and his (male and female) cronies came up with - it was the attempt to imply that it should be a universal thing that got everyone's backs up.
Maybe so, but a little personal context is here. This is the same man who talks about how a happy marriage is based on the same principles as a winning Magic deck. He's pretty much incapable of opening his mouth without claiming to have unlocked the secrets of a happier society. While there's generally a grain of truth in what he has to say, a generous helping of salt does not go astray.
I'm disappointed in the people who have been reading him for years (I know with certainty that one of the orchestrators of the feminist reaction was reading him in 2003) that linked to his post and screamed bloody murder. They should have known better.
