I’m a Man. No one forces me to lie.

No one.

Because, I’m a Man.

Maybe it’s possible to force little boys to do things. I don’t remember being a little boy who was forced to do things. It was a long time ago, and my memory is of being resistant to coercion, even as a child.

But The Women has a point. If he says that he is “forced to lie,” then we have to take his word for it. he is the best position to understand whatever bargains he makes to surrender his own agency, and the fact that he lives a dishonest life controlled by others.

And that’s gotta stink.
