This article is stupid nonsense.
I agree that "Boys are taught from a young age that asking for what they want is the best way to get it, while girls are encouraged to use our “feminine wiles” to maneuver our way into what our heart desires. " Not always, but unfortunately I see this in many families and I see many women who have been educated like this.
I agree that many women use such a way of communicating indeed.
And I agree (I know from experience) that a woman not using such a way of communicating might be given some unpleasant names
BUT:
Not all women communicate like this... that's clear.
That we are given some unpleasant names is not a reason to do something stupid like saying "I don't feel like talking" when I mean "I need to talk".
People using such a communication do this out of a feeling of weakness, like "if I just tell what I want I won't get it anyway, so let's try to obtain it in some more subtle way, like suggesting it in some complicated code and hoping the other one is clairvoyant." That's taught and learnt helplessness and insecurity. It's not a special language for women, there is no such thing. It's just bad communication skills and lack of self-assurance. We as adult conscious beings have the freedom to do the choice to change our communication mode.
That's why I am against writing such articles. The solution would be to teach women and girls more self-assurance and better communication skills. Writing such "woman-english/english-woman dictionaries" encourages women keeping on like this and men dealing with it. This has bad consequences: it consolidates the lack of self-assurance of women and reinforces stereotypes about them. And it allows men to consider women as irrational and strange and to interpret what they say in a totally different way. As Ree said very well, that leads to the "when a woman says no she means yes" myth and can even justify sexual violence.
So, forget about that piece of ****! If she says she doesn't feel like talking, just say "ok then" and do something else. After a while she'll say when she needs to talk
