Parents are manipulative, they say things like, "You can try on my dress if you wash your hands and face".
Novelists, playwrights and script writers are manipulative - they take us through a gamut of emotions and experiences with their stories.

The best I can figure is 50% of men are more manipulative than women and 50% of women are more manipulative than men, so as far as I can tell it still leaves all guessing what heck is going on like we always have or maybe just me who is left guessing JMO
