I am a real human woman, and, yes, I have actual male friends

After Americans spent a week freaking out over the 15-year-old news that Vice President Mike Pence takes certain old-fashioned-sounding precautions to defend his marriage, something's come along that actually deserves the outrage we've all been limbered up to express.

The Federalist has published a piece by a Lutheran pastor named Hans Fiene purporting to explain "Why Men and Women Can Never Be 'Just Friends.'" Fiene has said that "only about 40 per cent" of the article was sincere, meaning that 60 per cent of it is sub-Onion-quality satire. No matter what 40 percent of the piece he meant, though, Fiene's argument is still hopelessly dumb (among other things, it appears to discount the existence of people who are not heterosexual). Apparently, women are cruelly making friendships with men whose children they don't intend to bear, while deluding themselves about the evil we're doing by convincing ourselves that these friendships are genuine.
