Boundaries

Edit: Knowing you personally, Jeremy, I would be very surprised if your intent with the dog analogy was to imply that it is the nature of women to nag. I read it as commentary on her as a person, and your personal experience and opinion of her. Certain individuals may have it in their nature to nag: man, woman, or otherwise, and that is their nature. I am thinking this is more along the lines of your thinking. But I do agree with Jade, comparing your wife to a dog pissing miiiiiiight have a bit of the MRA/PUA tinge to it.

Maybe, maybe not.  Refusing to get defensive in response to Jade was actually a HUGE test for me, since I was opening up and trying to be vulnerable and the first response I got was being scolded and that would normally trigger a pity party or furious apologies and corrections.  

It's ok that some people were offended by it. Nobody has a right never to be offended. Jade's feelings are hers to have, and there's no point hand-wringing over it.  I'm happy that I let it all hang out, even if it was ugly, and that my faith that this is a supportive community was reinforced.  Jade helped me in her own way and I'm greatly appreciative of it.

I'm sort of over that redpill stuff anyway, it's no longer useful.  I don't know whether it's a woman's "nature" to nag or not.  Luckily I don't have to figure it out because I'm not, and never will be, in relation to female "nature"--only particular female individuals.  All that female inferiority and childishness BS on there is just a bunch of guys who are scared justifying their own lack of self-empowerment, and it's kind of sad.

EDIT: One more thing. I don't think it's about "women gonna be women". I think it's about accepting people as they are, however they present.
