"I feel . . ."

Better not start like this:

11. "I feel . . ."

Translation: I am about to express an opinion, but I fear that you may contradict me and I am not prepared to argue in favour of this opinion as I haven't really thought about it properly, so I'll say 'I feel . . .' rather than 'I think . . .' as that way you can't argue with me because how would you know how I feel? Anyway, feelings are pure and nice, thinking is so clinical and inhuman, and it's 'masculine' and therefore bad, women shouldn't think, they just know things intuitively and don't have to back it up with reasoning.
