I think you're missing the point. I agree with BBB that the women will only see your comments as a confirmation of their suspicions about themselves.
I guess I am. Can you help me understand what I'm doing wrong? My heart's in the right place, but I want my tongue to speak what I mean.
I'm being sincere.

I know you are. I don't think you can do it. The phenomenon is complex and deeply rooted, and I think you're best saying as little as possible. If you insist on saying something or trying to help, ask the university counselor what the best approach is.

Fair enough. I'll do that, but I think I made the counselor cry once too.

I just emailed the counselor asking for a time to get together over "coffee" to talk about this. It was good advice.

this is exactly what I was thinking. girls used to do it in debate all the time, too.
A friend of mine was in debate in high school in Utah. His favorite story was the time the girl was losing the debate, so she opened her shirt and flashed the moderator/judge.
But the best part of the story was the reaction of the moderator/judge (only in Utah!): He rushed out of the room into the hallway, and breathlessly exclaimed, "She bore her breasts!"
If we disagree on something, it's because you're wrong.
