However, it's foolish to deny that use of value-based verbage like "devalue the woman", "play games", and the resoundingly popular "bitch shield" invoke an image of childishness, immaturity, penis-based thinking. The OP has since clarified his stance and added more information with what is, at least to this community, can be viewed as better, clearer, and more thoughtful language.

I totally agree here. I feel it's more than just the context of the OP's subject. The issue of being a player or learning/using techniques for the express purpose of attracting women seems to be putting people on edge.
The terminology is certainly a contributing factor- instead of saying you broke down a bitch shield, you said you "broke the ice", the reaction I believe would be more favorable.
