American women, on the whole, are more embarrassing with every passing year.
There is something to what you say. Would American men admit that they really want a kindler, gentler, meeker female than those depicted in the American media?
And if they wouldn't admit it, would that be evidence of lobotomy or castration?
No kidding -- the behavior displayed on this program (and this particular incident is not the first or only time, just the latest) is in part why I never enjoyed working in the all-gal departments on the job. About as unprofessional as it could get, though no real surprise, considering the way O'Donnell treated Tom Selleck a few years back when he was a guest on her show.
In case anyone thinks I offer insult, I should probably indicate that I am a woman.
