Sadly, that knee-jerk response is all too typical of women conditioned to assert some semblance of masculinity.
Truthfully, I'd be fine with men such as Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Jay, and Webster in charge. Apparently, you might wish to think they were "foolish misogynists" too.
There is nothing knee jerk or typical about this woman, longtime FReeper and Conservative. With all due respect, You are nuts!
Maybe you should take this up with all the great conservative women here at FR, or with your wife.
Why do I question whether you have one?
You are sick.
