And they gave us the clintons for eight years!! More male bashing!! It's all BS. ANYONE who has any cajones will defend themselves regardless of gender.
Besides, no matter what a woman accomplishes, a man can bring her down. Flame away, ladies, I have asbestos on!!
One of the best stories I read lately concerned Napoleon and Josephine. She had such powers of seduction, that she managed to hold him under her spell. A few days after their marriage, Napoleon left for Italy to battle the Austrians. Josephine refused to follow him. Napoleon begged her to join him. She continued to decline and it drove him crazy. Utilizing a combination of coldness, charm and grace. He could hardly direct the army, his distraction for her so was overwhelming. While they did part company with their lovers/mistresses, Napoleon's final word, on his death bed was, "Josephine."
So I don't necessarily agree that men will bring an unattentive woman down. We have our ways, you know.
