Ya know...if I loved anything more than I love women I would just be a lost ball in this world. Saying that I still feel that most women are as you also said...too emotional to be able to rule the world from the forefront...although they do so from the sidelines in some respects.
As far as your friend that you told the "truth" to. I kind of feel that if she doesn't come back to visit and to remain your friend either she has the brains God gave a gnat or she was never a real friend to begin with. People(and I have known a couple of men also) that allow themselves to be used and abused for the most part only want their "friends" to agree with them and commiserate with them. As I go through life as in the past...I ty to tell the truth and speak my mind whether it is in line with whoever I am speaking with. Of course we all tell little white lies at times ie as when someone asks if we like their clothes etc. But the real truth of a friendship is when the person tells the truth and says...ah...no that looks terrible when it does so. Seems to me that is the way you are and will continue to be. Now to tell the truth, at least as I see it, coloring hair.. most makeup and other enhancements are a type of lie. Women for the most part really don't need the enhancements that all that implies. I always kind of shied away from women that felt they needed all that fixing up. And most women feel that they aren't quite up to par in the beauty line. Men are also at times pretty vain and do some of the fixin up that women do. To get all fixed up to trap a man(or woman) seems just a little underhanded. Of course I like pretty. Don't we all? I guess what I am trying to say is that women feel an inadequacy that bleeds over into their public lives that seems to make them inadequate for the job of running this country...other than from the sidelines as they do now. I guess I've gone 'round Robin Hood's barn to just say that women are not quite up to running the country...even though many think they are up to the task. Now in the case of Hillary...since she can't remember how she made 100,000 bucks from nothing in a little over a year...not only is she lying to us she is lying to herself. And we as a people should trust her? One of the few women I feel I can trust Lilred, seems to be you! Never met you personally...but feel I can read your character...and I know you is one too!
