Are Men Capable of Admiring Women?

...literally billions of them; every woman who takes care of her family.

And if I may add - my mom. She would often be asked where she worked. Her response always was - "I'm raising the next generation!"

After getting us launched, she went on to become my city's first female council woman before women's lib made such things fashionable. And raised 3 kids and was my dad's wing.

Harriet Tubman
Marie Curie
Joan of Arc

Misogyny generally blinds most men

Sod off!!

1) M*** L*****, an aircraft pilot I once knew.

2) Marie Curie.

3) L***** K*******, a colleague.

4) M*** A****, one of my HS teachers. etc ...

I agree with your picks AND that the list can be longer.

I worked for one of Grace's Girls for about 1.5 years. Smart lady and really funny as well.

“Whatever thing men call great, look for it in Joan of Arc, and there you will find it. It took six thousand years to produce her; her like will not be seen in the earth again in fifty thousand. She is easily and by far the most extraordinary person the human race has ever produced.”

Mark Twain

[Boogieman]

"For most feminine women who haven't been polluted by feminism, the same holds true."

I don't think it's just feminism. Women have always envied men, since the beginning of time. It's part of the curse:

"Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee." Genesis 3:16

Yeah Hedy Lamarr is a great choice. Margaret Thatcher, Florence Nightengale and Mother Angelica come immediately to mind. I don’t think it would hard to think up a fairly long list.
I think the problem for the author is that she’s a lib. Women libs aren’t known for admirable qualities.

[TexasFreeper2009]

yeah... the problem is everyone is messed up. I know how to deal with “my” issues, but wouldn’t want to necessarily want to deal with anyone else’s.

For instance, it is my firm belief that some people are predisposed to become addicted to drugs, or alcohol, or smoking etc.

I experiemented with most of those when I was young, and decided none were for me. But that’s ME! What if I were someone else and one sip of whiskey and I have to drink it all day every day for the rest of my life?

I don’t know anyone else psychological profile, how do I know what demons they are dealing with? no thanks! I like myself and my life, and am not interested in ANYONE else’s, man OR woman.

A woman who accomplishes something singular will be attacked while alive and memory-holed when she is dead.

Hmmm, I'm not sure why.

Marie Curie was amazing. She was the first person to win 2 Nobel Prizes. [There have only been three others.] She has many other prizes and medals, I think more than Einstein. And when she won them in 1903 and 1911, she wasn't just getting them because she was female, she earned them. And her daughter won a Nobel Prize in Chemistry as well. [Marie shared her Physics Nobel with her husband, but one Chemistry by herself]

I've never heard anyone say anything bad about her. Maybe scientists this brilliant are usually men, but she was in their ranks.

Weirdly, it seems like she's more admired by men. Feminists seem to go out of their way to ignore her. I've never heard a feminist praise her.

“Noah’s wife was Joan of Arc?“

You haven’t seen “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure”, have you?

LOL!!!!

[SimpleJack]

No barf alert. You owe me a new keyboard.

[nickcarraway]

You forgot about Ada Lovelace.

[imardmd1]

The question was “Name three women who you are not related to who you admire and want to be more like."

There, fixed that question. Wouldn't even try to answer the way it was stated. or the woman who would ask it.

Annie Oakley

Annie is one of my very favorite women. Everything about her is admirable.

I taught a class in high school for three years. The first year I projected her picture and asked if anyone could identify her. Nobody could. I gave them a reading assignment. The heck of it was that I was teaching Embedded Computing. The next day they wanted to know the relevance. I told them, "None, but I am proud to be an American and I love America's heroes".

Post of the day! 👍💯

Mary Tudor, for inventing the Bloody Mary.

Tomato juice has Vitamin C in it, so it's good for you.

[Seruzawa]

So, today is Psychobabble Friday?

[GingisK]

I typed her name, rearranged the text, and somehow dropped her out. I would never forget Ada!

[FatherofFive]

Margaret Thatcher was the first one that came to mind
