***I really couldn't say, but I don't think you can really say, either. You don't have half the equation, but you are presuming to calculate the answer.***
Fair enough, however, as I said, this scenario is not just exclusive to the one example.
***As for how a man could prove you incorrect, well that gets into characteristics you call "powerful."
I submit that one way to prove you wrong would be by having a disinterested woman acknowlege a characteristic you call "powerful" is actually "being a shrew."***
Sounds like you are implying that's what I am. LOL!!! Actually there are times I wish I did have that in me.
No No, absolutely not! I only mean to say our society is very bad about monkeying with definitions. Sometimes I think the democratic party is built on a bunch of people trying to convince the world that 3 is 5 in some contexts ;^)
Let me share an analogous story:
One morning, my sister was complaining about how the fella that took her out dancing the previous night began acting ugly when she started dancing with other guys. She felt this uncalled for as they went out "as friends."
I asked her "MB, if once you got out to the club, you found this guy was funny, charming, and a good dancer, that "friends" crap would have gone right out the window, wouldn't it?"
"Well, yeah," she replies.
"You think he doesn't know that?"
My point is...there's nothing easier than convincing yourself of your own rectitude.
