She came, she saw, Gaddafi died. Yeah. Sounds like a gentle and peaceful woman.

When I was in elementary school, the liberal educational mantra was never to stereotype. Whatever happened to that? I guess it’s OK when liberals do it.

Such a remark just shows how little Reid knows about women!

“The Female of the Species” by Rudyard Kipling (1911):

1 When the Himalayan peasant meets the he-bear in his pride,
2 He shouts to scare the monster, who will often turn aside.
3 But the she-bear thus accosted rends the peasant tooth and nail.
4 For the female of the species is more deadly than the male.

5 When Nag the basking cobra hears the careless foot of man,
6 He will sometimes wriggle sideways and avoid it if he can.
7 But his mate makes no such motion where she camps beside the trail.
8 For the female of the species is more deadly than the male.

9 When the early Jesuit fathers preached to Hurons and Choctaws,
10 They prayed to be delivered from the vengeance of the squaws.
11 ‘Twas the women, not the warriors, turned those stark enthusiasts pale.
12 For the female of the species is more deadly than the male.

13 Man’s timid heart is bursting with the things he must not say,
14 For the Woman that God gave him isn’t his to give away;
15 But when hunter meets with husbands, each confirms the other’s tale —
16 The female of the species is more deadly than the male.

17 Man, a bear in most relations — worm and savage otherwise, —
18 Man propounds negotiations, Man accepts the compromise.
19 Very rarely will he squarely push the logic of a fact
20 To its ultimate conclusion in unmitigated act.

21 Fear, or foolishness, impels him, ere he lay the wicked low,
22 To concede some form of trial even to his fiercest foe.
23 Mirth obscene diverts his anger -— Doubt and Pity oft perplex
24 Him in dealing with an issue — to the scandal of The Sex!

25 But the Woman that God gave him, every fibre of her frame
26 Proves her launched for one sole issue, armed and engined for the same,
27 And to serve that single issue, lest the generations fail,
28 The female of the species must be deadlier than the male.

29 She who faces Death by torture for each life beneath her breast
30 May not deal in doubt or pity — must not swerve for fact or jest.
31 These be purely male diversions — not in these her honour dwells.
32 She the Other Law we live by, is that Law and nothing else.

33 She can bring no more to living than the powers that make her great
34 As the Mother of the Infant and the Mistress of the Mate.
35 And when Babe and Man are lacking and she strides unchained to claim
36 Her right as femme (and baron), her equipment is the same.

37 She is wedded to convictions — in default of grosser ties;
38 Her contentions are her children, Heaven help him who denies! —
39 He will meet no suave discussion, but the instant, white-hot, wild,
40 Wakened female of the species warring as for spouse and child.

41 Unprovoked and awful charges — even so the she-bear fights,
42 Speech that drips, corrodes, and poisons — even so the cobra bites,
43 Scientific vivisection of one nerve till it is raw
44 And the victim writhes in anguish — like the Jesuit with the squaw!

45 So it cames that Man, the coward, when he gathers to confer
46 With his fellow-braves in council, dare not leave a place for her
47 Where, at war with Life and Conscience, he uplifts his erring hands
48 To some God of Abstract Justice — which no woman understands.

49 And Man knows it! Knows, moreover, that the Woman that God gave him
50 Must command but may not govern — shall enthral but not enslave him.
51 And She knows, because She warns him, and Her instincts never fail,
52 That the Female of Her Species is more deadly than the Male.

I guess Harry Reid hasn’t heard of the saying “ Hell hath no fury than a woman scorned.

Harry is lying, one would bet that he has already found out that there are certain words you don’t call a woman..

Most women make decisions using feelings and emotion, most men use facts .

Whoops!

I guess SOMEBODY didn't beat ALL the cr@p out of Harry Reid...

There appears to be a residual amount left - enough to work his Pinocchio lips...

When they gave women the right to vote my mother said it was the stupidest thing they ever did.

She said she placed her vote in rhe kichen and the bedroom and didn’t need to go to the poles to be heard.

She was also extremerly active in republican politics and had me stuffing envelopes when I was 5.

The ole boy was attacked by a piece of exercise equipment that has no brain. At what point should we listen to him?

Spoken just like someone with zero knowledge of women...which is not surprising, BTW.
