Can you imagine the sort of man that someone like Ms. Silver would be attracted to (if she's attracted to men at all).
The guy would have to be a wimpering, simpering, ninny who would be challenged by lifting 35 lbs or climbing two flights of stairs.
I live in Oakland (just south of Berserkley), so I've seen many women who think and talk exactly like this. The
straight ones tend to go for men of two kinds:
1) The whimpering, simpering "sensitive New Age guys" you mentioned; or
2) The most brutal, Neanderthalian, d**k-led mouth-breathers imaginable. Which makes sense, as the whole Men=Killers attitude usually is a not-too-well-concealed rape/domination fantasy needing to be acted out in a relationship.
