That's a reasonable summary, though I hadn't thought of it like that: < in the biggest picture women are the generals and men are the canon fodder LOL > Women certainly treat men as a herd of sheep to be fleeced and consumed. Behind every successful man there's a critical and cynical woman. Or, as they say, cherchez les femmes. This is of course a wild generalisation so of course there might be exceptions lurking in Outer Mongolia or somewhere. I noticed very much at the time and of course recently, that Tiger Woods' father had said that Tiger's toughest test would come when he had a "honey". "Honey do this, honey do that." Sure enough, Tiger imploded when meeting the test and crashing. Fathers are wise [through bitter experience and having seen others go down in flames in myriad ways for myriad reasons]. That too is, of course a wild generalisation. How come people can't accept generalisations these days without tedious qualifications about statistical variations? For example CB made a perfectly reasonable generalisation about men - which of course doesn't apply to every individual. But try making such a generalisation about women, or the melanin-rich, or any group entitled to politically correct sacrosanct status and the cry goes up "racist, bigot...hang him from the nearest tree, blah blah blah..." Free speech is now cancelled in Europe and is on its last legs in the USA [not that it was ever particularly free, but it is being skooshed even more now]. My second cousin Ormond Burton was gaoled during WWII for saying "Ladies and gentlemen" from his soap box. He was a decorated World War I hero but that wasn't enough to be allowed to express opinions in public in WWII. He had been warned to not talk in public and when he started, he was arrested. Mqurice
