Hypertext Webster Gateway: "egocentric" egocentric adj : limited to or caring only about yourself and your own needs [syn: {egoistical}, {self-centered}, {self-centred}] n : a self-centered person with little regard for others [syn:egoist] BLT...who has that "power" of ultimate destruction? Who has their fat little fingers on the red buttons? I never said Women could do better. As long as males are present in their current form, there's not a Woman alive that could effectively deal with this MESS....Form follows function. >>"The only reason that most of the mistakes of leadership have been made by men is because most of the decisions of leadership have been made by men."<< LOL! I had to laugh at that one... and what's a "common feminist"? >>"But the common feminist view that women could somehow do a better job fails to take into consideration the simple fact that women managed to hold onto the traits that we as a society have valued them for in large part because they have been essentially powerless."<< Simply amazing...now there's some fatally faulty reasoning! I can't even take it seriously. It makes no sense. Here's your translation...["we as a society of men..."] "We men had better make damn sure that Women remain "essentially powerless" because if we fail to do so, they will no longer pick up our mess, cover our shortcomings, protect our fragile egos, incubate our spawn, allow us to rape them or believe that we are needed or in control of anything..." Women are geneticly in opposition to the male prime directive, which is all about territorial reptilian instincts and blood lust... men cannot create Life so they are compelled to destroy Life. I call it "Humanity Envy". The Emperor has NO clothes...and it ain't pretty.

Bob, I largely agree with your post but let me recommend that you do a little reading on my heroine, Queen Elizabeth I. Its a very interesting study, unique because at that time she was the only true female leader (there were other queens such as Mary queen of Scots but they ruled in name only, the men in their courts truly ruled). Elizabeth intentionally never married because she enjoyed ruling as Queen and although she was certainly power hungry, there was a female slant on things. For example I was just telling someone on another thread (whose name is "Sir Francis Drake") about Drake and his role in the english army vs. the huge spanish armada. England had this little navy with Drake and some English admiral that were up against the Armada and Pope. Elizabeth had a hands off management style when it came to wars (she did demand that they fight the war she wanted and not pillage towns for gold etc), but anyway she would just say that the people were with them, please go win, that was it. This style enabled Drake and the admiral to get along, because Drake was the senior sea guy but with no management/tactical war experience so decent working relationships were key. Anyway this worked well against the Spaniards because they had Phillip who tried to micromanage the entire affair from Spain. In the end England was victorious which was amazing to all, a real David/Goliath thing. At the same time Elizabeth was charitable with her people, giving from the royal treasury during famines etc. and she insisted on going on these retreats to the towns to meet the people face to face every year. her whole style was different than anyone had ever seen and as such she was a great ruler, you have to assume it is because she ruled as a woman. The previous ruler was also a woman (Mary Tudor aka "Bloody Mary") but she was married to a Catholic from Spain and in the name of catholicism they killed everybody who wasn't catholic. Elizabeth didn't buy that zealotism and there is some question as to whether she believed in god at all.
