You often accuse me of giving opinions that are too general, and then you write a letter that is based entirely off of your general opinion.
What male written study are you talking about?
Also, I had issues with the conclusion that was drawn from (now) Dr. Beckwith's study. I did not find her study particularly all that fascinating, informative, or insightful (but I did find it worthy of further study, as it needs it).
When a study is called misogynistic tripe, it was usually disdained because the motive behind the study was determined to be sexist and misogynistic.
In Beckwith's study the motive was to find out why women had issues with debugging software. That can hardly be considered a sexist or misogynistic motive. But any study trying to prove that women are less smarter than men, is going to have its motive questioned.
I can't imagine former governor Huckabee gaining much ground outside of the deep south, and Senator Clinton would give him a good run in his own home state of Arkansas.
Huckabee is a charismatic guy, I like what he says on the issues of civil rights, but get real. Can a Baptist preacher go the distance? When he refused to answer the question on evolution and the age of the Earth, I felt pretty confidently that this guy was too out of the main stream to be taken seriously. The Creationist Museum with its display of a T-rex playing with small children is going to be too much for most people to swallow, let alone vote in favor of.
I like Mike Huckabee as a person, but as a politician he's just too far out there.

I like Senator Obama, but as a second fiddle to Clinton, we the voters lose a lot of his charms. If Senator Obama doesn't win the nomination, I would rather he stay in the Senate, because there his voice would remain huge, but as VP we won't see much of his dazzle.
I doubt Edwards would accept the running mate role again, and I doubt the Democrats would feel comfortable with Edwards in the second place role on the ticket again.
Bill Richardson, Joe Biden, Jim Webb, and General(RET) Wes Clark are the most interesting players that could assume the VP role, because they are low spoken, behind the scenes guys, that possess great military/foreign policy resumes.
The cameras have been following Senator Clinton everywhere that she has gone for the past 30 years, and her life was thoroughly investigated at the expense of 70 million tax dollars. If she was gay, we would have heard about it a long time ago.
In regards to Hillary Clinton there is no gray area left to snoop around in. We already know who Senator Clinton is, so at this point we either love her or not.
Or they could just deny the fact that they are successful.
What idiot is going to say, "no, I won't f*ck you, or have a meaning relationship with you because you are successful"?
Reports like this make me mad, not at the reporters, but at the fact that it is actually news worthy news. To paraphrase the immortal words of the late Richard Pryor; if you think no man wants you because you are too successful, then I would like to give a second opinion (his words were "If there are any ladies here tonight that think they got a bad p*ssy, come see me after the show, I'd like to give a second opinion).
Unfortunately I can't marry every successful woman out there, but I am sure that there are other man out there that like successful women.
Ladies, ignore The Times' bull shit, if a man turns down your offer for a meaningful relation due to the fact that you are successful, then he wasn't worth your time anyways. And if you go a while continuing to get turned down because you are successful, then just do what men do, start lying. Instead of telling him that you are a lawyer or a company executive with a ivory league degree, tell him that you are just a secretary with only a high school diploma. This lying approach has the added bonus of being able to hide the amount of money that you really make. Does your boyfriend really need to know how much money you make, or how powerful you are in your profession? F*ck him, you're in it to win it, or did you go to college just to get away from home?
