I wish I could tell you something more positive, but I think it is just as simple as the Larry Craig fiasco. Liberals do it too but it looks different when they do it.... You get a very motivated person with a "rich inner fantasy life" projecting what they think life should be on to all of the rest of us. Who knows maybe she has some cognitive dissonance leading her to crave the strong male archetype that should exist yet eludes her or some strong pushy women in her life that she thinks need to be taken down a rung. Kind of the same way Craig was so vehemently anti-gay anything and called Bill Clinton "a very naughty, NASTY, boy" on Chris Matthews and propositioned men in bathrooms on the sly.
I went through a masculine crave when I was younger, I grew out of it when I realized that men wouldn't ever give me the stability I craved, and that they were all fallible people themselves. But hey that’s what our crazy teenage years are for right? Then we grow up, become the parents, accept life's idiosyncrasies, and move on....or not.
