Sure, I'll apologize for what I perceive as women's biggest weaknesses in today's society but I have a feeling they are not the same ones you are thinking of:
1) Materialism
2) A certain kind of entitlement. I am not talking about sexual things. I am talking about a couple of things...see "materialism" above, and also, not realizing that without some of the protections men and the structure of society afford, women would be at a lot more physical risk. I think there are whole aspects of life that women do not think about, because the structures their safety hangs on are already in place. To be fair, middle-class women today don't see that many men physically risking their lives, and also to be fair, more and more working-class women do jobs that put their safety at risk, but by and large, middle-class and upper-middle-class women don't see all the physical risk, largely performed by males, that makes their lives cushy and safe. I hear women whine, whine, whine about the color of the decor in the high-end chiropractor and massage office, while working-class men are risking their lives all over the place to keep the electricity on etc. and those same women looking down on those same men, because they don't see their own personal safety and comfort depending on those men in a direct way. again, women now perform more and more of these dangerous jobs too.
3) Emotional weakness. During the Clinton/Lewinsky fiasco I commented to my then-boyfriend, "Is there ANY traditional female foible that DOESN'T come into play in this?" Of course a big traditional male foible came into play, but then there was Linda Tripp, deception, treachery, jealousy, and Monica's coming unglued in so many ways. I am not talking about the sex but the emotional foibles.
4) Financial shenanigans in some divorces even when it is not for the kids. I have seen this. Some entitled women who have never had to make their own living seem to have no idea what it takes or how hard it is. Again, this is not all women, but some who have been entitled, in many cases due to their possessing looks and status that allow them to coast.
5) Marketing and merchandising. Ugh. It's not just a woman thing but it's gone overboard. Some very talented women in marketing and merchandising could be putting their talents to better use as investigative reporters these days.
6) Gossip and backbiting, GUILTY AS CHARGED!!!! I have been called out on it too.
There, I apologized for six female foibles and not one of them was giving in to a moment's sexual weakness and having a one-time, threesome or fling. Anyone can make a mistake. I hold that the same caliber as driving home from the sports bar with a buzz, one time, learning better and never doing it again.
