Fact is woman ARE different from men and often look at things quite differently - thank God for that (or in your case thank Darwin!)
Pity Bhutto was assassinated. Can you imagine a future meeting where Hillary and Benazir discuss how to catch bin Laden over a nice cup of camomile tea and short bread biscuits?
Oops I did it again.
| My complaint wasn't necessarily directed at how people view personality and looks in a candidate, but the very fact that people view personality and looks as taking precedent over issues. The point being, many Democrats don't like Hillary because of her stance on the issues; but if her crying (personality) was able to overshadow that, then the voting population, male or female, is acting very childish.
If we entertain some generalizations here, you might be right that men like their strongman and women might go for the puppy-dog look, but my point is that neither should be looking for both in the first place. Just more to distract from the issues; the true importance at hand.
