Further, I am married (happily so), and I think his point about jealousy is quite reasonable (as was his first theory!). It's truly splendid that you and your family/friends don't respond to other women the way he has described, but I've seen more than a few instances of it in the last seven years teaching high school.Andy Dollahitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09575945592447351602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9313009.post-90134289987517321642010-02-24T15:40:55.569-06:002010-02-24T15:40:55.569-06:00I'll have to second DJP.

While I don't know CR personally as he does, I've read enough of him over the past year or so to agree that you have judged him rather harshly. <br /><br />Just because you are not petty enough to judge another woman out of jealously doesn't mean that it doesn't happen, and with alarming frequency. I've been on the receiving end in a business setting, more than once. It does happen.semhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01900106806293193071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9313009.post-9382049888285916802010-02-24T15:28:06.599-06:002010-02-24T15:28:06.599-06:00I bet the reason DJP doesn't like Ron Paul is ...I bet the reason DJP doesn't like Ron Paul is because Paul is so attractive. ;) <br /><br />Sir Aaron- Whereabouts in the Houston area, if I might ask?

I have never hated or disliked a woman because she was beautiful, smart, and/or attractive to men, and I highly doubt that any of them have either. That's just ridiculous to me. Is it true of a few women? Probably, just as some men may hate other men who are more athletic or attractive to women than they are. Is it true of all or most women? Not the ones I know, and I think it's a terrible assumption to make and, yes, condescending and demeaning. And I'm in no way a feminist.GrammaMackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05218961984592356011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9313009.post-43522385777305149972010-02-24T12:29:45.156-06:002010-02-24T12:29:45.156-06:00Oh, Gramma, I don't think CR's being conde...Oh, Gramma, I don't think CR's being condescending.

Or maybe you need a wife to set you straight.GrammaMackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05218961984592356011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9313009.post-14404291157424680712010-02-24T00:25:14.156-06:002010-02-24T00:25:14.156-06:00That's an interesting point you raise, Sir Aar...That's an interesting point you raise, Sir Aaron. Wasn't that the issue with the Republican establishmentarians when Reagan was running for office? I don't know, didn't follow politics then, I was more interested as a child watching the "Superfriends." Didn't they have disdain for some of the social values that Reagan stood for? Hence, now replace Reagan with Palin? Hmmm...why am I thinking that, oh yeah, it was the topic of Dan's post. <br /><br />As far as women hating Palin more than men, I have two theories. One is Palin is an affront to so-called women's rights. There was no way they were going to have a Vice President with her down syndrome's child running around in the White House lawn because it would remind them of their sad and pathetic lives.<br /><br />Second theory is this: you know how liberals fear Palin, well, the reason is because a lot of voters like her (hmmm...maybe it's why the conservative establishmentarians dislike her too...but anyway), I think that's another reason why more women hate her, because a lot of men like her. <br /><br />I remember a friend of mine asking me why in the world I liked Palin and it just bugged him (he couldn't stand her) and even though I tried telling him it's about her stances, he came back with, "oh, I know why, it's because she's beautiful, you are attracted her, that's why, it's the only reason why." He could not get into his thick headed skull that it was about the issues.<br />So, I thought, I wonder how many women think the same? <br /><br />I suspect a lot of these women hate or dislike her, especially liberal women, but maybe some of the female establishmentarians also because their husbands really like her too. They do see a beautiful woman (I'm allowed to say that because I'm single), yes, but one that is smart, down to earth and not uptight about life. The men like that and the women are jealous. So, that's my musing on it.CRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912897040503058967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9313009.post-5345114161269831172010-02-23T23:51:02.188-06:002010-02-23T23:51:02.188-06:003GD,
