Man, are you suicidal!??

'Tis often said by male chauvinist piggies that women's judgment is impaired by their hormones. Okay, I'll buy that, up to a point (but I won't pay much for it!). But think on this:    because women's hormones generally follow their regular biological cycle (normally 28 days), their moods are relatively predictable. The woman in question has a pretty good idea of how she's liable to be feeling within a given period of time within that cycle and may very well defer judgment on an important matter until she knows that her thinking will not be influenced by whatever mood swings she may feel subject to.

Men's moods, on the other hand, are not that cyclic and predictable. There are all kinds of things that can set off a testosterone attack. On an otherwise pleasant morning, as the boss is driving in to work, someone cuts him off in traffic, triggers a surge of adrenalin and testosterone, a veritable a cocktail of rage, and he spends the rest of the day at work ripping people's heads off.

I would be a lot more comfortable with a woman president than with a man—especially considering the events of recent years.

There is nothing rational about the Iraqi war. It floats on an ocean of testosterone.
