He doesn't feel superior to women in intellect or ability, just physically stronger. I think he feels protective toward young pretty women because he knows what some lechers would pull on these gals, and he knows he's not one.

But I've seen him give the biggest hugs to the oldest of the old when he does the signing in of the new Senators - I watched it all 4 years ago and this year. He affection for them seems genuine.

Reminds me of me with dogs. I can't resist bending down on the ground and hugging strange dogs with or without their owners. One would think I wanted to steal them, but I just like them a lot.

Going to bed before you guys throw things at me. :_)
