they let the "man" in their life do their thinking for them. Many of those women have been brow-beaten, literally beaten, and made to feel subservient to a man their entire lives. I feel sorry for them, in a fashion, but everyone must take responsibility for their lives sooner or later. That they betray their own gender sickens me, and I'm a man.
