Second, they sort of objetcvize women - no doubt they´re kept in boxes. Third, they represent the worst in the allegedly feminine psy: exaggeration, submission and that dumb face "oh, I don´t know..what do you think?". And a kind of woman perception no girl will ever achieve - for the first reason I wrote here. No wonder girls torture them, they´re not friends, they´re foes!!!<br><br> ;-P<br><br>All the best.<br><br><dl><dt class="quote"><a rel="nofollow" title="Click for further information about this quotation" target="_blank" href="http://www.quotationspage.com/quote/32958.html"><span style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;"
