    …I have always been attracted to strong women…

    …also to women that go against the grain…

    …women in glasses have always been a turn on…

    …artist types…

    …those with with what some call,‘baggage’…

    …I call, ‘character’…

    …of course all women have this…

    …(as do all men, I suppose)…

    …I like the concept of team…

    …two peas in a pod…

    …though this is not always found attractive by all of the girls I have dated…

    …the manly take charge kinda man is the main theme, I guess…

    …one girl broke up with me because I insisted she wear her seat belt…

    …(her Dad only had one leg and rode a Harley)…

    …and my Mom’s last dying words to me were…

    …‘You have to be they man of the family…

    …oh, well. I guess it is 2008.’…

    …she probably had a point…

    …don’t get me started about my wife’s love of grilling out…

    …my brothers give me crap about that all the time…

    …but…

    …as Popeye would say…

    …I yam what I yam…

    Goebbels would have been proud to have made up the lie about women, but it dates back to long before radio. It’s older than writing, even.

    Rubber ducky, you’re the one

    You make bath time lots of fun

    Rubber ducky I am awfully fond of you

    Rubber Ducky, joy of joys

    When I squeeze you, you make noise

    Rubber ducky you’re my very best friend, it’s true

    Oh, every day when I make my way to the tubby

    I find a little fella who’s cute and yellow and chubby

    Rubber dubber ducky

    Rubber ducky you’re so fine

    And I’m lucky that you’re mine

    Rubber ducky I am awfully fond of

    Rubber duck I wish I had a whole pond of

    Rubber ducky I am awfully fond of you

    My mom was a calm analytical thinker who knew stuff. I didn’t realize that women weren’t supposed to be that way until it was too late.

    I think we are mostly fine with strong women. Turn over a car accident to save a baby- Hooray! Row solo across the Atlantic- wow, impressive! Become a fighter pilot- you go girl! Just don’t challenge a man, some men. Their fragile egos cant handle it.

    Rubber Duckies secretly rule the World, even here in Froglandia. If that other figure is a “delicate damsel,” she stands no chance against the Power of the Duck. And so, alas, your thesis is weakened by the damsel ironically in distress.

    Why does it always have to be Rubber Duckies?
