2. I'm not surprised. Sometimes women are the ones who keep their eye on the ball,

not their eye on who they need to "out machismo".

Back in the day, as one of the very few women in management, I used to think, during some contentious meetings that were all about showmanship and not about substance, that we should do the following.

Have all the men unzip their pants.
Measure each of their penises.
Determine who had the biggest one.
Acknowledge it.
AND MOVE ON!

5. There is a tendency for men to get into pissing contests.

Women are capable of doing that, too, of course, but the pattern does seem at least somewhat less hardwired into women.

In fact, when women act that way, I suspect it is often because they are trying to prove themselves by out-guying the guys in a predominantly male workspace.

3. We should remember than Bachman and Palin are nominally female

There are plenty of batshit crazy female loons.

4. I disagree. Those are fembots.
