(527 posts)That women will manage to govern effectively with love and compassion. Scary stuff for the macho and warrior mindset.

I'm not religious but I've often said that if I were going to call myself anything, it would be a buddhist.

The Dalai Lama apologized, but so did Phillip Agnew for ten year old tweets about a woman's looks and people are having none of it.
I also remember the Dalai Lama saying the greatest career a woman can have is being a mother. So just don't count me in as being a fan.
