No Offense!

What do woman know? Simply,Nothing.

Their purpose in this world today and for the next thousand years is to maintain the house hold, satisfy mans needs in the bedroom and to cater them in the kitchen.

If woman were given leadership in this world she would be known as the first woman to be a dictator and named as 'Mrs Hitler' leading her fellow woman to exterminate mankind. This would be a disaster.

HAhhahahah Vanity Fair. Well I don't consider that a great accomplishment. What is it with you Obamabots and thinking that these "people" are so accomplished?? Pathetic. Donate some money to George Obama, you may feel better about yourself.
