If he only has sexual feelings, then she only has sexual power. He will not really care about or even think about her until he wants sex. On the other hand, if he cares for her or is even in love with her, she has other types of power over him. He wants to please her and cares about her opinion of him. He feels bad when he hurts her. She influences his decisions. I think this is the way it should be. Men are the head of the family, but women are the neck. We turn the head where it needs to go!

Women like this give all women a bad name. The only kind of man who would fall for a woman like this, are weak, desperate and shallow. Men like this will eventually be scorn to the point that they will no longer trust the motives of women, and they will fear women of power for the exact reason you have described. By nature, I tend not to trust women automatically either. Woman tend to be jealous, catty, and as a rule, they can't be trusted to stick up for each other. Once upon a time, I wasn't sure I wanted to support Hillary Clinton for President either. Since then, I have come to my senses after having done massive amounts of research. To answer your final questions: Hillary will (or will not) gain power the same way all presidents gain power when they are elected; but Hillary will have to work much harder to win this election, because she is a woman. Hillary will retain power by building her administration in the spirit of bipartisanship and cooperation with her former co-workers in the senate, and members of the house. She has a good reputation in the senate for being a hard worker, and a good problem solver. She will go out of her way to retain the respect of her administration, and the American people. Finally, I disagree with your main point; but fully understand and have complete compassion for the nature of your concerns. Frankly, some women are just plain evil. I just so happen to believe that Hillary Clinton is not in that category, and many people who know Hillary Clinton personally would wholeheartedly agree with me on that.

I like a girl who makes me try things, guys are Just idiots sometimes. Myself and a few other guys like girls like that.

Some fear mongers, most notably Phyllis Schlafly, took credit for its defeat. Her arguments against it were it would require unisex restrooms, make drafting of women into the military mandatory, and have them lose the right to be supported by their husbands. It should be pointed out about her is that while she feels women should be in the home, she has earned three college degrees and travels around the country telling other women how to live their lives. What gets me are people who don't practice what they preach. The ERA started out strong and then ran out of steam. Some fear mongers, most notably Phyllis Schlafly, took credit for its defeat.

(...the question is worded well. "What do you think about the power of women in society?") Yeah, it's good. Well, to answer your question:

Or a sonnet preferably the Italian or Petrarchan sonnet. Or you could divide it into quatrains which is four lines in a stanza. For a rhyme scheme, you could use something like terza rima or design your own. I always find organization helpful when writing poetry. Use a refrain for dramatic effect if you want like the use of "nevermore" in Poe's The Raven. Of course it could be a phrase, not justt a word.
