War gestern - wie immer - in Paris und habe Shakespeare and Company ausgemacht und natürlich auch gleich ein Buch gekauft. Das nette kleine Hardcover wurde in den Jahren 1922-1925 von Henry Louis Mencken (1880-1956) geschrieben und läuft unter dem Titel: "Selected Prejudices". Hieraus möchte ich nun zitieren:
"§9 Women as Realpolitiker
Women in general are far too cynical to have any respect for so-called ideas. One seldom hears of them suffering and dying for any of the bogus Great Truths that men believe in. When a woman is on good terms wit her husband she is quite willing to accept his ideotic theorizings of any subject that happens to engage him, whether theological, economic, epistemological, or political. When on hears of a Conservative man who has a Lberal wife, of vice versa, it is always safe to assume that she has her eye on a handsomer, richer, or more docile fellow, and is thinking of calling on a solicitor"
Danke Gott für diesen Menschen.
