Hungarian village World War I - all the men conscripted and taken off to fight, leaving women to run farms and businesses. A POW camp built nearby, the enemy soldiers let out to work as labourers for the women. As you'd expect, liaisons developed. But, the women had the absolute whip hand. If they chose to take other lovers, none could complain or they'd be confined to the camp. Eventually this idyllic state of affairs (if you'll excuse the pun) came to an end when, sadly, the war finished. The menfolk returned to their village, but found their women radically changed. In the next 5 years, more than half the men of the village died suddenly. The women later revealed that they'd found a way of concocting a cumulative dose of poison from wallpaper paste.

(There were) several bizarre elements about the Novacks' life together, including what happened to Narcisa Novack after she said her husband broke her nose. She told police that he took her to a plastic surgeon to repair her nose and when she woke up after the surgery she had breast implants she hadn't asked for, the report says. "While she contends this was done against her will, she never made a complaint to anyone."

As a single man in my mid-thirties, I've spent 20 years trying to understand women, with mixed results. It wasn't until six months ago, however, that I was given a clear insight into how the female mind works.

It came in the form of Lou-Lou, my two-year-old niece. I know, as a grown-up, that the onus is on me to teach her useful stuff rather than the other way around, but in this case, the instruction was mutual. I taught her how to wink, blow raspberries, burp and count to 10, sort of. "One, two, three, seven, nine, ten", which is good enough for me, as, personally, I've always thought the numbers four, five, six and eight were overrated. Everything I know about women . . .

You have to take care of your looks, said long time editor of Cosmopolitan, because sex is a dance, and how the other person looks is part of the dance. And you need a husband because it's less exhausting to have one on standby than to have to catch a new one every time. Helen Gurley Brown

Gender imbalance in past bc (a)power was based on physical prowess, and (b)women spent most of their life pregnant or suckling, simply bc no birth control and bc so many children died. So imbalance came out of the society you were in; nobody questioned it. Implications

The problem with talking is that no-one stops you from saying the wrong thing. I think life would be a lot better if it was like you were always making a movie. You mess up, someone walks on the set and stops the whole shot. Think of the things you wish you could take back. You're out somewhere with people. "Boy you look pregnant, are you?" "Cut cut cut that's not going to work at all. Walk out the door, come back in, let's take this whole scene again. People, think about what you're saying." Jerry Seinfeld

Michael Silverstein was in town to discuss his new book, written with Kate Sayre, Women Want More: How to Capture Your Share of the World's Largest, Fastest-Growing Market. To write it, he and Sayre mined data supplied by twelve thousand women who responded to a B.C.G. questionnaire asking about their spending and saving preferences, their work habits, and their more personal satisfactions. As a result, Silverstein was equipped to scatter his conversation with such alarming statistics as "Globally, thirty-eight per cent of men don't do chores" and "Thirty per cent of American women who are married do not intend to be with the man they are with five years from now."

Social study done 50 years ago, when ethical standards lower. Got housewives to rank household items. Then experimenter picked two items which she'd ranked equally, and told housewife she cd choose one to take home. After she'd made the choice, asked her to rank them again, and of course the chosen one has moved up the list.

There are literally billions of men on the planet, and the probability is extremely high that one of these men is exactly right for you. So if you're patient, and keep a positive attitude, and don't give up hope, the odds are very good that you will never meet this guy, because he lives in some place like Uzbekistan. So you might want to consider Plan B, which is becoming a nun, assuming you're OK with the longer skirt." I'll Mature When I'm Dead

... they go home to the event planners they married as trophy wives a few decades ago and who have now in their fifties turned into modern American centaurs. Because cosmetic surgeons are apparently more proficient the lower down the body you get, these women have legs like Serena Williams but overstretched g-force cheeks and stuffed-pillow lips."
