A true story. I hope that this shows up on YOUTUBE someday.

Shortly after the original Godfather movie came out, James Caan, who played Sonny Corleone (the oldest son of Vito), was on a daytime talk show being interviewed. It was probably the Mike Douglas Show . This was around the time of the beginning of modern "Women's Lib". One of the other guests was the female world champion arm wrestler. Somebody on the panel suggested that Jimmy Caan, even with his recent success as the ultra-macho Sonny, could not beat the female champ in a match, and the audience was yelling for him to try. He balked, and said that he couldnâ??t do it, he wasnâ??t in shape, too old, etc. After much badgering, enduring taunts and catcalls, etc., the good natured actor acquiesced and sat down with her for a match. He won.

Dude, that was very chivilrous of her to let him win. To imply that any man could beat any woman at anything physical is ludicrous. How about Stephen Hawkins kicking Martina Navratolova's But? NOT!

He was simply correcting someone. He hasn't used any hostility so far from what I've seen, so I feel it's unfair to be hostile in return. Disagreeing is fine, agreeing to disagree is fine, agreeing not to talk or respond to him is fine, there's not need to be hostile with someone who is talking in a civil manner, no matter how "wrong" you may consider him, we are all equals here, regardless of gender creed or religion.

btw sorry about the bold print, I have no idea why it's bold after the
quote.

We have both noted the hostility here from some of the females. What gives? I feel like some of you need to be sent to the time out chair untill you can behave like civilized young ladies. The original post was open to men and asked for no male bashing. Seriously, what gives? Why all the personal attacks?
