Hmm...Sexist. Well, we can agree to disagree on that one. The humor
applied was a bit silly, I admit, but could equally be applied to a male
singer like....Ricky Martin. Wondering whether someone's "power" lies
somewhere other than their music is not synonymous with thinking, because
I'm a male, I'm better than a female.
