Peregrinus, once again we are in complete agreement. Women can be truly devious. I believe that even now, they are behind the scenes keeping the pressure on having society paint us as the cheaters and wrong doers, and while all the attention and focus stays on us, they go on about their business in the shadows, with no one the wiser. Despicable.
I have lots of views on how women are pulling the strings behind things. One of the prime examples is various religions, especially Catholicism (there is a reason that historically all the main figures were men and it is not what you think it is
Shaming men and idolising women, women are all things good and men are bad and corrupt.
As you say Kidd, any man who thinks women cannot be devious is sadly mistaken. Put this together with how much more indirect women are and things tend to be hidden more with them, under the surface rather than more plainly in view as with men.

According to Iona and Peter Opie, this first appears in a manuscript by the English poet Robert Southey (1774–1843), who added the stanzas other than the two below.
The relevant section in the version attributed to Southey was:
What are little boys made of made of
What are little boys made of
Snips & snails & puppy dogs tails
And such are little boys made of.
What are young women made of,
Sugar & spice & all things nice

Dam, I heard Johnny Soporno talk about this once. I thought he was bluffing
Far from it, I have always been quite shocked how men seem to deny this as part of their reality in society. It has gone on for centuries, if not forever.
, they were very popular in past centuries and were VERY widespread amongst the wealthy and better off classes, they were protecting the eggs of the women from other men. This has been mis-read, it was not the men that were untrustworthy otherwise it would not happen.
A woman has to let a man in in order to reproduce with her, it does not happen by accident. (apart from cases of rape, obviously)
Remember human females have concealed ovulation, so men unless they really take the time to track the female's cycle are usually unaware of when they are ready to conceive.. That alone should make you wonder as to why they have evolved this mechanism by which they conceal their ovulation cycle, not a conscious thing but something that they have evolved with, it has deep historical roots.
, just think about the number of methods that women have available to them. It is very unbalanced.
