Because we have an opposing opinion? Are we women supposed to automatically support each others opinion because we share the same body parts? I'm guessing you don't understand that there are women out there who have complete control of their lives and their sexuality. I'm also guessing you think most, if not all, women have damaged self-esteem. They don't. Do abusive relationships exist? Absolutely. I highly doubt this is one of them. Persecute?

I’m guessing you don’t understand that there are women out there who have complete control of their lives and their sexuality. I’m also guessing you think most, if not all, women have damaged self-esteem.
They don’t.

Do abusive relationships exist? Absolutely. I highly doubt this is one of them.

How sad that when one woman expresses herself- other women feel the need to persecute. I'm guessing the anger is a result of a very limited opportunity to express it. Naomi Wolf comes to mind.....she reminds me that as long as women are pitted against each other, we will all suffer. How unfortunate that we have missed the point of Jane's article-and how sad that we all fight over our rights to have opinions. We still seem to need to act out more than consider. I have to ask the other women here- did David Letterman write to us? No. I love your opinions- however- I'm not sure you truly understand that they are just that-for all of us.

Time to move on from the 1950's, Jane Shure. I think you've been watching too much "Mad Men". Describing women as spineless and incapable of making a rash decisions because she has emotions?!? That's up there with Newt Gingrich saying women can't serve in combat, "If combat means living in a ditch, females have biological problems staying in a ditch for thirty days because they get infections..." Smart and funny is sexy in my book and that is why I personally find Letterman attractive. David Letterman paid all of his staff salaries during the writers strike. Entire staff, entire length of strike. Another winning point in my book and not the ego driven sex maniac you attempt to portray. And, Ms. Birkit just graduated Law School, so your portrayal of the stereotypical doe-eyed college intern is extremely inaccurate, as is your insinuation that these women "spend long hours engaged in efforts to please him". Silly me, I thought these capable women did the job they were hired to do. But, according to you, the expert, they are nothing more than a paid harem. Today's woman has a lot more control of her sexuality than you are willing to admit. Way to throw women back to The Dark Ages. As a woman, I find this article completely offensive.
