Women are regulated by hormones, which do more than merely guide the
reproductive process.  The hormones have side effects, such as
moodiness (such as PMS), defensiveness and emotionalism, all of which
tend to cloud the thought process.  While the emotionalism and
moodiness probably have positive side effects when bonding with
babies, raising children and maintaining the household, they have just
the opposite effect when they crop up in the business world or in any
other situation where a logical decision must be made.  This is
precisely the reason God intended for man to lead the family and for
the wife to show graceful obedience to his leadership.  It is also a
good reason why women do not do as well in a business setting of
leadership.  They call it a glass ceiling, but in reality, they build
it themselves.

Here's to the land of the Longleaf Pine,
The Summerland, where the sun doth shine,
Where the weak grow strong, and the strong grow great,
Here's to Downhome, the Old North State.
