I don't know really but my instinct is to say that it doesn't work like that, but perhaps for different reasons. Think of the Scully of Khyber and Justin Glass and Stephen (err...can't remember his surname) and others: they are generally kick-ass hard Scully's, resilient and kind and bright and totally capable, more-or-less how we generally like her. But then there's a male fantasy thing about tough women isn't there? Angelina Jolie is after all pure male drool material.

Plus I read in New Scientist last week that apparently tears are a physical turn-off due to their chemical composition. Men, apparently, really just do not LIKE women's tears! Still, it would be great to have some male input into all of this but I guess fantasizing and daydreaming were unlikely to be helpful on the great mammoth hunts of yore. They are genetically incapacitated for this type of discussion...

That's my stereo-typing done for the evening. I'm off to read the next great story, can it be AS GOOD?
