As I keep reading the "Your favourite weapon" thread as "your favourite woman", I thought I might add to my own confusion by opening this thread.

Who is your favourite woman (or women)?

For me, it's my best friend Christiane. I've known her since we both were 3 years old, and despite the fact that we now live in different countries, we still have a lot of contact and visit regularly. There not a single person in the world who knows me better than she does :)

Out of the women I don't know personally, I think it has to be Artemisia Gentileschi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artemisia_Gentileschi) ...

My g.f.

Of women I know: My mom.
Of women I don't know: I like Angelina Jolie and Kat Bjelland, but I dunno if they're my favorite or not.

My wife of course.

My Mum :)

Who is your favourite woman (or women)?

Ilie (Always the fantasy. *le sigh*)
Joan of Arc (Crazy bitch actually pulled it off!)
Jane Fonda (Anyone who can instill that much vitriol in the great unwashed is ok by me)
Dame Edna (For obvious reasons)
Oscar Wilde (Quiet, you)
Janis Joplin (For being fearless)
Audrey Hepburn (Very definition of Class)
Everyone's Mom.

I'll say my girlfriend.
:D :fluffle:

Who is your favourite woman (or women)?
Besides myself?

My mom is right up there. She's currently involved in a really nasty case in which a millionaire asshole has raped his daughters, and he's now using very high-priced lawyers to harass my mother because she is testifying for the prosecution (she's a therapist who has been seeing one of the daughters). Most of her collegues wouldn't even take on the case because of how messy it would get. My mom is a badass, though, and she's standing her ground because she's just that awesome.

i would have to say amy goodman and mya angilo. neither of whome i have the slightest idea what they look like. and i'm not saying i'd want to have to live with either of them or anyone else male or female either.
ursula k leguine would have to be one of them too.

just as my favorite man would have to be mahandus k ghandi.

as for wives or mothers, if either of mine wanted to make this list they would have to stop trying to coerce me into equating thoughtlessness with love.

there was someone once, who loves horses the way i love trains. i wish i could have married her if anyone. life didn't work out that way.

=^^=
.../\...

Favorite woman I know now? Well, I am marrying her in three months.

Favorite female non-human? Hmmm...either my cat or my dog.

Favorite historical woman? Argfa...tough choice. The hard part of it is that, of the women in politics, I don't often agree with them politically, such as Margaret Thatcher. And I can't pick Eleanor Roosevelt, since my fiancee claims her as her favorite (and frankly, I happen to be an FDR admirer...) I'll just say Joan of Arc; she got a raw deal.

My wife, Sheila. I'm pretty fond of my sister, too. :)

Of those I don't know, hmm ... I recently discovered Barbara Stanwyck, who, besides being a terrific actress, appears to have been a genuinely good person despite Hollywood. And Teddy Roosevelt's daughter, Alice, for saying, "If you haven't anything nice to say, come sit by me." (TR, after being interrupted in the Oval Office three times by Alice and threatening to throw her out the wondow, said, 'I can either run the country or I can attend to Alice, but I cannot possibly do both.'" And Harper Lee, for writing that wonderful book, oh, and I'm sure there are lots more.

Good thread, Cabra. :D

Audrey Hepburn, darling.

Good luck to her! I hope she wins!

Audrey Hepburn, darling.

Oh, she's adorable! :)

Hehe... now we know where you got that from. Very good! I do hope she'll make that bastard pay.

Well, I am Milhouse to Bottle's Lisa...Bottle rocks...(sorry, that made me chuckle...)

For realzise, um-I guess Stacy. She was a friend of mine during my first attempt at college. She was a voice major who could switch back and forth from opera to folk and was just geniunely nice, pleasent person. She was the first person I met where "honest" and "just speak m y mind" wasn't code for "I'm an attention whoring asshole." She'd just say anything and sometimes it wasn't flatering but she wasn't trying to be mean and would get flustered when it was. And it was never really that mean at all.

She loved VWs and got me into them. I had a 914 at the time that was a total rattrap and the only reason it ever ran was because she liked nothing better than to wrench on it in her spare time, when she wasn't pulling off massive projects with her small fleet of beetles. She swapped engines on two bugs in an afternoon in like she was switching out legos. And she could pack even my tiny 914 full of stuff so that when she unpacked it looked like she was reaching into another dimension. To come out to the garage and see a great pair of legs sticking out from underneath my car while she belted Puccini was pretty cool.

I keep saying was, she's still alive. She's with her husband in SoCal raising three kids and I still talk to her now and then. She's about the coolest person I've ever met.

Except for Gonzo, but that goes without saying...

Good luck to her! I hope she wins!
I think she will, because I think the defense has to be pretty desperate to be going after my mom. They're trying to smear her by implying that her resume has falsified information, but she's one of the best and most respected therapists in the state. I'm not even exagerating when I say that (yet another reason I think she kicks ass), so you know they're really reaching when they try to attack her that way. They've got nothing else going for them except the hope that their scare tactics will get her to drop the case or refuse to testify.

They don't know her very well. :D

I am the lizard queen!

my best friend…who I don’t see enough of:(

*despite popular belief no just NO!

Mami!
Schwesterherz.

And then that girl I haven't met yet but who will certainly proof to be great girlfriend, fiancee, wife, and mother of my children. (She will, of course, move up this little list once we've met. ;))

If anyone has seen her, send her my way :D

I'm still waiting for someone to say "You, of course, Cabra!"

And I'm getting impatient... :p ;)

I have to include my mom, of course. She's not still around, but she was an awesome scientist who discovered two new species of birds in the amazon jungle, fought for the survival of wildlife and so forth.

I have managed to know more than a couple of awesome women. I used to help to produce a show about the stories of marvelous and heroic women, some of them almost epic, and some of the stories of the participants were awesome. Want to hear just a pair of stories?

A woman from Panamá, she survived the treatment of Noriega's "dignity" militias for two weeks without telling them the location of the hideout of his son. She was both emotionally and physically scarred, but made her torturers fail.

Another from Ecuador, she lost her two arms after she managed to turn an old VW that was crushing her little one's leg after an earthquake. Her pull was so strong that she ripped apart her own muscles, damaging them so badly that the doctors had to amputate them. I have never seen a more proud woman in my life.

Two more from here, Venezuela. One foiled a bank robbery after one of the felons stumbled, fell and lost his shotgun. She picked it up, blasted the second assailant's kneecaps and scared the fallen one until police arrived. The other one, this one a granny, managed to hit a demented guy firing a gun at the crowd she was in, with the flag pole she was carrying, managing to disarm him while he was placing a new magazine in the gun.

And Bottle's mom, too. That story would be one of my favorite coverages.

Let's not forget myself. Right now I AM my personal favourite.

I'm still waiting for someone to say "You, of course, Cabra!"

I thought that was always assumed :D

Besides my family? Probably this girl Caitlyn in my History Revolutions class. We have funny conversations.

Ilie (Always the fantasy. *le sigh*)
Audrey Hepburn (Very definition of Class)
Everyone's Mom.

I've still got my crush on Ms Hepburn. My favorite woman has to be my wife, though. Anyone that can put up with me, every day, for 23 years is remarkable.

How could I pick just one?

I'd say a tie between 3 of my female friends, in terms of people I actually know. Otherwise, Starhawk (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starhawk)'s pretty damn awesome.

MY MOTHER

(returns to living at home with no girlfriend):D

Real? My best friend Leesa. She always holds me accountable for what I do wrong and she's always there encouraging me to do right.

Ilie (Always the fantasy. *le sigh*)
Joan of Arc (Crazy bitch actually pulled it off!)
Jane Fonda (Anyone who can instill that much vitriol in the great unwashed is ok by me)
Dame Edna (For obvious reasons)
Oscar Wilde (Quiet, you)
Janis Joplin (For being fearless)
Audrey Hepburn (Very definition of Class)
Everyone's Mom.

Damn, THAT is a compliment. You should have flown out for the Baltimore meetup. :p

My current girlfriend! She's totally, and I mean TOTALLY, awesome! :D

Any woman that'll sleep with me. :p

guess.


her and my mum :)

guess.


her and my mum :)


Umm... Paris Hilton? :D (sorry Glitz, that was too good to pass up).


For me, well I have 5 close friends in this world, all of them are female so they get to share "favorite woman" honors.

Hahaha, I don't mind, cos he hates her, so she isn't much competition :p



And, in answer to the question, I honestly don't know...

My mum is up there because she helps me through lots of things.

Then my best girl friend Vicky who I've only known for about 6 months but we're best of mates.

Good for your mom!

However, I was under the understanding that therapists could not divulge such information....confidentiality laws?

I'll never ever understand why some guys think bones are sexy...
*shrugs
They're mild necrophiliacs, but aren't in a position to look at any actually dead women's bones?

I dunno...

Oh and "my mum".

Okay, there we go:

On NS, Cabra west is my fovorite woman.

Yay!

Have a fluffle :fluffle:



Yep, I can be a self-centered little bitch ...

My wife.

Would it count as a troll if I said "God"?




And yes, I'm kidding - I'm actually an atheist.

I'll never ever understand why some guys think bones are sexy...
*shrugs

Yeah. You gotta figure that burger weighs more than her.

They're all the same with the lights off.

Hm... That's a tough one. It's easier to name my least favorite one. In either case, I wouldn't put their names online. No telling what that might lead to...

Damn, THAT is a compliment. You should have flown out for the Baltimore meetup. :p

You deserve to be on the top of a very short list. ;)

How about you fly out for the TX/OK one? :D

I'm still waiting for someone to say "You, of course, Cabra!"

And I'm getting impatient... :p ;)

You of course, my loveable, flufflicious woman!

It was just a matter of waiting for me to get to work.

They're all the same with the lights off.

No... some of them can give you bruises. You might even get a splinter in your... well, ouch, in any case.

My ex-girlfriend. She's always really funny and hyper.

You of course, my loveable, flufflicious woman!

It was just a matter of waiting for me to get to work.

It's nothing to do with you, my dear, but I can't imagine going to Texas on purpose.

i went to see maya angelou speak last night.

it seemed like she is many many people's favorite woman. she is my favorite not-a-member-of-my-family woman anyway.

First favorite: My mom, she takes priority over everything in my life.

My favourite woman is my ex-girlfriend. She's so cool, and funny. I love her...

Not in that way though...

I have to ammend my earlier post. My favorite woman is my new girlfriend. :D
