also because people, not just men, who become leaders are psychopaths, so any damage they do is just a fun bonus, not something they'll sweat, a nice addition to the money, sex and power they get. And yes, sex too - power turns women on and powerful women turn men on too. e.g. I don't really consider JFK a rapist - he just never had to ask... any of his hundreds of conquests.

Seems to have happened to me too. If it were possible to disable my conscience I would probably opt for it. Where's Dick Fuld now, eh?? Employed.

But are you seriously referring to sexual intercourse that men initiate as "conquests" or was that non-serious?

What's wrong with that word. Women I know use it all the time. They don't mind being the subject of a transitive verb instead of the actor. One conquers them because they have huge ... tracts of land.

Thanks, you answered my question
