If there hadn’t been women we’d still be squatting in a cave eating raw meat, because we made civilization in order to impress our girl friends.1

Women are indeed in control. It isn’t necessary to declare a matriarchy but it exists just the same. Everything that a man does is laid at a lady’s feet whether it is a battle or a song, or an amalgamation between two great companies. At some time in the day the man comes home to his woman and says ‘look what I’ve done.’ 2

 

Leonard Cohen
