I agree wholeheartedly. Terrorism terrifies mostly women, who look at the "scumbag" lying next to them in bed and decide that he has a use after all. Women who despise their husbands do so only until they think they need something, then he's not so bad any more (until the feeling goes away).
If the men whose divorces were "called off" because of the crisis have an ounce of sense, they'll start quietly shipping money overseas as a future escape plan. The idea that she will still want to "patch it up" after the terror wears off is laughable.

Les Farkas sent me the following letter he wrote in response to a similar story which appeared in Salon.com:
I think what motivated so many women to tenderly start calling the men in their lives in the wake of this tragedy was the realization that we are at war - and women realize just what that means in practical terms. It means men disappearing, getting killed and paying the real price! Perhaps there is just a small tinge of guilt somewhere in their hearts for all the petty and mean spirited bashing and sniping at men that became all the vogue in recent years. One can sense how shallow a lot of male bashing was now that many females realize that you cannot take it for granted that men will always be around to make fun of. The longer peace and prosperity continued, and the more concessions we made to feminine sensibilities, the more men became fair game for every type of gratuitous ridicule and sniping. It took a very sad incident like the terrorist attacks, along with the fear of a war lasting years in which men might have to be drafted, to finally induce some humility and shame in our women. American women have become the equivalent of a matriarchal Taliban, proclaiming themselves Goddesses while belittling men. These crusaders for Total Female Control have now had their comuppance -- they are faced with a dangerous situation that can't be handled by women alone! "Girl Power"? "A woman can do anything a man can do only better!" "Chicks Rule"? Go prove it in the mountains of Afghanistan!!
