Governance
"Men are governed by lines of intellect,
women by curves of emotion" *
or
might I have it incorrect
and really mean to say
that
men are governed by women's curves,
and women by men's lines.

* misquote of James Joyce actually from
Oscar Wilde's "An Ideal Husband" -
"A woman's life revolves in curves of emotions.
It is upon lines of intellect that a man's life progresses."
