is it 'cause Miss Scarlett said something like, "If I have to lie, steal, cheat or kill. As God is my witness, I'll never be hungry again."? eh... prolly not... but like everyone else stated so far, I've yet to meet a 'frail' Southern belle... then again, most people like to claim FL 'ain't the south'.../ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

It probably has more to do with the fact they have to deal with Southern men - who aren't the stupid redneck so popularly protrayed, but who do tend to be hard-headed and not 'in touch with their feminine side'
