[quote=GRIZ326,275941]Her comment was a low class blow at the integrity of men. Her implication was that men are easily manipulated by a woman's wiles. Consider the source.

Helena Rubinstein was a Polish gal, born as Chaja Rubinstein, who changed her name and made "snake oil" back in a time when there was no government to stop you. From the Wiki:

"She mixed so-called medical formulas and ointments that she claimed were imported from the Carpathian Mountains. They were, in truth, concocted from sheep oil whose odor was disguised with scents of lavender, pine bark and water lilies."

She was successful.

"In 1928, she sold the American business to Lehman Brothers for $7.3 million, an enormous sum at the time when income taxes were nonexistent. After the arrival of the Great Depression, she bought back the nearly worthless stock for less than $1 million and eventually turned the shares into values of multimillion dollars, establishing salons and outlets in almost a dozen U.S. cities. "

Do the musings of a snake-oil salesperson merit your consideration.
