(And yes, that is a sexist image. But try to use positive sexist stereotypes - i.e., that women are inherently nicer than men - and you risk inadvertently conjuring negative ones...
...trying to put yourself in that space. And when you're drawing something, all sorts of associations come up in my mind that I never would have thought of otherwise. Even compositional connections start cropping up that I didn't necessarily plan. Or, on the other hand, sort of in between there might be something where I think, "Oh this seems to connect to this."

There is speculation that the photo in question, which shows President Clinton gripping the Dalai Lama?s hand during a tete a tete in Vice President Gore?s office (the White House decided to arrange the meeting outside the Oval Office in hopes of quelling Chinese objections), may have raised Chinese ire because it seems to show the Lama in an official role. Such a distinction, however, seems unlikely...
