...women gain self-respect, they are less willing to play the dominated role. Men (and women) seeking to dominate in sex don't have to look far to find a compliant, docile partner. Who could be less threatening than a child; who could be more handy than their child...
Thatcher flinches from no one. She has shaken a fist at Leonid Brezhnev, warning him against Soviet expansionism. She has served an ultimatum on her partners on the Continent, protesting the unfair financial burden imposed on Britain by the European Community. She has taken on Britain's powerful trade unions, reducing them from their self-appointed role as a partner in government to just another pressure group.

Understandably the U.S. is not very receptive to such arguments...
...seasoned fighters to relinquish their arms. The first ambitious efforts to integrate the rival armies have had mixed results; some training camps have reported persistent tensions and disciplinary problems among the guerrillas. Another potential threat to future stability: about 5,500 guerrillas loyal to Joshua Nkomo, Mugabe's partner in the former Patriotic Front, refuse to return from their bases in Zambia, largely because of suspicions arising from their leader's marginal role in the new government...
