3 Wise Women

I wonder what women think when they see scenes such as the one found in O Brother Where Art Thou, the one with the sirens... A remake of Homer's Odyssey.

For those of you not familiar with this... 3 women sing an enchanted tune and the travelers find them selves lulled into false sense of security. Comfortable, they forget their mission and laze about contented with the company of dames.

What do women think when they see other women playing to men's weakness'?

Are they thinking "I would never do something like that"?

Do they think "I remember the time I did that to a guy"?

Or "My man would never be that weak"?

Possibly "Why is that man so weak"?

What is the parallel parable for this other gender. What is a woman's weakness? What makes her put her goals aside and dance about in haze of deluded contented illusion?

I am horrified at the fact that the first things that spring to my mind are handbags and shoes.

I was reminded by friends and family that a woman's weakness is often their need for security or approval....

Ahhh. Of course. It makes perfect sense. On the one hand we have the man, lured in for eternity with the promise of one night. On the other hand, our woman is lured in for the night with the promise of an eternity. Very poetic.
