Courtney Love: Because it takes guts to murder your famous husband and make it look like suicide so you can be in the limelight.
Well it's arguable whether she killed him or not but that doesn't detract from the fact that she played a huge part in his suicide driving him to pursue success for her sake at the expense of Kurt's own mental well being...

I'm trying.

Like, really trying. I can't think of one.

Maybe someone can shake something in my head loose, but as it is now I honestly can't think of any at all.
Alright, I'll make it easier for you. Just one.
That doesn't really help at all though. If I could think of one, I would have posted that one.

I've never actually witnessed, or even really heard of, any women doing anything particularly impressive or interesting.

-Women comedians aren't funny because you just end up with 80% sex jokes and 20% jokes that only women would get or care about.

-Women like Oprah only really appeal to women. Obviously there are going to be men who are into it, but they're the exception, not the rule.

-As far as making any sort of scientific progress, they're entirely absent as far as I know. I think there was *one* who had made an actual relevant discovery, but the credit was given to her, her husband, and her best friend, which tends to leave an eyebrow raised.

-Just to knock stereotypes out of the running, women are few and far between as far as professional meal preparation goes.

-lol politics. Not that there's really anything to admire there from the men either though.

What does that leave as far as my interests could *possibly* be stretched, exactly? Nothing.

Women being attractive isn't really a reason to admire them either. Yeah, it takes as much work as it does genetics, but it's not impressive.

So, I'm drawing a blank :/

She is the most beautiful woman in the world.

Here are mine:

A prostitute drug addict, a drug addict and fucking Yoko?

Bad choices, seriously bad choices.

Mine- Pj Harvey- for rocking just as hard as the guys and being more fucked up
Emily Bronte- I love Wuthering Heights
Marie Curie- she won two nobel prizes (I think) that's gotta be worth something

What about Joan of Arc? Or are you trying to pick women from a certain time frame?
Not really looking at any specific time, though when the best source for information I have available is Wikipedia it makes it pretty pointless to try to look up stuff on someone that was dead hundreds of years before I was born.

I tried reading about her there, but in true Wikipedia fashion it's as uninteresting as possible.

And..... damn I'm coming up blank. Well I admire people who take charge, get shit done right, and look out for their people. So if you know any women who fit this description. I admire them.

It does occur to me that I might be a little biased with my hate for Yoko, I am a huge Beatles fan. If I could go back in time to one point in history it would be the Beatles Apple Corp. rooftop show.
