...women overestimate their own desirability? Is that part of it? I think they do. I talked to a lot of experts about this sort of sense of entitlement that women of our generation grew up with. I'm all for girl power and all of that, but I think that a lot of us are "yes women" to each other. We say, "You should hold out for the better guy. Oh yes, absolutely, you deserve the best." I think we do ourselves a disservice where we kind of inflate each other's egos to the point of unreality. Guess what...
...write about women in their 20s having more power. What do you mean by that? Women in their 20s have the most power in that they're at the top of the totem pole in the dating hierarchy. They're the most desired age group biologically - in terms of childbearing ability, in terms of their appearance and also just in their attitude.

Asia has also become a leader in promoting free trade, as a proliferation of free-trade associations (FTAs) continues to push back the power of the state.

Tymoshenko claims Yanukovych would be a puppet for the country's powerful oligarchs...
...built her campaign around promises of a sharp crackdown on embezzling bureaucrats and the oligarchs who have used their political influence to circumvent the law and take control of much of the economy. She blames Yushchenko's "weakness" for the rampant lawlessness. "He didn't stand the test of power," she told TIME in an interview in December. Tymoshenko says she will display no such timidity. At a campaign stop in southern Ukraine in January, she told supporters, "Sometimes I'm envious of China, where they have just what's needed for punishing corruption - they cut off hands and execute...
