    It's relative.
    For woman, watching soccer is wasting time, for me, I enjoy watching it.
    For woman, setting up a business is dangerous and need to take a high risk, for me, it's a chance to learn more and get more what I cant get when I was employee

    I think it's also true if the sentence become Every woman has her follies......................................
    and often they are the most interesting thing she has got."


    Sorry to talk so more about this.
