... natürlich von einem (bereits verstorbenen) Amerikaner netterweise:
The typical American female is sure that she has genius as a couturière, as an interior decorator, as a gourmet cook, and, always, as a courtesan. Usually she is wrong on four counts.
...
The American male is convinced that he is a great warrior, a great statesman, and a great lover. Spot checks prove that he is as deluded as she is. Or worse. Historo-culturally speaking, there is strong evidence that the American male, rather than the female, murdered sex in your country.

Wenn man das in die Betrachtung mit einbezieht, könnte das vielleicht ein klareres Bild ergeben. 😉
