    Why would anyone commend this guy for writing such a sexist blatant ad promoting "sexy" costumes for purchase? Have we not come further in our fight for equality than to have a man author such a piece and other women commend him?

    Did any of the commentors read the article?

    Shame on the Yahoo! contributor network for allowing such garbage to be associated with its brand.

    This is no way to "teach" my three daughters "about some of the
    great, powerful women in the history of the world."

    How about a recognition that if women ran the world it would be a much better place?
