Power Women

I've always had a healthy respect for power women, and that's what influenced my final decision for my Chinese detailed study. urm.. no.. confucius wasn't female :D

see both confucius and pandas turned out to be pretty common topics. but when i was at the tutor's she gave me about an hour's worth of history lesson in chinese *sweat*
you can imagine it's like this:
tang lao shi: and so-and-so battled with so-and-so and so-and-so killed so-and-so and so-and-so invented this and that and so-and-so became emperor and so-and-so died and was overthrown by so-and-so and thus so-and-so dynasty started..
(so and so's are all different :D)
me: *completely lost*
tang lao shi: so what have you decided?
me: um. the lady that was really incestuous and married some dude and his son.

thus i ended up with the topic of wu zetian, the one and only female emperor in chinese history. she made her own dynasty too. how she came to power? she started off a concubine, and then married the emperor and when he died she married his son. ._. and in the process killed alot of other people along the way.
yeah i know she's ugly. what i don't get is how both a father and son could find her attractive ._.

rawrrr. lol. well i suppose they must have had a different idea of beauty in those days.
