Yes he was a strange man who was scared of women, but he was also funny.

Also I like "Show me a good loser, and I'll show you a loser"
I realize neither is by Wilde

6. "a strange man who was scared of women" ? |
|
HUH?
he was one of the greatest playwrights of the 20th century.
'scared of women'? don't you mean openly homosexual (well, not like today but...) in an era when it nearly cost him his life?
a strange man who was scared of women is hardly a fitting description of a literary giant like Wilde. :shrug:
"Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much." Oscar Wilde

7. That was just a disclaimer |
|
Because I expect a couple of, "He was a sexist prick" flames.

12. strange man who was scared of women? is that an euphemism for Gay |
|
If so, it is insulting to me, and incorrect biographically regarding Wilde.
