And all because Darla's group, had to stand behind her angst; even when it was explained how she was wrong.
My theory is most men can stand on their own two feet, while women tend to huddle in groups. Owl (and Darla?) know this and provide a Pavlovian Elixir to susceptible women. The women are so desperate for the Elixir, that they sell their souls to maintain their Group membership. I'm guessing it has to do with the hormone Testosterone but maybe it's something else?
