I'm sure the savior complex was like x1,000 back in the 19th century! I'm not that shocked, given some of the people I've met now who say all sorts of wacky things and people tend to fall for it until there's a big enough chink in the armor. I wish I could find more of these kinds of people in history and write biographies of them.

I don't doubt it. I'm sure women could just bat their eyelashes and men would hop right to the rescue.
It always surprises me when people fall for that stuff, but you're right. Even now people are incredibly gullible. It would be cool to have a sort of history of con artists book. I like the idea.
