I have read for months in here (Gender and Women's Studies), wrong ideas about feminism. I have been scratching my head so many times that I will become bald (lol).

I am reading now a FANTASTIC book: "Backlash" by Susanne Faludi, suddenly, everything I have been reading in this Yahoo category against feminism makes perfect sense.

So, this is a small introduction to many more answers inspired by this book (lol)

How much do you feel the media has influenced people to have a wrong and negative idea about feminism and feminists?

*I'm not trying to convert anyone, I am simply posing a question that I have been wondering about.*
Most of us have heard of all the terrible things that Jesus went through to save mankind (beaten, cruxified, etc...). With that in mind, I was wondering if any people that don not believe in Christ or God would feel bad if there was undeniable evendence that Jesus died on their behalf in order for them to have the chance not to go to hell.
Personally I think that there would be some that still would not feel any remorse, but I could be wrong.
Once again, I am not trying to convert anyone, or force any beliefs on anyone. I am just wondering about this.

Ok, here it goes. I'm a little confused about the possibility of being pregnant. I know they say that women can be pregnant and still have a period. My boyfriend and I have had unprotected sex numerous times last month. Sometimes when I'm lost in the moment, and waiting for him to ***, I tell him to *** inside me just to get him off. Well, he had done that a few times around last months ovulation cycle. I had just recently had my period however. It managed to show up about a week and a half early, and only lasted 4 1/2 days, when it normally lasts about 8 or more days. Is there a possibility that I could be pregnant? I mean, I know that if you have unprotected sex that there is always a possibility, but with my period, is there still that possibility? I haven't experienced any vomiting, but a little nausea here and there, and I get little pains in my pelvic area, and I feel bloated. I'm also gaining weight. So Yeah or no?

I have Cingular and I am soooo sick of it. They are very unhelpful and get you with fees everywhere. And I really don't care for any of their phones or plans. The only thing I'll miss is "roll over"
So let me know!

Would you rather date (as in have a serious relationship with) a guy with average looks and a great personality (extremely, funny, intelligent, sweet, kind...everything you are looking for in a guy personality wise)

or..

a guy with perfect looks (brad pitt...or whatever you consider perfect...) and an average personality (not really funny, not overly smart, doesn't pay too much attention to you or your needs..)

obviously..i'm not mentioning looks and personality since everyone wants that :)

Now would you rather have sex with a guy that had a great personality, character etc..for one night

or..

would you rather have sex with a guy that looked great but had nothing to his personality ... if it was just a one night thing.

I have an in-class essay soon and I have had trouble really understanding the prompt...

"By the 1950s the Consititution, originally framed as an instument of national unity, had become a source of national discord and eventually contributed to the failure of the union it created. Assess the validity of this statement."
Basically, was it the Constitution that caused the Civil War?

If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it!

I went to talk to him and basically he said... Although the Consititution allowed for compromise, temorarily settling disputes, the main issue trying to be resolved, slavery, was originally in the Constitution and therefore caused "discord" among the nation.

I understand that slavery was a huge cause, and that it was in the Constitution, but why did it cause discord.

I was pondering this while watching a game, could post-lockout rules have effected the Effeiciency of the Powerplay?

I asked Awesome Bill to help me, unfortunatly we both couldn't find anything.

LITY has access to the NHL Database and maybe he could take data from the 03-04 season and compare it to the 05-06 season.

If a husband hurts his wife, and she calls the police, say in the middle of night or any other time, will they remove him from the house? and for how long, if he hits her, how quickly can you get protection from a restraining or protective order? can the police just walk away and leave him in the house??

Hi all,
I watch my local team play football but recently have been asked to take home the kit and water bottles etc.
The water bottles were really disgusting the first time i got them ,they hadnt been cleaned in ages. I asked the person ho used to do it before and she said that they didnt tell her she needed to clean the bottles. It turns out all she was doing was topping the bottles up each week with water, not even emptying the old water.
I wanted to know, what serious illness could you contract from the stale water? Could you get Legionaire's disease?
