For instance, men always devalue women, treat them as "commodites" and as objects. As such, it can be argued that women are considered a "lesser" sex/gender, something on the bottom rungs of a social/political/economic ladder, with men on top. How can women break free from these bottom rings and move up the latter? (Anthropology, Sociology, Psychology).

..........people couldn't afford their rent or mortgage anymore? And people had to start doubling up pooling their incomes and they still couldn't afford to make ends meet? Because that's where we're heading. Where's it gonna end????

While there are international trade groups and treaties you may see that individual countries still create barriers to open and what is properly called "FREE TRADE." Why is this?

Seats.
The one with the big ole hole in it and the other, which serves as the lid or a seat.

Now I know men leave the seat up, Right? Right.

When women use the toilet I have noticed they leave the lid up and the seat down.
Men on the other hand leave both the lid and seat up.

But pray tell, what is the difference?

Men have since time began left the seat up. So the ladies ought to know to check to besure the seat is down.

I know peeing on the seat is offensive to the ladies and i admit it is to me to, see that, that is why I always lift the seat, and admit, do not always put it down.

So then, How come the women do not put the lid down if they are so adament about putting the seat down?
It is not are fault your pretty little bottom gets wet.

Is it true that the Human species will never get smarter unless people kill the stupid? Researchers found an ancient Greek calculator 1000 years more advanced than it was supposed to be. That person who designed that calculator 1000 years ago is probably smarter than 99% of humans today.

I heard that the most commonly reported fear is public speaking. I am a naturally shy person, in fact I am very shy compared to many people. But why is it that public speaking is so easy for me even though I don't do this often?

Ok, here is your chance to be positive about yourself - not always that easy for many people. Be honest, and say one good thing about yourself - one good quality, feature, whatever.

I'll start - I am an excellent listener.

Somebody tells you how to do something that you've done for years, and you tell them that you already know, and they get offended. Then, an hour later, while they are watching, you make a silly error at that something that makes it look like you've never done it before, and said person nags you for the rest of the day.

Border Collies and Labradors are intelligent dogs, but there are some which aren't as intelligent, yet they are the same species. So is it the same with humans? Are whites more intelligent than blacks or vice versa? I'm assuming if that was true, no-one would say it anyway as it would be considered too "un-pc."

Umm...I like your fire !!
I do not like it when you are rude and YOU know when you are being rude. You have high barriers around you, which you refuse to lower for fear of getting hurt. You dont trust people very much. All of this is fine....people have different personalities some open, some closed. You tend to lean to the side of closed. Its hard to read what is going on in your mind. That is an obstacle . This part explains your attitude. You are presentable and sociable when you choose to be....so your personality is usually nice. Yes you are turn-on is a lot more to do with the mind than it is do with the body. You dont sleep with some one just because they have good body or great legs. The mind needs to be stimulated for the body to follow. Even then its speculative. Our relationship has a lot of spark....and I suppose all that energy will be positive in a physical sense of union. But then I could be wrong, maybe we will fail to excite each physically. But mentally i like
