This is obviously a non-scientific question but it seems most every girl I've ever met dislikes milk. It is way disproporinate to guys that I've met who do not like milk. Is it something genetic? Ask any girl around you if she wants a glass of milk then watch her reaction.

In the last 2 weeks I asked (then reiterated) a Q about female sex tourism. Only 2 answers (1 legit but just agreeing, the other from someone who obviously didn't understand). I'm in my library now doing research for a current events school paper (on another topic) and I notice in Tuesday's "Times" an article also mentioning the phenomenom (including the descriptive line "...[where] wickedly handsome young men with flowing dreadlocks...provide rent-a-dread services for women of every nationality, for most [of whom] it is a 4-day fling... " and I simply MUST take a minute's break to ask again...

Why does it seem that in the Yahoo-Answers community, in which Qs concerning male sexual practice and wanderings always seem to elicit 1 or 2 dozen mostly deriding answers, nobody seems to want to address this about females' behaviour?
(Please refer to my first two Qs on the topic which are more specific). Why such universal unwillingness to comment about the subject?

I think people are verbally abusive to me...or I'm overly sensitive or both...my theory is that they think I'm "all That" but I see things differently....all I want is to keep my childhood enthusiasm and have confidence. I love to have people around me and be in their company and I do care about them.
I take there criticism to Heart and I want to Stop this...but I don't know how.....Do I need to be tougher? Do I need to act a certain way?

Resolution for Housework Minimum Wage

1 Whereas: Housework is currently considered a non-market
2 commodity or invisible labor.
3 Whereas: A married family will spend an average of
4 28 hours a week on housework with an economic mean of
5 20,000 or more dollars a year.
6 Whereas: Many women do a majority of housework and as a result
7 are financially dependent on the income of a spouse.
8 Whereas: Unpaid cleaning, cooking, child or elder care, and other
9 types of housework are essential to the economic well-being
10 of the United States.
11 Let it be resolved by this student congress: That a minimum wage
12 for housework will be distributed monthly to qualifying U.S citizens
13 by the U.S. Department of Labor.

So basically i think it is trying to say that poor moms should get money?

I just read a great article about a group called The Compact, that agreed not to purchase anything new during the year 2006.

One member said "It is about being aware of the excesses of consumer culture and the fact we are drawing down our resources and making people miserable around the world."

So, what ONE item would be your last new item?
(Besides food and personal care items like medicine and soap)

Im having trouble explaining his seemingly Anal Expulsive tendencies. The whole thing just dosent seem to add up because nothing seems to go wrong for him until hes seven; which would rule out anal expulsiveness but it dosent make sense because his personality exactly fits an Anal Expulsive person; subsequently he also seems a little orally fixated also. So any ideas or help anyone could offer on him or in-depth knowlage of Freudian Psychoanalisis would be greatly appreciated. But please this is a college level term paper so only reply if you actually have factual insightfull info, I dont mean to be a dick but i just dont wanna fail.

A few simple facts. Even with a minimum wage increase to $7.25 and a fifteen percent tax rate that amounts to $12,818 a year after taxes and that's counting fifty two fourty hour weeks. If that same person pays $400 a month rent, $75 a week for food and $75 a week for other expenses, that adds up to $11,600. That leaves $1218 for the year for the rest of anything. How can people be so callous to say the stupid things they do, like go to college and get a better education.

I'm having difficulty understanding why politicians push for the raising of minimum wage when all it will do is cause inflation. If companies have to pay their workers more money, they will charge more for their goods or services, and the costs will go up for everyone, hence defeating the purpose. What is the point? I don't get a raise in my salary because of this increase. Doesn't it just screw anyone making more than minimum wage and in turn, screws people receiving that raise as well? Intelligent answers only please.

When I first came across the Women's Studies section I was expecting questions about the history of women's rights and that kind of thing. But all there seems to be here are thousands of questions asked by angry men, asking why women are so terrible, shallow, stupid, etc. and saying how amoral feminists are, and how great it would be if women were still like they were a century ago. Why are there almost no intelligent questions here?

I'm not a father and this obviously isn't a "practical" questoin but i saw on the boards here a questoin about "why would a man be attracted to his daughter" and it sort of got me thinking "why not?". We all simply assume that it's wrong, some sort of abuse, exploitation, perversion, etc but i don't think anyone is really able to formulate a logical argument for why it's wrong.... anyone?

sorry to jilt people's dispositions. I'm more of a philosopher than anything else. Trying to understand the abstract of it.
