Seems that whenever the subject of women initiating 2/3 of divorce, and the fact that single mothers are responsible for a host of anti-social consequences for the child:

http://www.civitas.org.uk/pubs/experiments.php

Including (as condensed and quoted from the National Centre for Policy Analysis):

*Among long-term prison inmates, 70 percent grew up without fathers, as did 60 percent of rapists and 75 percent of adolescents charged with murder.

*They are also up to 40 times more likely to experience child abuse compared with children growing up in two-parent families.

I am asked rhetorically, "why shouldn't a woman be able to leave an abusive or cheating partner?", when statistics show they fall within under 20%, as 80% are "no fault":

http://www.divorcemag.com/statistics/statsUS.shtml

Percentage of divorces due to irreconcilable differences in 1997: 80%.

So what's with the myth based abdication of responsibility, feminists?

Maybe they just won't stop trying to get him angry they know what pushes a mans buttons, maybe they flirt too much with others, don't help enough with the bills or turn eveything around on the man, some don't clean or cook even if they don't work. Maybe woman are sometimes causing a man to be a jerk right?

I've come to recognize a very odd character trait of my older brother that's gotten to be quite annoying. This is what happens - I'll mention to him that something about someone bothers me and that I don't think that person likes me very much either - and he'll either confirm it by saying something like "yeah I can see that" and then chime in with "but they like me." He does this almost anytime I bring up someone not liking me - or he'll say Mom loves me more, and on that note our little cousins were over our house the other day and he literally out of the blue says "you know they love me more." The reason it gets to me is that it's just so random and it's really annoying. I guess my question is what causes that sort of behavior? I understand that this is a vague topic and hard to pinpoint without some analysis but generally what causes this form of behavior from someone? Anyone with experience think they can help me out? My brother is 27 and I'm 22

The reason why i ask is that some Esquire magazines had just came in the mail and like every other magazine which had the headline "What men dont know about women" i decided to read through it and found out that women prefer the natural scent of a man than a guy who wears cologne, which i am a bit embarassed bc i know myself as the type of guy who wears cologne. So is this true?
What would i do without Yahoo! answers. Thanks in advance, I love you women. Speaking of women, MEN, PLS DONT ANSWER THIS QUESTION. THIS QUESTION IS NOT FOR MEN SO I DONT WANT YOUR OPINION. Yea i know, ouch.

I had a dream last night that has been bothering me all day. I dreamt that I was at a theatre, and my ex and his new girlfriend were in the play that me and a blond guy went to see. I don't recall what the play was about, but at curtain call, when the cast of the play came out to bow, my ex looked right at me and I glared at him, and snuggled up to whoever the guy I was with. I recall noticing that my ex was wearing a LOT of makeup, and his new girlfriend looked thinner (shes quite a big girl). Niether My ex or his new flame are theatre kind of people (we went to see "footloose" and he fell asleep!) I am not dating anyone right now, but I remember feeling very affectionate with the man I was with, even though I don't know who he was. This dream has me really confused. HELP!!!!!

Imagine you wake up 2moro and discover that everybody you ever met was a dream. Even your parents. That they don't exist....that you're the only human on this planet. How would you stay alive. What would you do? Will you be motivated enough to stay alive or will you die?

I just realize this.

I recently wrote a fictional peice for an optional school assignment. I was procrastinating about starting it, but then I got really mad at my mom and sister for something. I know I was overreacting now, but while I was in my room with the labtop, my best writing was going on. After I had cooled down, so did my writing. Now that I look at the story, the first few paragraphs are so full of feeling and emotion, and it wears off after a while. Those paragraphs aren't even showing anger in the character, more like fear and sadness, but not anger.

So why does my best writing happen when I am angry?
