In my previous question, which apparently was not well-written enough for some posters, someone compared my gender classification for athletic activities to racism. First, I am personally offended as I date a African American women.

And unlike race, there is biolgoical strength, power and hormonal (namely, testosterone) differences tha justify separating athletics based on sex. To compare this to racism is insulting to me, and plain stupid.

How come the top high school men's team basketball team in the county could beat the top women's professional team? The answer is simple: inherent physical differences. That cannot be changed unless you pump woman's bodies full of testosterone. There is no policy that will eradicate this.

I guess I'm sexist, but since I date an African American attorney, I hardly qualify as racist or completely shovanistic. Guys like me, who do consider women equals, wish they women would recognize our one advantage.

This guy that I've been talking to on the phone for about of week now seems interested in me but whe haven't had a lengthy conversation since last Wednesday. He'll call me in the morning to hear my voice and wish me a good day at work. Ok today he called me from another and he was like you didn;t know who I was did you and he laughed? I asked him where was he at and he told me that he was coming from his dad's house. He told me that was his other number. So I called him a playah and we both laughed and he told me to save this number in my cell phone too. I really couldn't talk because I was still at work. So I tried calling him back but he didn;t answer which is cool. Maybe I'm being too paranoid but why I didn't get this number day 1? And is this a sign of a playa.

BTW - We know each other through mutual friends. He has seen me several times and I don't recall seeing him though,

What I dreamed was that I was on a ship in the middle of the ocean and i was having an argument with somebody, i don't even know that person, and that person threw me off the ship and i was flyin and flying until i hit the water really really hard and i was drowning and i remember seeing sharks and they were going to eat me then i woke up, but i really didn't wake up. I was still in my dream, I was in my room but i didn't have the same clothes that i did when i went to sleep, then i really did wake up because my brother turned on the light in my room. My question is what does my dream mean?? About being on a ship in the middle of the ocean then getting throwed off and drowning and alomst being eatin by sharks and then waking up, but im are still dreaming, then i really do wake up.

The questions is.. A study showed that if they knew that there was a 100% guarantee that they would NOT be caught, the majority of men would not hesitate to sexually assault a female acquaintance. Please post your thoughts and answers to this, I am very interested to see the results. Thanks.

When someone has mental control over someone else, but that person doesn't take any more of it and ends it....how does the other person feel when they lose this control? For example someone who has manipulative tendencies or mental abusive behavior, how does this peson feel when they lose that control and cant be empowered by the "enabler" so to speak? I am very curious. Anyone that is a psychology major, psychologist or anyone can relate from experience please comment. Thanks.

I work with a man (in his mid-60's) who sometimes uses this term to describe women--often with children--he sees in stores, driving around, at restaurants, on vacation, etc. He doesn't mean to be offensive, but this term sounds so 1950's and other women around him have remarked negatively about his usage of the term. I have to admit, it bugs me as well. Ladies, what's your opinion?

I was just wondering whether someone while under the influence (drunk) is likely to tell to the truth, just be more honest with what they are saying... I know this person that hates to talk about certain things but when under the influence speaks out her mind like there's no tomorrow... Can these things being said be taken to be true, out of her subconscious, or can they just be random mumbling due to the alcohol... Can you guys help me here, there are some things that were said that are very important to me if they were to be true... should i take them as serious or simply desregard them as b.s. due to the alcohol? Thanks.

For years I have wanted to do things which I never got done.
Right now I am in China, teaching. I came here with the hope
to get to know myself better here, but things are not working out.
I have a much smaller salary than I expected and cannot
even buy the things I need for my flat and so it is empty.

Some minutes ago, when taking a taxi I reacted stupidly, and am rather worried now (see quesiton on taxidrivers in Beiing)

Please some encouraging words.
