Social Science - 27 July 2007

I often read on the internet from women, or hear from women in person, that they've got it "harder" than men.

Can women who attest to this statement explain why?

Because last I checked, it's women that get free drinks, don't have to pay to get in a club (or pay at a discount), doesn't have to "spit game"* or initiate conversation with a guy (since he has to do all of the work), and various other forms of sexist preferential treatment.

So what is it that makes women have it "so much harder" than a man?

Lindsay Lohan took 3 men hostage and drove erratically chasing her former assistant around Santa Monica driving through red lights at speeds around 100mph. She stopped for a moment, and one of the men jumped out of the car in fear, and Lindsay ran over his foot (the young man now has to walk with a cane and wears a cast/brace). When Lindsay was finally picked up by police, she shouted that that she wasn't driving, and that the "black guy was driving."

Is this an example of racism and sexism? Are we supposed to assume that only a man would do what she did? Are we supposed to believe that a black man would do this?

Will feminists (who claim they're for equal rights) speak out against Lindsay for being unequal by blaming a man for her antics, along with taking these men hostage against their will?

I've lost 30 pounds so far this year and I feel and look great! My problem is that with my new looks, I've acquired a nasty attitude! I don't understand it at all -- I'm usually an even tempered, happy go lucky person! Any suggestions or advise? Thanks!

Does welfare create people who cannot survive by working for themselves? If so, why do you think that is the case?

I woke up this morning with a really depressing feeling. I'm generally in a happy mood...I just feel like a cloud is hanging over, and something bad is going to happen today. I hope not!

you start exuding it in various amounts and other people will become it's carriers as well and eventually we will have a pleasent and liveable society.

what do you think about our ancestors? which ones were? do you think that the difference between science and religion is that the first explains HOW it happened and the second explains by WHOM?

say, you're having a real bad day where many things went wrong , you gets so depress at the end of the day, you can feel it all inside your chest but you're unable to throw it all away.

What will you do?
