... we returned to normal size when we were out. This was all after I mysteriously woke up in the hospital.

I don't even want a baby, and I haven't been to a hospital in years.

Any ideas?

I'm not looking for a dictionary definition so no links to elswhere please.

Patriarchy describes a society where men are in charge, so then does Matriarchy describe a society where women are in charge?

If in a matriarchal society men and women have equal status then would we be better off calling them 'partnership society'?

There seems to be a subtle presupposition that men are the badies and women are the goodies; that when men are in charge inequality, war and exploitation prevail but when women are in charge, equality, freedom and cooperation prevail.

I've met some manipulative, controlling women in my time and I've met some very fair, patient and sensitive men. Do you think feminists are just projecting things they don't like in themselves onto men

Neighbors moved in last year & we were fast friends. One nite "Pam & Dick" came to celebrate.All had a great time, had several drinks & I said how great it was to have friends who loved & had no issues.They made a liar out of me!Dick left a earlier than Pam & we went to see what he was doing.He went home & drove off.Next morning Pam called early crying.He came home & beat her!She called the law & he was arrested.Other neighbors & I came to her rescue.We spent time wondering why. I asked if he did this B4 she said yes & I asked how often, she replied enough.A restraining order gave her a week.He called her & told her that it was MY fault!He returned early.My husband came home he told me he was over there(I can't see).I didnt call her.I didn't want to start any trouble & thought they might be working things out.arrested again for violating the order - he blamed me!Now she started sneaking over & I worry he'll find out.I cringe every time I see her coming but she needs hugs & kindness!

Maybe I should have asked, "Are you a cynic and why?" Has all the spam and wild claims of advertising made us not believe in anything anymore? There is research out now that will revolutionize the world, so all the news isn't bad. The only problem is, it's not in the news, proving the old adage, "No news is good news." By the time good news reaches people it's not really new anyway, but presented as a 'new' discovery. Anything good though is so picked apart by readers not even the carcass is left. How can we change this to where people listen before they leap? Of course the skeptic will say, with not so antisceptic words, "We don't have to change anything." Isn't that fatalism and isn't that a self fulfilling prohecy? That's too many questions. Let's put it to one question, "Does anyone have any good news?"

so, last night, I had the most intense nightmare i have had in five years. a close friend of mine let me know of this spirit that existed in the world. he went by a name which i cannot recall, but once i began to accept his presence, i could not escape him. before i knew it, he was everywhere with me, and I could no longer function on an everyday level. the worst part was that no one, save my friend kathy, could see or feel his presence. i even went home to my parents house, and he was still with me.
in his presence, i felt all the coldness and loneliness of the world, and it was enough to take away all hope and purpose. there is more, but that is the general gist of it. any thoughts?

* 5. Untruthfulness and insincerity.
* 6. Lack of remorse or shame.

do you pretend they didnt?
or say something back to them,like tell them you found what they said offensive.
Its even worse when people are so blunt to you when other people are there.
also how do you react to the person ,in the future-stay away,or purposely insult them?
I am confused because I dont know how to be to someone who has I feel insulted me,but has also done a lot for me in the past.

I am in my third year of college (still a sophomore, went part time in the beginning) and am feeling very anxious and worried. I am studing to be a special ed. teacher, and I really am determined but I am letting other people effect my progress. I feel like I should be in a career with kids at 27, not going back to school to begin a teaching career. I don't want this to ruin the progress I have already made. Any advice and motivaitonal words would be apprieciated.

Could you all imagine the world where women are more dominant then men in almost every aspect of life? What kind of world would we have then? Is it better or worse then our own world here and now?

Parallel to the Feminism in our world, I imagine men would rally and have the Masculism in that world.... what do you think would be Masculism agenda in that world? Do you agree that there would be some radical Masculists, or should I say Male Sex Supremacists? I do believe that (again, parallel to radical Feminists/ Female Sex Supremcists in our world).
