Social Science - 28 September 2007

Ok, have seen a fair bit said here over the months in GWS about how women should stay at home and look after the house, the kids and her husband and shouldn't go out and try and get a career or even simply work at all.
But isn't it unfair to the husband if the woman isn't out there earning money as well once the kids are old enough in order to help ease the burden on the husband working so many hours?
Wouldn't it be taking the easy way out if the woman remained at home once the children are school age,etc?

Also, if fathers are important to their children, why is it ok for them to have careers and mothers to not have careers?
Children need both parents to be there for them and I've heard of many men feeling resentful that they are being overworked and have not enough family time. Someone does have to bring in the money, yes, but why not both parents share the burden?
Thoughts please?

I realized that ever since I was a child,I've pushed people away.Either by cruel remarks/teasing or negative sarcasm.People pointed it out to me early in life and I just brushed it off.When I did do it,I though it was funny/cool..now I realize all I did was alienate myself /make enemies.I don't have any friends or healthy relationships and the ones I ruined I don't think I'll get back.I've been like this for as long as I can remember......Why am I this way? Is there anyone like me?

Imagine that overnight humanity becomes unable to speak or write any language, like total aphasia, but generalized. You try to speak, but you can only sprout gibberish sounds and mangled pieces of words, you run to a monitor and you find you're unable to read.
Everyone is in the very same condition... could you describe this world?

Blind people do not have a conception of images,colors, etc. if they were born blind. Can they dream? If so, do they dream through touch, since they cannot see?

there is no biological reason as to why we should or must survive. why is there such thing as survival of the fittest if entropy eventually catches up. give me one good answer as to why life is built for survival. my opinion is that there is no reason for survival when looked at from a scientific perspective, but i am a religious person, so i have reason for my survival. what is the point of survival???
you tell me. any abusive or idiodic replies will be reported

I seem to have this problem where I feel pain more easily than others do. It feels like a crushed heart. Yes, definitely a crushed heart. I feel this way whenever I see a sad TV show, movie, read a sad book, or when I feel sad myself. I know this is supposedly normal, but is there any way to help let go of this pain quickly? Instead of just forgetting about it cause I always seem to remember things I don't want to remember.
Any answers would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

i'm doing a year-long final proj.. due in like 2 mths.. and i realise there's so many freaking things i dont know.. or dont fully understand, that i dont know how to start asking.

i'm rather introverted, and i'm really afraid of asking stupid questions.. i'v asked my grp mates some before, like, what is it for? etc etc when i'm supposed to know it before starting the proj.

do you think i shld start asking the stupid questions now?

the internet spews up some really chimology that i dont think i can understand, given this short period of time..

and erm.. what do you think of ppl who ask stupid questions? liek their brain is not working and they ask 'huh what is BCR?' when the answer is on the whiteboard but the person nv notices it?

I was raised to go to school and get a good job - keep acquiring more so I can help my family. I'm addicted to work, sounds stupid but I have to excel at what I do and that prevents me from truly enjoying life. So I'm curious are you chasing your career still and if not, when did you decide that other things were more important.. and HOW did you transition into that new mindset? How did it affect those around you?

I'm 24 and I went through severe bullying when I was in grade, middle, and high school. Some of the same people who bullied me went to the same schools as I. I can't help but hurt over what happen. I try to understand and take it all in. As a child I never told about the abuse and bullying I endured at home and at school, I thought it was normal, the hurt I should have expressed then, I'm doing it now. It's like I'm making up for past hurt. I sometimes think it was my fault for letting the bullies get away with what they did, I wish I would have fought back.My question is where can I find support and help as an adult I'm still dealing with past wounds. I suffer from depression, post traumatic stress, anxiety. Anyone know of any help groups, forums, sites? Anyone went through bullying or was a bully? Let me know your story. I believe adults still need encourage, support, help sometimes because victims of bullying and abuse have their times of relapse and still secretly hurting.

Also, what do you think of this woman's description of how she responded to it with actual physical violence? Do you think under the circumstances it was warranted? Not warranted? Would it have been preferable for her to use relational violence in return rather than physical violence? Also any other general opinions on the relational violence told about here, has it ever happened to you etc.

Why do women generally feel more sore and resentful upon discovering that their partners have had at least 1 other sexual experience while on the CONTRARY, men on the whole are pretty receptive to the idea that it is ok for their partners to have previous sexual experience with other men?


Why do men appear to be more accepting than women? Is it the truth that most men REALLY don't mind?

How do men really feel towards their partners' sex history with other men? Don't the idea of thinking about it irk you and thus cause resentment (even though you might say this is the 21st century)? Men, please share your thoguhts.

What about the ladies? How do you accept such things?
