without getting into trouble yourself?

for example, if your in a situation where you need to be assertive with an aggressive type hooligan person, because theyve bothered you......like say, an aggressive stare or something else.......how should you handle it without jeapordizing your own future or life?

sure if you had no principles or simply didnt give a shht you could follow them down to their own level and take em out.

but obviously, if your of good character, are upstanding, have integrity and are just are trying to better yourself and your life....you dont want no trouble...and are just trying to reach your goals in life and make up for your mistakes, then your unfortunate enough to encounter an aggressive hooligan type person.....without getting yourself into trouble, how should you deal with them?

people always say to be assertive, but what they dont say is what you should do if you encounter aggressive hooligan yobbo who dont care about their lives or themselves

For me, what a man should take from feminism is that the duty is not just to protect women from the mugger or rapist hiding in the bushes, but from the abusive spouse or partner, and from those who would seek to deprive them of educational and professional opportunities and control over their own bodies.

Listening to what women have to say means being better informed out the sorts of protections they want and need, rather than assuming on your own what's best for them.

I am sure that some will call this protectiveness "sexist" while others will try to say that, with social changes pursued by feminism, women have forfeited the right to such protection.

But as far as I am concerned, it doesn't matter society says, it doesn't matter if it's appreciated or praised, any decent man should feel protective of women and should act accordingly.

If something is natural to me, but not to you... does that make me unnatural, or supernatural?
I guess my question is....
What really makes reality? Is it the things you experience, or is it your beliefs in the way you perceive them?

I work with this guy and have been for a while and we're really good buddies. Yes, I have a crush on it but I love my job and don't act on crushes. I don't get crushes on people easily (17 years old and only 3 crushes EVER.)

Last week I had a dream where we kissed. Nothing major but I did slightly push him away even in the dream. And it has to be one of the most realistic dreams ever, to the point that when I awoke I could smell and feel him. And for some reason, it felt like everything had changed dramatically. He ended up calling a few hours later from work to tell me about my schedule and sounded a bit funny.

When I went to work the next day, he sort of kept his distance from me (which is weird since he likes to talk to me a lot) and when he did talk, he would suddenly move away from me and wouldn't stay still.

And apparently he kept doing the "lingering" stare, my friend told me after much "analysis"

Do you think he shared the same dream or something else? It's confusing...

I am am orthodox. In my dream I was in a church. Suddenly everything turned red (even the sky) and blood started to run from the walls of the church. I ran outside. When I screamed for help (donno why) it was like no one noticed me. I ran to a man that was closer to me, he wore a dark robe. I said to him "help, help". He began to laugh and said: "You have no idea what you are in to!", and turned to dust. I ran to other people ,that were passing by, asking for help, and I noticed they had no eyes, and blood started to flow from theys eye sockets and turning to dust but only theis bones remaining. The people ran after me. I ran to my apartment hoping i would be safe there. The skeletons came from there also. I ran outside and the "zombies" were coming from all sides, I had no escape, and then I woked up.

Ever since my divorce in 94 I have had extreme problems doing any of the things I know would make me both happier and more secure. Every time I work up the motivation to try I will hit the smallest snag and just grind to a halt and focas on business of just surviving instead of achieving more. I was not this way before and if it is anything involving my daughters or family I can be counted on 100 % to follow thru. But when It comes to myself I seem to just not have it in me. Any ideas?

A lot of it really is singing to calm kids down and help them associate "happy" with water, but i really would like to avoid singing as much as possible because i am male and my voice sucks, does anyone know of other ways to excite kids and help them pay attention and get involved?

I don't like this guy, but, I'm really really shy around him, I just can't talk to him. I feel like some how he might think I like him because I was initially so outgoing and bubbly, But....It feels like I'm in prison not talking to him since he is my boss, in fact, I need to be proactive. I really don't like him...how can I talk to him but not make him think I like him...but be able to be myself?

Just curious. I allow all opinions to be aired on my own site, most other MRA sites & blogs also allow feminist opinions to be aired... so why do feminists block people they assume they will disagree with, why do feminists sites ban & delete members who aren't unpleasant - just different in opinions/values, etc.
What is wrong with feminists - aren't they 'strong, independant women' who 'can have it all'? Or are they (those who do the blocking) just blatant cowards?

I absolutely love older women.! Older meaning 10-20 years my senior (I am 28) I believe they are so sexy, self assured and honest. They are experienced and you know where you stand. If they want something you will surely be told exactly what it is they want. No hidden agendas. What are your thoughts on this, ladies? Is this normal of more of a latent Oedipus complex?

My huband and I got into a debate about this subject. So, I thought I'd go to everyone and see what they experienced. Were you ever molested or has anyone ever attempted to molest you? Was is someone you know? Was it a male or female that did this? How old were you?
