more complete and beautiful where there the MAN of a family goes out to work and the Wife looks after "the home"?

I'm not saying the families where women work too, aren't beautiful and complete but there where man works looks MORE elegant. Isn't it?

I had to post this again..I guess anybody can answer this, because no psychologists or counselors must be on right now.
My psychologist said that my molester is a pedophile and that it doesn't matter if I hit puberty at the time of the incident. Would the psychologists on yahoo diagnose my molester as a pedophile (it happened from 12-14, 6th to 8th grade). Do you have to go by the DSM-IV definition where it only says that a pedophile must be sexually attracted to PRE-pubescent kids? It says the age range is 13 years and younger, but we know that 9, 10, and 11 year olds hit puberty now these days.


I don't think it should matter if someone hit puberty, because kids are kids. Am I wrong? These 12 year olds who have their periods, have pubic hair, and wear training bras still look like kids and think like kids for god sake. But this guy told me I was stupid for thinking that and how pedophiles aren't attracted to 12 year old girls with pubic hair and budding breasts.Anybody agree?

I have a co-worker who I've worked with for the past 9 years. He works at my finace's business (hes also a part owner) and I imagine I will be dealing with him for many more years to come. He has always been strange and hard to deal with. Just recently somebody mentioned to us that the behavior we described in him may be aspergers. Ive researched the disease and I am convinced he has it. The thing is, I dont think hes ever been diagnosed. He is very arrogant and I know any mention of him having a disorder and he would go through the roof, claiming he is fine.
He drives us all crazy at work because of his rudeness, arrogance and lack of judgement. We get into fights constantly. I just dont know how to deal with him and it makes it even harder that I know he has aspegers and he doesnt.

Wondering if anyone who has aspergers or anyone who has experience dealing with ppl with aspergers can give me some advice on how to handle this situation.

what do you think about a person who you see walking down the street who can't make eye contact, walks with a bad posture, and looks nervous? would you find the person looking unattractive, ugly?i'm talking about me. i have social anxiety and go through this most of the time because i'm uncomfortable in my own skin around my others and people always say negative stuff about me that makes me feel down. I feel like if i can be myself than people might actually find me pretty because some people that i am comfortable around tell that i am pretty.

A friend of mine asked me to listen to her voicemail to see if it said what she thought she heard. It did. It said, "Diana! I'm on fire!" (that's me, Diana) I said who was that?? All my friends said it was Bobby, you're boyfriend for years in school. I didn't have a clue who he was. They told me he was black, I still didn't remember him. Then the next day I found out he was dead. I felt terrible. I went to one of my friends house and he pointed out a picture of Bobby. I still didn't recognize him at all. Any ideas on what this dream is trying to tell me? Also, I DO NOT know anyone named Bobby.

""Imprisoned in every fat man," claimed Cyril Connolly, "a thin one is wildly signaling to be let out." Connolly, himself a literary mandarin of considerable girth, made this observation half a century ago in The Unquiet Grave (1945), but his dictum easily summarizes Hollywood's current philosophy on weight. A fat man is a failed thin one. Hollywood has taken the Duchess of Windsor's remark that "No woman can be too rich or too thin," and made it a royal decree that applies to both sexes. Our stars have never been richer or thinner.

May one lone fan raise an objection? I don't mind the eye-popping salaries. Only a cheapskate would resent eight-figure per-film fees to artists of such magnitude as Jim Carey or Julia Roberts. Where would Hollywood stars be without their mansions, ranches, and villas? What I miss are the full-figured actors of yesteryear"...

I am contemplating a website - one with an 'antifeminist' zone, a 'feminist' zone, a men zone, and a women zone... but primarily - a 'humanist/equalist' zone. It would consist of an antifeminist Co-Admin and a feminist Co-Admin (for balance)...

Would you look into joining such a site, knowing that you would be FREE to express your views of moving away from hateful & angry labels and forward into a TRUE equality seeking movement..?

When I read forums and messages I interpret them to be negative. When you read things, you usually can't tell the tone of the message. But for some reason, I always read it to be the negative. When I read video comments on YouTube or even answers to questions here on Y!Answers, unless they are worded precisely to sound positive, I take them to be negative.

This also goes for correction and criticism. For example, when I write a paper for a class, the professor grades it and hands it back. And when I read his/her comments, I always immediately take it to be an attack of some sort. They may disagree with my reasoning on some subject, and I feel anger towards them for critiquing my work. The thing is, though, I am rarely angry about things and I always try to keep an open mind. But my natural reaction to a criticism is always the negative.

I was just wondering if others are similar or maybe have some comments on the subject. I appreciate it!
