Feminists, would you like your daughter to be that girl?..

Guys have always been after one thing... But what about girls? How come they dont value their virginity or reputation anymore? Everytime I say women are way too promiscuous these days, feminists here lash out at me saying crap like..."they are just liberated, exploring their sexuality, men first, etc..." I blame feminists for the decline of the morality in this country... Agree or Disagree?

It's been so long since ive had sex and so long since i dated i feel like im 13 again. I used to be sexually active and lost my virginity at a young age. I never remember being uncomfortable around the opposite sex until the past few years. I stopped having sex about 6 years ago and havnt dated all that much 'due to life circumstances'. Now im so uncomfortable it bothers me to even think of speaking to the opposite sex romantically. How do i get over this fear? How do i ever become intimate again?

Let me preface by saying that I do know the power of suggestion, and everything that goes with it, but to be honest, this is a thought that has been growing and growing until it was verbalized by a 'reader'.

Here goes. I am a very cute Latin female who has really risen up from pretty much nothing. I had to drop out of school in the 7th grade because my mom died and my step dad left my sister and me. I've worked hard and have achieved a lot. I now hold a very high position in my field, own my own home and four high-end cars (okay, make that three high-end cars, and a regular one) all paid for. I have one son, two dogs, a cat and fish. Again, not that I want to harp on it, I just want to make it clear, I am considered very pretty. So, I think I should be happy, right? I am not. Everything seems to be cursed. I mean little things - if someone admires one of my cars, within a couple of days I get a flat. Someone told me my home was beautiful and yesterday the ceiling in the dining room sprang a leak and a huge chunk fell off. Trust me, these are only a couple of examples because I know that I will run out of space soon. My relationship with my son sucks, regardless of what I try. He is a good kid, no drugs, no alcohol, good grades, but he is so rude. In any case, my point is the following. I've always felt that people in the community in which I lived envied me (women especially). And although I have three or four GOOD long-time girl friends, they too have told me this. I've been talked about constantly (supposedly I've slept around [untrue] to get where I'm at, and other such silliness. Once, I heard I was actually an exotic dancer) and so on. Anyway, yesterday my cousin took me to a person who reads cards. Although I am not a "believer", I am desperate. Without me having said ANYTHING (i wanted her to 'prove' herself) she told me that daggers of envy are ruining my life. I felt like crying. Anyway, she said she could fix it for a few hundred dollars - and I am almost tempted to try it. What are some thoughts on this? Could something like this (having bad things happen because of others' envy) actually be real?

I'm 22, naturally shy and awkward, a hopeless romantic and extremely sensitive. I fell in love and got dumped (it was my fault) and the pain just doesnt go away - even after one year. I still miss him. It's horrible. I cant focus, i've lost my ambition and drive, i'm doing miserably at college (which is a first) and cannot bring myself to care about the future. I hate being on my own at the best of times - now, I cant study because then its just me and my thoughts.
Is this depression? Im sad all the time. Even when i'm with friends laughing!! Should I do something about it? Or should I just wait and see?
There are so many people out there who are struggling and wishing they'd worked harder when the time was right and here I am knowing i'm going to be one of them and still not doing anything about it...
Theoretically, I want to be successful and have a great job. But right now, my emotions have taken over.

I don't want to go to school. This is my last year in college and yet I can't even get out of bed in the morning, so there is no way I will be able to get my degree with this frame of mind.

I don't want to talk to anybody. I don't want to do anything.

I have no idea how I became like this. Part of me wants to stop feeling like this and get on with my life already but then another part of me doesn't because I guess I forgot what happiness is.

I am 21 and shouldn't have to be going through this and it's nothing new for me. I often go through these "depression" stages even though I have never been diagnosed by a professional. But now it has gone too far.

Is it just me or no matter what happended or what the situation or circumstances are, the court/jury almost always seems to have more sympathy towards the woman.

Let's say a woman lied about being raped by some guy, even though she's lying the court always seems to be more on her side.

Or in a custody battle when a woman claims a child belongs to a man, but the man denies it. It's her word agianst his. Yet the court/jury still has more sympathy towards the woman and portray the man as a selfish person when that may totaly not be the case.

Why is that?

I can relate to Rand's theories and I think they go hand in hand with the basic human right that personal happiness is the key to success, but some feminists might think differently. If so, why?

I always tought that the point of gender equality was to make everything between men and women equal yet it seems that some feminists and women who follow them only wants the good and not the bad but at the same time call men sexist when they are against something that benefits them as a woman.
For one why is there not a strong outcry to change selective service laws to include women.
Also I have seen many cases in which a male hires a hitman to kill his wife for insurance money and get the death penalty whereas a woman only get life. Three there is not much anger or outcry from feminist when a woman gets child custody because of her gender and not her qualifications as there is when a man gets a job or promotion over a woman due to his gender.
