Have men been disempowered? Empowerment is the deliberate shifting of power from one group to another. Like Hitler empowered the nazi party in old Germany. And when one group is empowered another group is correspondingly disempowered. Using the German analogy, it was the Jews who were disempowered.

In Brit and the US today, as feministic groups are empowered, do men and normal women become correspondingly disempowered?

Is it wrong if we put some of the blame on the woman who chose the wrong man and didn't use enough protection and got pregnant?

I'm not a single mom, so I know it's easy for me to preach all day long. But I'm also a woman and I have the power of deciding who to get involved with and who to get pregnant by.

Please note, I'm not taking any responsiblity away from the man's portion, but I feel that the woman is also responsible. The only victim here is the child who didn't have the freedom of choice but is suffering the consequences.

I also know all cases are not as black and white---I'm mainly speaking of relationships in which the father was absent from the beginning.

I had a dream that I was in a room in a hous with all this fog in it and I could hear a baby crying. So I walked out of the room and down the hall to another room and inside there was a baby in a white crib and a little troll thing was eating its face. As soon as I walked in, the thing heard me, stopped, sttod up on the babies chest as I was looking at it from behind. It started to smell and snifff the air..creepy little thing and then after a long time turned around and gave me the ugliest look ever. It jumped at me and was pretty stong for something so little, it made ugly noises as it attacked me and I grabbed it off me and threw it against the wall, then it came back at me madder and bit my ankle, then I kicked it off and it hit the wall again, then ran in a hole in the wall, snarling at me. We I woke up I still felt the pain in my ankle and when I woke up there were two weird little human bitemarks. There were no pets in the house, no monkeys and I was sleeping by myself...creepy

Funeral help?
it seems my husband's grandmother is not doing well in the hospital. my MIL is flying up to be with her husband as he has been with his mother during this time....he told her to take clothes for a funeral. so we are preparing for the worst.
it seems a bit petty of me but i was wondering, since i have never met my husband's grandmother, how could we celebrate her life. is sending flowers and a card of sympathy enough to show how much we care about everyone's loss.
we are flying to the dakota's from south tx. over the thanksgiving holidays and i have never met my husband of three years family. just my father in law's brothers and sisters. i know his immediate family and my mother in law's family.
anyway....i want to be respectful and kind and thoughtful and make a good impression.
i'd send a bouquet of blue irises, that is my favorite flower, and a card from our family. is there anything else i can do? we can't just go and join them for a funeral.

OK, so one night when I was sleeping soundly in my bed dreaming away I kinda woke up (like the waking up when u don't see but the kind of waking up when u are aware of your surroundings) and I just like yelled out "Let's go...to Acapulco" in this like singing voice, ewww. I never really heard of Acapulco before, not until I saw it on a magnet and I was like lol. I swore it was a dolphin, not a country.

But does this mean anything?

THANKS!

Ever had a dream of a deceased loved one who came to you to tell you about the 'afterlife' or give you a message? What was the message? Were all five senses a part of your dream? Do you think it was really them in the dream, or do you think it was just your subconcious doing some wishful thinking? How do you explain these types of dreams?

Can someone please explain to me why, in a divorce, women typically receive custody over the children while the husband pays child-support? Hypothetically, there should be an equal amount of divorced men who get custody over the children as divorced women, but that isn't the case. What's up with the gender bias in divorce, favoring women in regards to child custody? Why are things this way?

What if The woman in question used her body and physical assets in combination with hard work and dedication, would your opinion of her change or stay the same?

My original question was......

"If I as a waoman were to say that I have no qualms using my body and the physical assets i have in order......
to get ahead in the workplace what would your opinion of me be. Would your opinion be different if i were in a high paying job vs.. a low paying job? If so, why?"

I was immediately confronted by a listener as being "racist"??? and should not have said this word. What is the world coming to??? I only referred to this subject in the Latin Word, meaning no offence to anyone. Surely this is going too far?
