Social Science - 14 November 2007

There is no real feminist or gendered discussion here just a load of women haters (male and female) and a load of women who say "I'm not a feminist but....." If you have no interest in gender or you hate women and wanna write hateful things about them keep it to your personal diary and get some good therapy, it would be nice to have a real discussion about gender inequality on here without being trashed by trolls! I'm sure many people on here agree with me too.

Not to blow my own horn, and maybe I attract them because I'm short, but I have noticed a lot of men prefer short women. I found an article to support this claim also. When I asked one of my exes, he denied the boost of manhood factor, and explained that shorter women are more feisty and have more fire LOL....not sure if I buy into that...

what exactly makes you deem someone to be intelligent? are your standards different for men than women? if so, how? can you tell if someone is intelligent by only talking to them once? define intelligence in your own words.do they have to have similar intelligence levels as you and know just about as much as you or possess more intelligence than you or what specifically? explain and give examples. how intelligent are you? prove it.thanks.

Do you agree or disagree? Someone once said that if someone is always late to either school, work, meetings, appts., etc, that is is a weakness in character-give me your thoughts on this. I once used to be a person that was always shaking hands with the clock and currently I tend to be early at least by 15 minutes wherever I go, but have you ever heard of that saying and how do you think it would apply??

See article:

http://guerillawomentn.blogspot.com/2007/09/bill-maher-is-misogynistic-anti.html

Do you agree with the article? Agree with Bill Maher? Does Bill Maher deserve all the criticism he has recieved regarding his attitudes toward women in general? Give me examples if you think so.

If a man complains, feminists are quick to point it out to him, but if a feminist complains, ''it's a valid question that deserves a worthy answer.''

Why is this?

I keep having flashbacks and almost all of them are all the things that I really want to forget! If i think about this one subject and go deep into thought about it all of a sudden a flashback I want to forget pops out of nowhere! My mom suggested going to a psychologist or w/e but I really don't want to tell anyone what the flashbacks were because some of them are really private and embarrassing. I really don't know what to do and this hasn't been happening recently. It has been happening for a few years! It tortures me so much sometimes and if I'm having a fun time and there's a flashback my party mood dies. It really sucks! If you could give me suggestions to get rid of this problem or reduce it please tell me! Please and thank you! ^^

I'm not talking about women who have been dumped by their children's father and haven't bothered to find a new man. I'm talking about women who don't know or care where the sperm came from.

The new book Knock Yourself Up (Louise Sloan) includes stories of 43 women who make great annual salaries and are perfectly equipped to take care of themselves and their children. They planned their pregnancies, and their kids have turned out well. Some believe that it's easier to raise kids without a husband, because:

a) No risk of divorce.
b) No power struggles.

According to the author, the downside was feeling lonely during her pregnancy, which was quickly resolved by well-meaning strangers congratulating her. Most of the 43 women's families and friends reacted positively when finding out about their decisions.

Thoughts? Comments?

to then warn women to carefully plan their lives with the expectation of divorce? No-fault divorce was supported in large part by feminists (and also divorce lawyers, LOL).

They fully admitted that the point of no-fault divorce was to make sure women understood that "marriage was no longer a viable career choice." It would "demand the achievement of autonomy". (feminist sociologist Jessie Bernard "The Future of Marriage")

So now that we have accomplished the goal of scaring women into working fulltime in case of divorce, how can feminists pretend to feel pity for these women? How can they go from trying to force women to abandon being a housewife, under threat of poverty, to warning that it is a dangerous choice? It wouldn't BE as dangerous if they hadn't fought for no-fault divorce.

How can feminists attempt to manipulate women into making certain choices but then pretend to support ALL women?

This question was asked by Franzia Kafka and was unjustly removed. It is clearly relevant to Women's Studies.

Franzia also lost her account.

Why is it an insult to tell someone to 'suck your dick'?

Isn't it a healthy thing in most good relationships for some oral sex to be going on? Why is the act of sucking dick seen as generally demeaning and laughable?

And why would the offender in this situation probably run away/get weirded out if the insulted agreed, then and there, to do what the offender requested and actually suck his dick?

I had a dream last night that a tarantula was chasing me. I was running as fast as I could, and it was keeping up with me. It never touched me or anything, but I was terrified. Then later in the dream, I saw another huge spider. What does this mean?

what is the difference between a psychopath and a sociopath? Is there a real clear distinction between the two? Is one just a more advance case of the other or something? Sometimes in media and fiction it almost seems as though the two terms are used interchangeably.

thx for your help
