A troll posted, "Feminism is merely group nagging."

Now, of course, this plays into stereotypes about women. However, as women who acknowledge that they do sometimes nag will sometimes point out, women nag because men don't listen and take action the first time they ask.

To what extent have the methods of feminism been like nagging? Have women's rights been gained, in large part, by wearing men down?

And if we accept that metaphor, does it also suggest more constructive approaches? What might those be?

And in relationships, does nagging work for some things and not for others? And could this connect with ways that feminism has made great strides and areas in which it hasn't?

and not by life conditions or our surroundings and experiences, please explain feral children? In case you don't know what a feral child is, it is a child who has been raised by animals and has usually had little or no human contact and displays the characteristics of the animals that raised it, such as barking like a dog and running around on all fours. Do you really think they became that way due to a chemical imbalance in the brain? Why is it that 99% of major psychological illnesses have a story behind them. Like the people who were abused as children abuse their children, or the bullied kid that shoots up his entire school. What ever happened to the concept of hate breeds hate and all that good stuff? I truely believe we become a product of our surroundings and life experiences and that psychological drugs were created to make doctors and pharmacutical companies wealthy. Your thoughts?

My textbook says it is "the proposition that real GDP per person grows because technological change induces a level of saving and investment that makes capital per hour of labor grow."

I don't understand the "savings and investment" component of it. Who's savings are we talking about? How can savings impact technological growth (am I even on the right track)?

Other than jargon, this textbook has proved to be little help. Please help me rationalize this concept. I'm so confused and have an upcoming midterm. Thanks!!

I sometimes have this dream:

I was walking down a street and then I tripped and fell.

But the instant before I fell, i end up waking up, sweaty and cold.

Does this mean anything?

I dreamed that i had a small bump on my front tooth, so i tried to snap it off, but i ended up pulling my whole tooth out.
Then i was freaking out that my tooth was gone, but no one else seemed to care.
My mum said "Oh well hunny, it's just a tooth"

Then, i went to the dentist and asked for false teeth but i couldn't afford it...

It seemed so real...
It really feaked me out!

Please understand I am not religious and I don't have a problem with most people who are. If they don't use it as an excuse or lisense to be a bigot or a bully.

The only time I remember myself crying is when I was 5 and got bitten by a neighboor dog. I RARELY (if ever) show any kind of emotion. I honnestly always feel that, showing any kind of emotion is a sign of weakness, ESPECIALLY when you're a Man. Men need to be strong; physically, mentally and emotionally. Men SHOULDN'T be emotional.

This is just my opinion. So have you ever cry? Should Men show their emotion?

I don't get it. I'm so slow on responses and conversations and I can never make a good comeback. This made me the target of many teasing in the past. However, I'm smart, I take bunch of AP classes and get all A's, and people know that I'm smart too. How can this be? I'm supposed to be witty if I'm smart!

Or do you recognize the possibility that someone who might actually be quite a "freak" could still consider that sort of thing to only be appropriate in certain contexts?

I don't just mean the hypocritical televangelists and politicians who make the news from time to time. I'm not even talking about attacking people's sexual preferences or desires. I just mean having a sense of boundaries and of moral consistency concerning what is appropriate when?

I can go to the cinema and watch Batman without believing a caped crusader is prowling around waiting to defend me from evil doers.

I can watch porn without believing that it is setting a model for human relationships.

In both instances the actors and actresses are being well paid for their services to entertain me, in the full knowledge that I will objectify them and enjoy it.

So - is that fact that porn objectifies really the problem, or is it just used as an EXCUSE by people who don't want anyone to watch porn?

Do you think maybe girls are so interested in their looks because they grew up playing with barbies?

Do you think boys are interested in cars because they grew up playing with hotwheels?

I know I have an interest in architecture, and i grew up playing with Legos.

Do you think it's coincidence, or are they related? What toys did you play with as a child, and what are your interests now?

Is it worth falling in love while
working towards a career?...im 19, and worried about getting a stable career and good education..sometimes, i wonder how it is like to have a 'partner,' but i realized i tend to be 'obsessive' with crushes...so, i thought i cant be in a relationship while at school and starting a career...would it be ok to still have never been in a relationship at 30s? i figured theres so much to do, but i dont want to seem silly to have never been kissed by that age.....

Are you a person who wants to be good, but isn't?
Are you a person who doesn't like this fast world and prefers simple things as long as they have substance?
Do you prefer the past or present?

I want to know your opinions. I don't like a fast-paced world but i do like technology. but i truly do miss a few things from the past. The character and morals that people used to have can't be seen now. All you can hear is swear words. No respect. For students, everything that matters is education. This is soooo sad =( I'd much rather live a simple life like in Little Women....

P.S You might think i'm a little mad but it's okay =) cauzeee i'm very bored - getting my brains to think more deeper into life now...
