My son is now under investigation for molesting his 6 year old stepdaughter. I don't want to believe it's true, but there is so much evidence against him and the things the little girl said in her testimony to the police aren't things a normal child can make up. Its tearing me up inside that I can't believe him when he tells me he didnt do it but there is just so much against him leading me to think he did. The little girl has accused everything from him beating her to molesting her to raping her to making her do things with his dog (she knew things about dogs that **I** didn't know if thats an indication of what she said in her testimony). Part of me wants to kill him and the other part of me wants to hug him and ask what happened and defend him against the things he says are lies. How do I stand back from this and let whatever is going to happen happen without it completely killing me inside?

All people are many things. I am a daughter, wife and mother. I am a woman, a Democrat, an optician. I am white, I am originally a New Yorker, but now a Montanan. I have Unitarian beliefs, but am not a Christian or a churchgoer. I am a dog person, I am straight.

I know people who primarily identify themselves by sex; I do-my first identity to me is 'woman'. Many women think of themselves as "mother", and I know a few men whose jobs give them their identity. How do you identify yourself? When you think of all of the things you are, what comes to mind first?

my coworker has begun acting out and talking about me behind my back because i know longer speak to him on a personal level. we barely speak when we first see each other in the morning. all day long i deal with him pounding on the keyboard and moaning and groaning because of this. people have come asking me why we don't speak and it's becuase he's being immature.

but i feel like it's becoming taxing on my emotions because he's turned to other people who now begun to givie me attitude. i'm choosing to ignore it, but it gets so depressing sometimes. i don't understand why he can't leave me alone and do his work. what could i do?

Men or women? I realize I'm asking you to generalize here. Also, are you male or female? Also, keep in mind no one is going to think you're "gay" if you're a man who prefers other men's company. Just be honest.


As for me...I'm female, and I honestly prefer to be around other women. We talk about so many amazing things.

It seems that feminists believe that coercive social change is perfectly justified and apparently some believe that violence to ensure it is also necessary (note my other question linked below). To those who believe in coercive social change, could you weigh in on of the Roman Catholic Church's coercive conversions in the 16th and 17th centuries? Do you believe they were justified in coercing the natives into conversion? Why or why not?

1) Currency Value within a Country
2) Job Opportunities within a Country
3) Income-living cost ratio

In a utopian world, the best thing to do would be to travel to a country with a strong currency, few expenses, and good job opportunities so that when retirement comes around you can travel somewhere with a weak currency and cheap living standards, being able to live in luxury.

For example, working in a country with US Dollars and then moving to Europe would be counter productive because you would suddenly have less money. If you were to earn a lot of the following:
1. Kuwaiti dinar
2. The Maltese lira
3. The Bahraini dinar
and then move to Europe, you could live very well.The problem is: how are the expenses in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Malta? Is the living cost high? How are job opportunities?

In essence, the plan would be to move somewhere where you can work very little and go into retirement soon. Any advice?

I read many questions on here every day about fathers who killed their children. Do you think it's possible that these men murder because maybe they did not really want children to begin with, and were pressured by society to have them? Maybe they were not supported by their family or wife ?
Why do fathers kill? Pressure to be fathers when they have no desire? no support?

My thing is... SAY what you MEAN and MEAN what you SAY. When are women going to stop with all the indirect communication? Being a woman is not an excuse to communicate indirectly.

Women are supposed to be the BETTER communicators, but sometimes I think the opposite is true.

There is no logical excuse for saying one thing and meaning another. There is no excuse for saying I don't want something and still expecting to get it.

But the bigger question is.. why do some women do it?

How do political leanings influence attitudes toward feminism, for instance? I've always operated under an assumption that people tolerant of feminism lean left, and the people who identify as anti-feminists lean right, but maybe I'm way off base. And if that's true, do you think it's underlying politics that actually amplifies the differences between feminists and people who object to feminism?
