Social Science - 12 December 2007

I've been practicing my social skills by asking women for their names. Most women seem to be pleasantly surprised to my question and they respond warmly with their preferred appellation. Does our patriarchal society minimize the value of women's names to the point that my inquiry is unexpectedly gratifying? Or maybe I have a funny accent? Or am I missing some critical subtlety of ve4rbal communication? I'm terrible at identifying emotions.

How should society treat paedophiles? People with this sickness VERY rarely conform or cure themselves and they will continue to be a threat to children and society.
Is it too harsh to castrate them and make them Eunuchs? This seems like the only possible treatment to me.

...what does it mean when you see things that remind you of her?

For example, my crush's name is Anne & I see Maryanne in the newspaper in the 'to the editor' section.
Anything & everything that constantly reminds you of her.

What do you think?

Why do young women today qualify things by saying "I'm not a feminist" and then agree with, and benefit from all the things that are on the feminist agenda. They are not a feminists because they don't have to be. Others did their fighting for them. If they are working and receiving equal wages, they benefit from feminsm. Why don't they realize this?
