Social Science - 17 December 2007

August National Golf Club is a higly prestigious private club with a very limited number of members...All of whom are men. In 2003, a feminist organization, with national support from feminists, launched a campaign to pressure the club into allowing female club members and the club refused, despite the enormous amount of financial pressure. Since the majority of feminists in YA seem to think that it is acceptable to provide preference for entrance to clubs to certain individuals based on their sex, what is your opinion of the Augusta incident? Are you consistent in your beliefs and do you believe that their sex-based qualifications are acceptable? Or do you believe that national feminist organizations erred in their efforts?

some make sense and I understand how it happened, like men mow the lawn, women cook, men build things, women clean, ect but how did taking out the trash become a man chore?

Last night I had two dreams about my husband. In the first dream, he went on a business trip and his best friend and his wife showed up at my door and told me he died in a car accident. I woke up from that dream and I was so thankful it wasn't true because it was so real.

In the second dream my husband didn't die but he decided he was gay and hooked up with an ex of mine. He was so mean about it too. I was out in the cold pretty much immediately. And I lost my kids too. In all the confusion I forgot about them, and then I couldn't find them. This may have caused more stress than finding out my husband was gay!

When I woke up this morning, I told him, he better not get into any accidents, and if he decides he's gay, tough luck, he's married to me so he has to live with it. :)

Is there any interpretation of what this means?

Think back on all of the major decision you've made, what was the best, overall, that you have made and why?

Details, details please! Thanks!

BTW: One of mine was divorcing my ex who was controlling, manipulative and selfish (basically abusive emotionally).

My local NPR station is playing Christmas music (classical of course), with many religious songs mixed in. They did this for Channukah as well. Being that NPR is public, do feminists think it is right for them to do this?

I see some of the men complaining about ladies night, so would it be fair to also have a Men's night at clubs or bars. Would this make everyone happy?

Would you...
(a) Spread it thickly on just one piece and just have butter on the other?
(b) Spread it thinly to cover both pieces?
(c) Leave the jam and go for something else until you get some more jam from the shop?
(d) Do something not mentioned here (please mention what)?

Assume the following: the jam is your favourite sort or if you don't like jam then some other spreadable topping will do instead for this question. Another note to bear in mind is that when I say a piece of toast, I mean a round/square/slice of toast of medium thickness.

religons and science have only given us theory's and not one shread of evidence. why do we latch on to one theory or another and defend it with endless debate? and if we ever do find out the truth wouldn't you think we would probally stumble on to it rather than debating our way into it. do you stand fast on your belief of where humans come from?

I've noticed that women will put down other women when they are not in the same vicinity, but if a man criticizes a woman (e.g. calls her "fat" or "ugly"), women will swing to her aid and call her beautiful. Does this explain the rumored "pretty feminists"? Are they, in fact, just coming to the aid of the ugly?

If we ask for your number, sometimes that's "trying too hard"

If we don't, we have to put up with you light heartedly asking us to grow a pair

If we tell you what's on our minds we need to grow up and get a pair.

If we don't we're holding out on you.

If we're a gentlemen to you we need to grow up and get a pair. And we're also too nice.

If we aren't a gentlemen to you we are either dateable (if hot enough of course) or psychotic (if we're not hot enough to date)

If we're rude we're always assholes. No suchj thing as a bad day or dealing with lots of problems.

If you're rude you're entitled to it always because that's "how you work".

Also, lots of you call men dude. That's patronizing. Stop it.
We don't call you Chicks.

From what I've heard, most people fall in love with the partners who took their virginities. What is it that makes "the first time" so intriguing that it'll make people fall in love with their first-time sexual partners?
