I had a dream last night that I was in a very fancy place where everything was embroidered with the initials NV. Mostly it was white towels and sheets, but the initials were engraved on the doors and spelt out on the floor and everywhere. I don't think I know anyone with the initials NV. What could this mean?

According to Amnesty International violence against women and girls is today's "most pervasive human rights challenge".

General Kofi Annan said: "violence against women is global in reach, and takes place in all societies and cultures."

Statistics show that in some South American countries 23 percent or 1 in 4 women suffer from domestic violence.

The Council of Europe estimates that 1 in 4 European women suffers domestic violence in her lifetime.
In England and Wales an average of two women a week die at the hands of a current or former partner.

In India fear is a constant companion and rape may be faced around any corner day or night.

Where has feminism helped?
Is it time to see this stratagy falls short?

I don't mean to offend anyone to begin with.

But it seems to be that religion has always led to disputes between those who worship different fates.

Often this leads to a crusade.

And if people are convinced that their god is utterly just, then would their god approve of the intolerance often shown by the less moderate elements of society?

(or gods I should say, depending on the faith)

In some dreams, everything seems to be bright, visible, and not confusing. As in, most dreams I have, I seem to be in two places at once. The person I am looking at, and the person looking at me. It's hard to explain. Then, in others, everything is normal. I'm seeing from my side only, and not confused about what happened in the morning. So, when the dreams make sense, they are clear. Then, in the ones that don't make sense, everything is all dark, mixed together, and just plain baffling. Can you explain to me what this means, or why it happens?

Fell in love with this one guy in 7th grade. Broke up with me bc he thought he didnt like me anymore. Dated other guys that lasted only 1 month. They all left me. Then dated two guys that lasted for four months and then I didnt want them anymore but couldn't let go, now this is the third guy, same situation. Somethings wrong with me. It is more than not wanting to let go because right now with the third guy, I was calling him and he wouldnt pick up and I broke down because I felt scared he just left me hanging [traumatized from the past]. And I get kindaa angry if I call him and he's with his friends and I was expecting him to come over. You see? Its just strange. I dont get whats up with me, really I dont. :(
Whats this pattern?

I have noticed this phrase is only applied to men on here, so I guess the question is, at what age is a man expected to have moved out of his parents' house?

I dreamt I did a sexual act to him. However, I find the guy annoying and disgusting in real life. I've been attracted to him in the past, but his horrible personality just turns me off. What's up with this?

I wish that things were more human. I find it hard to cope with the depersonalization of some things. It’s like there are no exceptions for the individual. If it’s not in this book here then it doesn’t exist or it doesn’t fit in with our jurisdiction or policy that’s it set in stone.

I had an odd recurring dream that finally ended and had a new section to it...I've been dreaming of something getting stuck @the roof of my mouth similar to gum/rope. In my dreams I'd try to pull it out and I'd do this to no end in sight. It would just keep getting longer and longer and still feel as if something was stuck to the roof of my mouth. Now 2 days ago it was the same dream again except that I got to the end of what was stuck in my mouth and found that it was a white snake head w/ its 2 fangs stuck to my roof top. The snakes mouth and eyes were open when I pulled it out.
2nd part of the dream consisted of me sitting in a strange round shaped bed that could zip up (somewhat similar to a coconut purse) and there was a lose snake at the bottom of it alive in there. then I awoke.

any thoughts? thanks in advance.

As we all know, there are many people who post their pictures on Yahoo!Answers so others can rate them. Well I've noticed that many times if someone is not as lucky physically everyone is really nice to them but if someone is lucky and looks beautiful/hot/pretty/lovely/cute(fill in adjective of choice here) then others seem to lash out at them. Why do we act nice to uglier people and mean to prettier? I realize people may be trying to life the spirits of the ones that aren't as good looking and people may be jealous of others that look better. Although this may be true, in school people who are not as good-looking are treated way worse and those who are better looking are befriended. Shouldn't Yahoo!Answers be the same way? It defies all rules about superficiality. Hmmm... Basically, I want to know why this is? Why are we being mean to pretty people and exceptionally nice to the not-so-pretty?
Sidenote: I hope I don't offend anyone. Not meaning to. Please forgive me. :)

Just wondering how many feminists here are able to whip up yummy and nutritious dinners and who also do the house-cleaning?
Is it still an important skill to have in your opinion? Do you find that there is a negative assumption nowadays from men saying that women, let alone feminists, just don't have these skills anymore?
I do most, if not all of the cooking and cleaning myself. Home-cooked meals just about every night, was taught to cook from a very young age. And I know how to keep a clean house and don't hire a housekeeper.
What about you?

I've noticed many younger (and even middle aged) women who can't really be independent. Like my cousin who has to be driven back and forth to work everyday and shopping because she doesn't have it together enough to buy a reliable car. She has turned down may other people's offer for help (i.e. become a roomate, or get a boyfriend) 'cuz she says she wants to be "independent". Meanwhile she causes massive inconvenience to her family. What is going on here? Any suggestions? She might as well be living in her parents basement since she's living off them anyways......
