Fathers spend less time with their kids, but abuse them more often. Why might this be?

Figure 4 Perpetrators of physical abuse of children
The graph shows the nature of the relationship between the family member who perpetrates physical abuse and the child victim. The data show the percentage of perpetrators and are for substantiated cases of physical abuse in Canada in 1998. Only cases where the perpetrator was a relative are included. (These represent the great majority of all cases.)

Gender issues
‘The high preponderance of male patients in studies of narcissism has prompted researchers to explore the effects of gender roles on this particular personality disorder. Some have speculated that the gender imbalance in NPD results from society's disapproval of self-centered and exploitative behavior in women, who are typically socialized to nurture, please, and generally focus their attention on others.'

Maybe you too have noticed this...

In Religion and spirituality whenever someone asks "prove god exists" or "prove god doesn't exist" and so forth, lots answer with "cheers!" or "bottoms up", which i assume is like a drinking game thing.

In philosophy, when someone asks "what's the meaning of life?" They get this number game thing going

And in P&S they get all kinds of games going on near every question.

The point is it seems to lighten the moods of the regulars and instead of getting irritated by redundent questions, or even troll questions, these catagory regs seem to have figured out a way to have fun with it.

So do you think something like this would help ease tension around here?

if so, let's see your imaginations on what we can come up with....

"I would not trust him [the colored man] with all my rights; degraded and oppressed himself, he would be more despotic with the governing power than even our Saxon rulers are." - Elizabeth Cady (Is she a hypocrite too or is she also saying women weren't oppressed and degraded themselves?)

So, why do (some) feminists call anti-feminists and masculists racists, when (some of) the suffragettes had their roots set in the WKKK?

You wake fully changed emotionally, mentally & physically

Rules: don't say you be gay or a lesbian (you don't know that because you in a new state of mind) please
No saying you have sex or play with yourself
you can't change back
you don't choose this
You do have your interest changed a little (NEW life duh)

i probably would break down for a few hours and then try live life as my new gender
Shopping new clothes and videogames after i done getting all
necessary thing for my new life

So I found them cuddling in the couch this afternoon. I envy those closeness and comfort. I recently argue with my bf, that's why we haven't talked or come in touch for days....

Is this just a female instinct, or is there something wrong with me here...? I do love my brother though....

So why can't men who do the same claim testosterone overload?
Why is it if a women’s hormones lead her to kill it is understandable but not for a man. Most violent men who commit crimes have high levels of testosterone and should therefore be held to the same standard as murdering mothers, right?

Tell me something about them. These were mine (re-runs folks, I'm not THAT old):

The 'intellectually challenged' Baby Huey first appeared …in 1950.
Many animated shorts featuring Huey had recurring themes. Most common among them was him trying to be just like any other kid his age. He would see his peers playing, and would immediately get excited. Whenever he tried to involve himself in the activities of his peers, themselves anthropomorphic ducklings, he often wrecked their efforts. As a result, they would drive him away through trickery (and into tears). A hungry fox would show up feigning friendship and setting traps along the way. At first Huey was blissfully unaware of the fox's true agenda. But as his peers watched the annoyed fox in action from a safe distance (and fearing for his safety just as they did their own), he came to realize the truth about his predator and dispose of him, usually by saying: "I think you're trying to kill me!", and would finish the fox.

whether from working in the sex industry, or simply engaging in casual, anonymous sex? When women do these things, people warn her that it's "degrading" because the other people don't really care about her as a person, but just see her as a "sex object" or are "using her." So how come we don't warn men about how they're "degrading" themselves, and mankind as a whole? Does this suggest that we give men a lot more freedom when it comes to their sexuality than we afford women? Do we consider men more capable of handling their sexuality and perhaps being what some people would consider more reckless with it?

Ok so I know I'm throwing a pity party, whatever.

It seems constant:

"I believe in equality, but I'm not a feminist"
"Feminists hate men"
"Feminazi"
"I don't wear flannels and I like to shave so I'm not a feminist"
"All feminists are lesbians"
"I'm conservative, so I can't be a feminist"
"All feminists are women"


Ugh. it's exhausting. Anybody feel like this too? What can we do?

As a male, my opinion is that pornography's effects are far reaching. A man's sexuality can be greatly altered by the images portrayed by porn, and can affect the way he views all women....in my opinion! Agree or disagree?

I'm 19 and I have never had a girlfriend. I'm not a shut in, infact i'm pretty active I love to go to concerts as often as posible, and spend a lot of time walking/driveing around the city, so in can't be that i'm just not around to meet girls. I'm realitively smart(not to brag but my I.Q.is about 140) so its not that i'm stupid. I not too picky so its not my standards being too high. I'm funny and I love to spontainiously do crazy things so it's not that i'm boreing. I'm not rich but i'm definatly not poor so that shouldn't be a big deal. I'm your avrage joe when it comes to looks but i'm not going after the beauty queen so I don't think thats the problem(unless women are alot more shallow then I think). (and even if they are that shallow) I'm "gifted" in the nether region so thats definatly not the problem. I'm a very humble person and i'm an all around nice guy too, so I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. Can someone PLEASE tell me what i'm doing wrong.
