Moral values used to come from church and were reinforced by men and women... Nowadays activists say:

1. Church is obsolete and the christian/muslim idea of women being wives and mothers is no longer acceptable...
2. Men are not allowed to use any degrading terms for promiscuous women...
3. Women are not allowed to police their own ranks either...

So how are our daughters supposed to make the right choices?

Abuse comes in many forms -- emotional, mental, psychological and, of course, physical. Often, women who find themselves in abusive relationships find it difficult to leave, for various reasons. What can women who find themselves in this type of situation do to find the strength and courage to move on?

"Our government has permanent residency inside a woman's vagina. The government deserves a place inside a woman's uterus according to those advocates that are anti-choice and anti-feminist. If a woman chooses not to sustain alterations to her uterus by a pregnancy, she must comply with state regulations first and then her own free will secondly.

So in the eyes of our legal systems I am a vagina first, a white citizen second and then lastly I am an eligible voter and consumer...."

What are your thoughts?

This was inspired by a question I answered, asking women how we react when a guy honks at us. On getting Best, and reading the other answers, it hit me: the real question is why guys do this.

What do you expect to happen when you honk at a woman?

What's your purpose?

If you aren't a guy who does this, have you ever asked guys who do this why they do it? If so, what did they say?

Enquiring minds want to know....

Meaning a highly attractive women would be of higher value than an unattractive women?

If women don't believe this, why do they often say a man is "not worthy" if he is of low status or a "loser" when he is seen dating a physically attractive woman? Maybe she is also a loser.

Or does being physically attractive as a woman make you automatically a winner?

I'm shocked to see how unaware most people are. Wife abuse is more then just some guy throwing a tempertantrum. Who here can say what it really means to have been abused. This is not a competition men, it really does happen. And women do die at the hands of someone they love.

Will women vote for Clinton because she is a woman, because they believe she will be a good president, or for some other reason?
What reason will women vote for Clinton if any?

Only curious thats all.

I myself have had enough of the Clintons and the Bush family.

...and wouldn't it be better if there was some peppering of questions about what a suitable woman is like? I know there there are other motivations, like anger and mischief, but I see true fascination and bewilderment at the behavior of unsuitable women as the primary driving force behind most questions here.

Has it got anything to do with the fact that the murder of around a million children has not caught the attention of peoples moral compass, so therefore your logic is to have millions more murders in the hope that peoples moral compasses may be triggered.

If they are so proud of the "rightness" of their agenda, why are they hiding it? Why do they think they are right, when the majority of mainstream voters "support couples having access to safe and effective birth control options, including emergency contraception?” Even the majority of self-described “pro-life” voters and a majority of Republican voters strongly support contraception. So why does the anti-choice religious right want us (and them) to have no access to contraception?

I honestly am not one to care much about celebrity news like this, but I'm aware of the symbolic relevance of this custody battle -- a victory for the father in this situation is another victory for men and men's rights over feminism & misandry.

I always pull for the man to win custody, since women always have the unfair advantage in such court cases.

But even if you look at this case objectively, you can see that K-Fed deserves the kids.

I realize Kevin Federline is known for being a bad rapper, and that he's seen as being a loser or whatever -- but he's done nothing to show that he's an unfit parent. Britney has done a lot of erratic behavior to show that she's an unfit parent, such as:

- strapped her child in the carseat incorrectly
- gave her infant children coffee and soda
- blamed her children for the divorce
- yelled at her children; called them "mistakes"
- lets her children sit in soiled diapers without changing them
- gave kids crest whitestrips for teeth

Since society expects women to take time off of work to caretake children--it is acceptable to pay women less when they return to work, since they have lost 3, 6, 9, 12 or 24 months of work experience. If more men take time off to caretake children, will they also be expected to accept lower wages as well when they return to work? Will men have to accept a "fatherhood" penalty, like women have to accept a "motherhood" penalty?

Some posters say that there is no gender pay discrimination, since there are laws against it (like the Pay Equity Act). They say feminists are making a mountain out of a molehill.

But after the Enron and Worldcom scandals, how can you trust businesses to obey the law? If businesses can get away with saving tons of money by paying women less, why wouldn't they?

If I was a single father, I wouldn't want my kids to associate with the criminal, barbarian offspring of single mothers. Do you think if we allowed by law segregation of daycare centers along these lines they would become more popular, thus more affordable and better staffed?

Sign Petition: Minister for Men

Petition the Prime Minister to restore equality for men by creating a minister for men.

In this era of single parents, divorce and blended families, the role and reputation of a man has been diluted to a point where he is severely discriminated against in almost all arenas. I call on the Prime Minister to show true equality to men by creating a Minister for Men to reflect balance in Parliament as Ruth Kelly is currently the Minister for Women

How do you feel about it? Men-if you have it done, do you wish you didn't? Men who don't, do you wish you had? Women, how do you feel about men who are/aren't circumcised? Do you have a preference? I don't have any boys yet, but am undecided on whether or not to do it. Wanted to see a variety of perspectives on the topic.

And what the **** is up with the man can't hit a women rule?
A women can slap a man and everyone cheers.
A women can kick a man's testicles and everyone cheers. Even if there is permanent damage.

If a woman cheats on a man, and the man hits her, everyone would scream "Cut off his dick! Crush his testicles!"

If a man cheats on a woman, and the woman hits him, everyone would scream "You should have cut off his dick at the very least!"

I am not a violent person, but if I every met a person like this who demonstrated this behavior in front of me, I'd break their jaw.

Of course, It probably wouldn't be worth it when all the feminazis ( 100% of answers.yahoo.com's female population )
tried to castrate me for the sake of 'girl power.'

I'm really ranting here but I'm sick of this ******* ****.
**** this.

I'm a human being first, then a man.
Everyone is first a foremost a human being.

Get rid off these ******* ridiculous prejudices and laws.

I am thinking why take a chance with someone you have only known for a couple of years in a country with divorce rate of over 50%?... Or why come home to a bag of delivery food instead of a nice home-cooked meal? Or why ever take that cosmopolitan quiz?

So I think Mail Order Brides are a clinically-proven formula to make your marriage work when its time to settle down...

Your thoughts?
