Is it the stay-at-home mother who raises her child to be an upstanding citizen and takes care of her home, or the woman who breaks the glass ceiling and manages to become a high-powered executive?

I often find it hilarious when guys say women are doing this soooo often. I dated a guy once who (I soon discovered) had some weird women issues. He once said he often worried a girl would do this to him. It made me laugh- he made about 12 grand a year delivering pizzas. I tried to explain to him that any child support I could legally get from him would barely put a dent in my new baby expenses, let alone give me a dime to spend on myself.

Seems to me the guy would have to be pretty rich for a girl to actually "live off of" the child support. So why do so many men here seem to think that this is such a common tactic?

They say the average child support payment in the US is $250 a month. Seems like that wouldn't go too far even in regards to expenses for the child.

She probably was one. I've been yelled at by crude slob bosses. I spent a summer in the hospital with a paint gun accident, almost cut my arm off with a chainsaw, and got electricuted and has a near death experience. Got $3K for the last thing. How do you get 11 million for being called a witch with a B?

I've always been an admirer of latin women. Physically, they are a nice package......Nice complexion, lovely faces and usually curvy. I've also met some very pleasant and down-to-earth ones aswell. Hope to marry one someday:)

Several folks have advocated letting men choose to forgo paying child support if they don't want to have a baby. I will call this, "The Right to Abandonment" law. Under this new law, what will happen in these circumstances?:

Mary is a cashier at Wal-mart and makes $7 an hour. She becomes pregnant with her casual boyfriend. He invokes his "right to abandon" and refuses to pay support. Child care costs $4 an hour. What should she do?

Beth makes $25 an hour as an accountant, and lives with her boyfriend. After she becomes pregnant, he decides he isn't ready for parenthood, and doesn't want to "share" his income of $50,000 a year. Her daughter is born with cerebral palsy and must either be cared for by a nurse at $18 an hour or Beth has to quit her job. However, she needs to keep her health insurance, and her BF refuses to add the girl to his policy, claiming he is not her parent legally.

So what should we do? Bring back welfare? Build orphanages? Ideas, anyone?

I have two friends who both claim to be insecure about their bodys.

Girl 1: Is shy and never draws attention to herself. She never talks about sex as she's frightened someone will say "GROSS! I don't wanna think about YOU having sex, I think i'm gonna vomit." She never wears sexy clothes as she says she feels like a fraud, and that only hot girls can wear sexy clothes. She doesn't show off her body as she's frightened someone will say something.

Girl 2: Talks about sex ALL the time, wears clothes that show off her body, and constantly flirts with men. She purposely doesn't tell people she has a boyfriend so she gets more attention from guys.

I'D LIKE YOUR OPINION ON THIS:
I don't believe girl 2 is insecure. Some may argue that she feels she needs to dress sexy to get guys attention to feel good. BUT personally I think, that by assuming her dressing sexy will get a guys attention is actually quite arrogant.

What do you think?

When they tell men they don't even know that the women in their lives (who they also don't know) are probably lying to them?

The question seems to have been misinterpreted and prompted a dispute about telling "white lies", but I am not disputing whether a "white lie" is ever justified or understandable or whether men and women both commit them.

What I am talking about is the tactic of telling men "Oh, women lie to you all the time" or "I am sure you've had many women 'fake it' with you", which seems ostensibly to humble (shame?) men, but in fact is sending the message, "Women are liars and men are too dumb to tell the difference", which - if believed by men - is a recipe for paranoia and misogyny.

If a man says, "No, I don't think you look fat," that may or may not be true, but if a man started telling women he doesn't even know, "Yes, I am sure your partner thinks you're fat. We men lie about that all the time, because you women are so gullible and needy"...

Whenever a woman is really angry and a man just smiles, puts his hand over her mouth and then starts kissing her all over... that usually results in some very passionate sex... It is funny and weird how easy it is to change her mood from one extreme to another, yet it works all the time... Why?

Why are women so turned on by groping their rear

I like it butt its just like hugging or kissing, general affection, it doesn't turn me on

Why do most women react so sexily to it and love to get spanked in the bedroom

It reminds me of an immature psychology, the bad little girl has to be punished by her betters (except once she has moved out and doesn't live with daddy anymore, its her partner in a relationship, admitting in a subconscious way men are powerful/superior and should be the deliverers of justice and punishment)

Roe v. Wade cited Buck v. Bell, a 1927 case upholding forced sterilization. In San Antonio Independent School District v. Rodriguez, Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall comments on Roe's decision, saying: "[T]he Court reaffirmed its initial decision in Buck v. Bell. See Roe v. Wade, supra, at 154." In other words, Roe reaffirmed forced sterilization of women. Then in 1978, in a case called Stump v. Sparkman, the Court upheld forced sterilization even of unrepresented women. So the question is would you support Roe v. Wade if you found this out?

Britney Spears' carreer has taken a complete downtownurn. Once an American icon -- now a defeated, humiliated American woman.

When she first arrived, she was a pop icon. It had gone from success after success, to defeat after defeat.

How can she endure so much stress? The divorce, the weight gain, her degradation of her looks, the public humiliation of her not wearing underwear and her privates being exposed to photographs for the world to see, her shaving her hair, her drug abuse, her being slammed in the media as being an unfit mother...

when you thought it couldn't get any worse, she loses custody of her kids to the father AND she is due in court for a hit & run and will possibly face jail time.

Is there a possibility this thoroughly defeated and beaten-down American icon may commit suicide? That's way too much stress anyone should take all at once. How will she snap?

Males dominate the world of art as much as we dominate the cold, rational world of science.

Although tenderness is a female virtue, the most tender, and lyrical ballads were composed by MALE composers.

Although appreciating flowers is thought of as a female thing nowadays, the people who waxed most poetic about the beauty of flowers were MEN (The Romantic era poets).


Why, is only the cold, rational side seen as masculine? Men have a creative, irrational, artistic side too.

Have you noticed something about “powerful” woman…they seem to be about as effective in securing a real man as an Eunuch is in securing a woman. When your that far off the bell curve, it’s a tough bet to find a “normal” person.

I once asked a girl why did she want to become President…she stated that she wanted to be President to show a woman could do the same job as a man(and do you think that attitude tends to go with this new generation of woman…the need to prove something??!!)

If you’re a powerful woman who has no man…remember: men prefer woman who possess traits of their MOTHER, not their father.

To those who LOVE money, they will NEVER have enough…what a GOAL to aspire to, in a morally and ethically bankrupt society.
