What is Victoria being so hushed about? Is she using 3rd world child labor to produce her overpriced panties and bras?

Most people don't like secrets in my opinion.

To me, this shows brings out the worst in behavior. If I was a guy marrying one of those women on that show, I would definitely think twice.

Why are people so materialistic and selfish?

Since women want equal rights then what would they do if they had to enlist in the draft when they turn 18? Don't you think that's unfair?

A common response to the question of, "Am I serving as a poor role model as a SAHM" seems to be, "as long as you don't encourage your daughters to do the same." Is it equally coercive to encourage daughters to pursue a career?

I'm not talking about wanting to see them well-educated, as I think every parent wants that. I myself plan to encourage all my children to be educated, to have a fulltime job for some period of time, to learn *how* to have a career, etc. But I wonder if insisting that SAHMs must carefully encourage daughters to be "more" than they are points to a lack of respect for the role of mother.

Is it equally bad to encourage girls to be "career primary" women? If you support choice, why must some choices be apologized for and activly discouraged?

This forum is suppose to be about questions and answers, i.e the sharing of thoughts amongst humans, yet everyone is so busy being hostile all the time that they attack without any regard for what was really asked---an example can be seen at my last question: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AobiYr3x5b5grHeLwPKbMiEYxgt.;_ylv=3?qid=20071113084808AApU9Ln
I asked for people's thoughts on an article and instead of answering they start jumping to conclusions about my opinion which I never gave! If you can't answer a question, why not stay off?

How many have daughters,
and how many have wives?

I am curious because,I believe every woman is a feminist.
and every father and husband should be aswell.

Would it bother you if your wife or daughter went to work
worked hard all week, and then their male boss said,

" because you have great big Breasts, I will throw you and extra 5 dollars and patted her on the bottom?

OR

" Because your belly is a little flabby after having 5 children
and your daughter looks like her father, I think your only worth
3 dollars."

Maybe, maybe not.
Sharing in this forum is to my mind the same as answering.
There exist many intelligent posters here, male and female.
They have words, wit and wisdom.
There exists also the "Underclass" of poster.
If the "Underclass" are ignored they will fade away.

Earlier I posed a question about my gf and how she cries everytime she watches a movie and I wanted to know how I could make it stop, b/c I dont like to see her cry. One of the respondents to my question said "I dont no why men are afraid of crying women" and I honestly dont no why I am afraid of it either?

I did a search on google for the word GIRL. The top sites listed were for girls age 9-13 (american girl magazine, girl skate boards, dress up for girls, activities for preteens, and so on).

Then I did a search for the word GIRLS. This time the top sites listed were about where to look at hot babes and sexy girls.

One letter was the difference between a child and a woman.

Imagine you are an 11 year old girl. You see ads for "Girls Gone Wild" or hear the song "Girls, Girls, Girls", for example. How do you (with a child's brain) distinguish the difference between child girl and adult girl?

Furthermore, how can we expect girls to become women who don't perpetually act like children, if it is not completely clear that girls are not women and women are not girls?

Any thoughts on the matter?

One could argue that the Y chromosome is simply a mutated X chromosome making males a more "advanced" or "improved" female. Since evolution is propelled by mutations that make an organism more powerful, and males are more powerful than females.

Plus nature takes more risks with the Y chromosome, that's why you have a lot of average women, while you have a lot more male idiots and male geniuses.

In the US, murder is the number one cause of death for a prostitute.

In a fairly recent case that occurred in Atlantic City (4 or 5 prostitutes were killed), a women's group asked: Is it prostitutes they're after or is it just women and prostitutes are an easy target?

Here's a recent case occurring in Houston:

More than 100 years ago, Jack the Ripper also brutally murdered sex workers and some say he helped rid society of its dregs (this was Victorian England, afterall)

What are your thoughts on this?

I don't mean professional requirements or social expectations. (Those are a whole other complicated matter!) I mean friends, families, spouses, and other individuals close to you.

For me, the one example that comes to mind is that I never wear my chalk striped double breasted when I am with my mom because she thinks chalk stripes are disgusting and they remind her of the mobsters she knew as a young girl. (She can tolerate a fine pinstripe.)

I get the impression that feminism and gun control sort of go hand in hand. Is this to try to prevent gun violence against women? Could pro second-amendment folks also be feminist? Perhaps if people had the right to concealed handguns, the number of rapes would decrease? I could kind of see it both ways.

Is gun control a feminist issue? Or are they two different ideologies that are often found in the same person?

Why encourage girls to shun motherhood, and to not become home-makers in order to pursue their careers in the corporate world, while at the same time say that women are important and should be admired for their status as child-bearers, and hard work as homemakers?

I think of people who were active in fighting for social justice getting attacked and threatened by thugs or people who hated what they were standing for.

But the media in America most often seems to have focused on violence or *potential* violence by the members of a movement. I have heard and read this both for civil rights and organised labour.

Do you think that the media in America can be expected to report negatively about movements for social justice because they are part of the system and are rewarded by it?
