Than why do/did most of us go for traditional roles in the workplace such as seamstresses, teachers, childcare professionals, nurses, etc?

Some people believe that because a woman has hips and her body is designed for having babies she should stay home and raise children.

What would you say to a woman who cannot have children because she suffers from infertility? What if a woman simply decides that motherhood does not suit her and she would rather have a career?

Were you able to tell that the person was bi-sexual or did you think the person was just "very friendly?"

Feel free to speculate about my aim(s) with this question. I play armchair shrink as much and as often as y'all do, and it's my turn in the pickle barrel.

Or do you believe that the woman is taken advantage of, unless there is commitment involved? The latter would indicate sex to be unequally pleasurable for men.

We are assuming both are consenting adults with free choices and there is no deception involved. It bothers me to view a woman who chose to have sex, being a "victim." Is it the actual experience that matters, or is it what "come out of it" that matters? The latter would mean women have sex, not because they enjoy having sex, but because they are looking to get something else in return afterwards, hence using sex as a tool. And if women are using sex as a tool to get something else in return, wouldn't that be manipulation? So, if an attempt to manipulate fails, you would be the victim?

Didn't the sexual liberation give us choices? How can we be victims, unless we are vicitims to our own bad decisions?

Don't you as a woman ever see certain men and just stare at their physical beauty and think naughty thoughts and nothing else?

Feminists portray divorce as a necessary tool to free women from unhappiness (rather than working towards happiness in a continuing relationship). High divorce rates are even heralded as evidence that women who would otherwise be "trapped" in supposedly abusive or alcoholic relationships are experiencing improved lives. So it appears that, according to the link below, feminism is contributing to global warming which, according to Al Gore, will kill millions of women in decades to come. Are feminists plagued with guilt over what they have done, or do they rationalize their failures with obscure emotions unfelt by men?

Why do we ask rhetorical questions?

Kim Gandy, president of NOW, is spending all of her time trying to get Imus off the air. Is this really the most important issue in the life of the average feminist?

Every sagittarius woman I've met has had the same attitude towards friendships/relationships:

Basically the pattern is this:

When they first meet you they are super charming, super friendly and ready to get to know you. This is usually as good as it gets.

Then once they have known you for a little while (won you over), they put you on the shelf and start seeking out knew conquests. They remain friends, but you only hear from them when they need something or want you around for a party to show everyone how many friends they have.

I've found the men to be a lot less vain than the women. But, why are sag women like this? They seem to treat all their friends and family this way. Its as if they are only in it for the attention.

They seem to believe that a relationship only requires work at the very beginning.. then after that you can just relax and assume that person will always be around.

Anyone know what I'm talking about? I'm a Libra

That's my title to a report I'm doing on Woman In The Modern Career Ladder for a Women's Studies Sociology college course? First of all, what do you think of it?

The report revolves around the concept of women being able to work in fields that are considered equal to men (or what men would do traditionally: i.e. firemen, etc.). The issue is that in some countries still, because of cultural / religious / social reasons, inhibits (or forbids) women to work at a particular career path. What can we do as a modernized society to help such women and "educate" (for a lack of a better word) them? Do you think this will make a difference at all?

I have collected enough background research from various women's studies databases and such... now I only require the "general public" opinions.

I my post which received 24 stars at least before deletion was removed under these grounds. So I shall put what I suspect about what is going on into here, as it appears the YA policy is to delete the message so as not to make waves.

Is Posting a link Yahoos own Suggestion Board now a violation of CG?

Message to Customer Care follows:

Please confirm.

In any case, the seriousness of the issue being raised cannot be overstated.

When trolls create proxy accounts to post content which breaches community guidelines in order to use higher level accounts to report those violations, this effectively creates Top Reporters from nothing, who then run amok through the forums randomly targeting people they do not like.

Point gaming for reporters. A far more serious problem than people awarding themselves best answers. Only yahoo know who these people are, and of course those hideously abusing the system while customer care instead target a suggestion in a forum that is a victim to this ins
