...If he is the victim? If so, would there be any circumstances where he'd be to blame?
Could it possibly be because of the way he might be dressed or the way he might act towards other men or women for that matter?
I don't think any man would be to blame for being raped under any circumstances, so I'd like to know why apparently some people think women ask for it by the way they act or dress?

My girlfriend is trying to FORCE me to sit down in the bathroom. I'm a MAN and im not going to have my gf control my life. So why do women "try" to make the man sit down in the bathroom?

Having unrealistic expectations in marraige or relationships, that is said of us, therefore leading to divorce that apparently is brought about by our own selfishness?
Is it unrealistic and living in a fantasy world to expect a good partner/husband or do you think that it is realistic to expect of a man, the same as what is expected of us in a marraige or relationship?
Are we expected to love men just as they are? Well of course we are and we're happy to, we choose the partner who is most suitable for us and who we love.
But why is it that we as partners and wives are expected to change ourselves to suit some men? Why should we have to compromise ourselves?

He's my first bf and I know I can trust him. He never tried to pressure me to have sex. And I've curled up and fell asleep with him and never had to worry.

I read some of the nasty sick Q&As here about rape and I think oh. my. God.

The group that recently led a successful drive to legalize marijuana in Denver, Colorado, USA, campaigned on the idea that it is fundamentally safer than alcohol. No possibility of overdose, less violent crime (including rape), less possibility of addiction, etc. People also do not get into such a stupor that they can't remember having sex and don't know if they consented or not.

Is this one example where people would be a lot safer if they used marijuana instead of getting drunk?

How can we tell the difference? I believe the victimization card will do people more harm than good, whether it's race, gender or one's past. But how can you tell if someone is "falling back" on their victimhood, or not?

More and more women are leaving this gem off their resume, or are neglecting to mention it in polite company.

Should the degree be renamed: "Learn-to-Hate-Men Studies"?

I mean how does it affect anyone ? Our society tests candidates on a case by case basis, you pass the test you get your score and later employers only care about results and performance, with their eyes set on the dollar/euro people who have any say have become blind to racism or sexism who denies that lives in lala land. So why all the rage ? I mean studies have found out that asians are the smartes on earth and I have yet to hear of men rallying in front of the japanese embassay throwing sushi at them.

Roles like, housewife, cook, stay at home mom, etc.

Why do feminists believe this are negative things? They also take offense to being passive, submissive, or being in a relationship were they don't call all the shots.

The things feminists dislike about men are the same characteristics they are trying to copy.

Everyone wants to be the alpha male. Even women.

For me its child birth, mood swings, menstration, physical weakness, more emotional needs and menopause.

People are always whining about the opposite gender's advanteges and disadvanteges. So lets see which gender really has it worse.

What are the main reasons you don't want to be the opposite gender?

It should be taken as a complement, they're so beautiful that men can't look away.

I like it when women stare at me.

we have a spat and she won't let it go. we go in circles, and circles, and circles and circles. I allllways apologize weather I believe I am wrong or not yet she just keeps the circle going. Finally I end up just saying "I have better stuff to do. I apologize...its over with" and I go do my thing. How do you stop the circle? Is it just me or is this a common occurence with women? ( I have 2 sisters). Going in circles ends with fustration and a bigger fight than it should have been in the first place. How do you train a woman to just "let it go"? (I know "train" is inappropriate but you know what I mean)

Seen as deplorable, man-haters who can't wait until all males are annihilated?
Isn't this just as illogical as women saying that all men are chauvinists?
Or is this reasoning that all feminists are bad, based on what men have missed out on in regards to equality?
Do you think that all feminists are are cut from the same cloth and are all to blame for men's woes?

If someone's Q & A or account was deleted due to either violation of community guidlines and/or malicious reporting, what would be the point for the person to take this issue to the YA admin since the person must have violated "something" in order to have his/her Q & A or account deleted. Am I correct?

Some Scientific Research seems to indicate that it does, but it's not about *that* size - it's about Height!

Is height a factor for you in selecting a partner, Does Size Matter?

Article follows:

British scientists have come up with an explanation for why most men are taller than women.

They say taller men are more sexually attractive and are more likely to father children.

Men, though, prefer shorter women, so the two sexes are unlikely ever to end up the same height over the course of evolution.


In choosing a husband, size matters

Daniel Nettle, Open University
"It seems that tall men and petite women are favoured in evolutionary terms, even in a modern population, so the height difference between men and women is unlikely to disappear," says Daniel Nettle of the Open University.

The verdict that size matters is based on a study of 10,000 people born in the UK in a single week in March 1958.

I was listening to a talkback radio show this morning, and the hosts were discussing how materialistic some women can be when it comes to picking men, while men "just look for one thing - a pulse." They invited both genders to call in and ask if they have "lists" and what is on the list. Here's what one girl said:

- he must have a mobile, and not a "brick" phone
- he must have a car that's bought post 1990
- wage is over 60K per year
- young and model looks.

And it just HIT me how women like her just results in generalisations that all women are golddiggers! Its not feminists who give women a bad name - feminists are aggressive but intelligent and willing to stand up to challenges.

Its these shallow women who just think about MONEY and materalistics! If anything, feminists give women a standing in the world - that not all of us are golddigging airheads, but people with a brain.

Your thoughts?

If you were in a argument with your husband or boyfriend and all he did was hold your hand and look lovingly at you would that quell your anger.

After reading about and seeing the pictures of Jennifer Love Hewitt supposedly looking fat in a bikini, i'm a little bit disgusted. the girl is kinda curvy, but still very slim. the sad thing is, the websites that are bashing her now for being "fat" were bashing her a year ago for being too slim. can a girl win?

when did we decide that a size two is fat? why the fascination with body size?

Can anyone tell me the similarities between men and women?
I have a project for school to list the similarities and differences of men and women. Can anyone tell me the similarities? Besides the fact that they are both human.
