The problem is socialization that is still going on
Men are more competitive by reason of the same nineteenth century belief Males should be strong. This is still in effect and allows many harmful things to happen to boys and later men in the information age. This is what makes men much more competitive and feel much more defeat. 1. Men are given more aggression to make them tough. Any Male who ...

Obama historically screws women
from Confluence http://riverdaughter.wordpress.com/ There is no one that can argue with a straight face that women should vote for Democrats. There is nothing. They burnt the bridge. But women are just, as always, the expendable canaries in the coal mine. Their rights are toast, which means so are everyone else’s. From ...

The Real XX Problem
Nothing in this article addresses Newt Gingrich's observation that, ''If combat means living in a ditch, females have biological problems staying in a ditch for thirty days because they get infections and they don't have upper body strength.''

Women In Combat
I disagree with the overall point of this article. I do agree that women can meet or exceed the physical requirements made for men. There are many examples of this; this is not my dilemma with the article. My personal belief on why women shouldn't be involved in combat situation has nothing to do with equality and sexism and all to do with ...

Broken Relationship
I hope this is as a fair place as any to get some advice. I have been in an almost 6 year relationship with a woman I love. That relationship is clearly on the rocks and in danger of shattering. I never cheated on her, I was never emotionally or physically abusive, I wasn't an alcoholic or drug addict; I just didn't see that she was unhappy. I ...

Re: Master Cleanse Wussy
It's great that you use cleanses for spiritual purposes. However. The point that Samantha, and the Doctors, bring us is sadly valid. People who diet, ie use extreme control factors over food for the purpose of self worth/esteem/gratification, do so for unhealthy psychological reasons. It's not the worst thing ever, compared ot other ...

Polanski
Just because an adult is sexually stimulated by the sight or actions of a child does not excuse his actions. Your author attempts to excuse Polanski by saying the thirteen-year-old victim he raped behaved provocatively. So where does this slippery slope end? With the three-year-old tot who has learned that ''flirting'' melts an adult and yields ...

BC is not as effective in overweight people
I've watched this show before and noticed that many of the women are overweight and on BC. It annoys me that they never mention that BC is not as effective in overweight people. They are missing out on an opportunity to educate people and possibly prevent surprise more babies. Perhaps they do this to avoid making overweight people feel worse ...

Re: Question for Women's Equality Pugs
I personally disagree very strongly with the idea of women serving in Combat Arms units. I am a 5 year veteran of the United States Army with two Iraq War deployments. For my entire career, I have been a proud member of the United States Army Cavalry, the premiere reconaissance force for mechanized forces. There are several key points beyond ...

Re: listen to the man Icagneeto...
You're cynical. There are many women who say the same about men. And they are missing the point about most men just like you're missing the point about most women.
