Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! My brother was a victim of domestic violence. He was raised to never hit a woman! He adheres to that teaching with the utmost respect. He was married to a woman that would hit him in th head with full soda bottles, kick him, scratch him, slap him, etc. He would get in his car and go for a drive to get away from her and give her time to calm down. He never reported her to the police because they have two children together and he didn't want to have their mother put in jail.

Men are not the only ones that abuse their spouse/significant other. It just doesn't get reported/publicized as much as men on women violence.

Yeah, my ex-husband didn't ever tell me what he was doing or where he was going. I never wanted him to ask permission, I'm not his boss or mother. It was just a matter of common courtesy to me. If you're going to be out late, why make someone who loves you worry? All you have to do is call and tell them where you'll be and about what time to expect you....don't ask permission.

I fixed my ex-hubby's inconsideration for me by giving him a taste of his own medicine. I just went out all night without a courtesy call to him and let him worry. After I did that a couple of times, he never did it again.

As for sex and why she has a headache all the time, maybe you're not doing it right. Prostitutes get PAID to tell you how good you are. If they didn't, they wouldn't make any money!

Yes, without a doubt! We have come a long way in the fight for womens' rights and still have a ways to go. On the downside, men have been bashed, villified and tossed aside like old garbage in the fight for women to have those rights.

We need to recognize that there are obvious differences between the genders (that some women don't want to accept) and men are superior to us....in certain areas. On the other hand, there are areas where we are superior to men. But we are both needed and important for a functional and civil society. We just need to develop a mutual respect for each other.

I believe in the human race's ability to change. Though, usually, it takes something quite drastic to initiate that change. We are creatures of habit, whether that be our customs or traditions. To change that, we must be confronted with tragic consequenses to do so and, usually that will only happen at the last minute. Those brave enough to speak up ahead of time are considered alarmists or kooks, until they are proven right by undisputed facts or, unfortunately, unspeakable tragedies.

I agree, with certain exceptions. Outside, we should be allowed to smoke all we want. In restaurants and such, we should not because their are people with severe allergies to smoke and should not be subjected to it against their will.
