When I look at your site in Safari, it looks fine however, when opening in IE, it has some overlapping issues. I simply wanted to provide you with a quick heads up! Apart from that, excellent website!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14234730.post-30657221027046660792009-03-28T12:50:00.000-07:002009-03-28T12:50:00.000-07:00I read an article somewhere (sorry, but I don't ha...I read an article somewhere (sorry, but I don't have the link) that claimed that surveys of teenaged women found that a little more than half blamed Rihanna, a little less than half blamed them both jointly, and almost none blamed just Chris Brown. <BR/><BR/>I remember a lot of discussions about how many women "blame the victim" as a psychological defense. That is, they can't bear the thought that could be helpless in the face of attack, so they prefer to blame the victim for having somehow caused the event.<BR/><BR/>I've gone back to school, and I've been struck by the demographic changes from what I remember in the 90s, particularly with regard to gender issues. On the one hand, I see a much higher proportion of women, and of women actively participating in courses. On the other hand, more than once I've heard an instructor make a critical point about sexism, only to find that the students, especially women, laugh aloud, leaving the instructor nonplussed. It may be in part that I'm in a working class community college instead of an upper middle class four-year college, but I think that some things have shifted.FoolishOwlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01573667007319000435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14234730.post-39417705687662448292009-03-18T01:40:00.000-07:002009-03-18T01:40:00.000-07:00I read somewhere that "Every woman with a man is s...I read somewhere that "Every woman with a man is sharing space with an unpredictable wild animal".<BR/><BR/>I'm a man but I have never struck a woman and (reserving the right of defense) never shall. That's just me, though — for the others it's a deep subject. <BR/>We need level the field, somehow.

We tell women who are battered and bruised that they must have "done something" to deserve it, and we laugh at men who have been beaten up, calling them "wusses."<BR/>It's just disgusting.azusmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08833120044345423052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14234730.post-66122523159279937502009-03-02T19:29:00.000-08:002009-03-02T19:29:00.000-08:00Well said, Cassandra.

I have 'snapped' at people--but my 'snaps' come out as harsh, sometimes overly-critical words, not <I>fists</I>. <BR/><BR/>I think men are sometimes socialized to think that violence is an acceptable form of behavior when they're angry, when it reality, it should never be.UneFemmePlusCourageusehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10162627227823701520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14234730.post-12222522605176813682009-02-26T10:11:00.000-08:002009-02-26T10:11:00.000-08:00Yeah, it is SO WEIRD.
