2. Who exactly do they poll for these political polls? I've been voting for 30 years and not once have I been asked my opinion prior to an election. Makes it hard to give it any credence.
Number 5: yep, Clem is right, my sister just exposed a guy posing as a girl. I have too but on a comments section on another site! When I spoke to their moderator, he said men do it all the time! I kind of always suspected it but never had the nerve to expose it before.
Women can be very anti-women too, we know just by looking at comments here. Women have been fed the lies about women just like men. But I have to admit I sometimes call one of my friends a whore, she knows I am kidding and she calls me worse. I wonder in what context are the women saying it as I know I kid around with my girlfriends and call them sh*t all the time?
