Random Wonderings

Over the past few weeks, I have had quite a few random (extremely meaningless) questions on my mind. They’ve been a constantly hogging space in the back of my mind, so maybe offering them up for debate will get rid of them.

1) A woman who is overaggressive with phone calls, emails, and text messages to a male is considered “clingy or psycho.” A man who does the same to woman, is engaging in borderline “stalking”. In both scenarios, the individuals are consistent even though their communication is never returned by the other party. Then, what does society call a man who “stalks / overly clingy” with another man?
And where do people learn this behavior?

2) As humans we have lived an estimated 4.4 billion years on this earth (via evolution argument). Regardless of the anatomical fact that we AGE each year, most mother’s still feel compelled to be “amazed” at standard growth of life. Why do parents still exclaim “OMG! I can’t believe little Timmy is going to be 3 next week!!” Um, hello? Wouldn’t be more questionable and amazing if little Timmy actually aged backwards?

3) The act of marriage historically started out of economic means. Traditionally, man where the breadwinners/ hunters/ gatherers. While woman where child bearers and teachers of basic life skills. Since woman’s liberation, most notable 1970-80 and beyond, the need for marriage due to economic reasons has ceased. In fact, in the past several years, woman are now outnumbering men with college degrees. If we don’t rely on a single person entirely for economic means, what is the point of marriage? (regardless of your religious beliefs. Let’s not forget, Adam and Ever where never married)

So now their off my mind and onto yours. Have fun!
