Why there are so many people break their promise? When I need someone to attend a meeting or party or competition, I will ask as many people as I can to find someone who has time and energy. However, some of them will disappear just before the event. I even can't find alternative person in a short time. Why they value so less of their honest and polite? Is it a culture problem?

Can anyone help me explain the meaning of this paragraph? This is an argument about feminism. "The main change I want to see is a shift away from liberal notions of equality. Sexist laws, attitudes and behaviors need to be tackled as a whole - and we need to stop accepting the excuse that because a female friend of a friend of this or that legislator has coped with the system as it is, all is well." Is it talking about law? Can you explain it for me in simple language.

Please help me explain the meaning of this sentence in a paragraph Here is the whole paragraph: So much of the oppression that women confront on a daily basis is a product of male insecurity - or a fear many men have of female sexuality. Whether it is the husband who beats his wife for wearing a short skirt, or the clan which forces a woman to undergo female genital mutilation, the intention is the same: to prevent women exercising sexual choice. Here is the question: I can't understand "or a fear many men have of female sexuality". Is it mean man is afraid of women? Does this sentence have a more normal order?

It is not good to like a boy who doesn't like me I met a boy at library. We almost come to study everyday. Sometimes, I felt he was looking at me, but I couldn't sure. Is it only an illusion? I learned something about him from my friend, they knew each other before. I began observe him and guess his schedule. He is very regular. He comes to study at the same time and he plays basketball for fun every night and so on. I admired almost everything about his appearance and behavior, and I didn't want to miss him. So I got my courage and sent him some cherry for letting him know me. Later, I got some chances to have a conversation with him and I still felt good. I'm too shy to speak with him when we meet by chance, so I have to look for him when I have enough braveness. That makes things more awkward. Last time, he told me he didn't like me in a connotative and polite way. All my excitement and expectation just gone. I don't know if we will become ordinary friends or not, maybe I even lost this opportunity.

It's too bad. My hope is disappeared. I would not cooperate with unfamiliar people next time. I didn't know any degree of their abilities and I thought highly of them. I never thought they could give me such a huge surprise. I was too rough to check my partners‘ work early，as a result, we couldn't finish our paper on schedule. I felt crazy when I run up the paper, there were a myriad of spelling, grammar, and structure errors, it's terrible! I couldn't correct them in a short time, because I' m not good at writing either.
