Reasons Why Being a Woman Sucks

1. We bleed out of an unmentionable orifice once a month - and if we don't, we get worried.

2. When we are not bleeding, we are worrying about not bleeding, waiting to bleed, or feeling relieved because we just finished bleeding.

3. We read double-meanings into everything even when there's barely even a single-meaning to read.

4. Even if we're sick, even if we're bleeding, even if we just want to collapse and die - we still feel this odd compulsion to nurture and make other things feel better.

5. There's this constant need to look nice all the time. To wear clothing that matches, a little bit of makeup, a pretty pair of earrings - even if you only rolled out of bed five minutes before and are barely awake enough to stand up, you're still squinting around to find the jeans that match that one top.

6. If a man gets around, then he's experienced. If a woman gets around, she's a slut. Even if women are making these judgement calls, they're still this way.

7. Men are distinguished when they go prematurely white. Women are just old.

8. If a woman wants to be in an established relationship, then she's clingy. If a man wants to be in an established relationship, then he's well-adjusted.

9. If a woman says no to sex, then she's frigid. If a man says no, he's human.

10. A woman can't be domestic, because that's demeaning. But if her living area is a mess, then she's a slob.

Yes, I'm ranting. It's upsetting to me, too, actually. However, I'm in a lot of pain and am extremely frustrated with the world in general, so at this point - well, I kind of want to be a man. Just for two weeks. I wonder if someday, scientists will come up for a way for me to do that.
