Male or female?

Ok one more. Is it better to be a woman then a man? Men don't have to worry about leering bosses and PMS and water retention. Men can be guys in the boardroom as well as in the pub. But then men have to brave the world with the face life's given them. Dark Circles? Nothing some Touch Eclat can't hide. A spot breakout, with the right concealer, all that is covered up in a snap. And we also have eye shadows, eyeliners, lipsticks and glosses to enhance the good features. Men get.. nothing. We can blow a whole month's salary on one pair of shoes... because we're women. We get lovely presents, diamond earrings, designer perfumes, La Senza undies. Men get briefs with some silly message, socks, driving gloves and aftershave. If we need something fixed in the house, we waltz our eyelashes at the next available man, boyfriend, husband, dad because we can pretend that we don't know how to do it and that's because we're female (and also because we will not, for any reason whatsoever, put our nicely manicure nails in danger) poor us souls. If we want to furnish our house in pink, tassels everywhere and have a four poster, then it's ok. If it's a man having all that, then he's gay. If we go to a black tie-do, our partner knows there will be 300 other men in the same outfit. We, on the other hand have the choice of the whole colour palette in versions of silk, cashmere, velvet... the list goes on. There will also be 300 pairs of the same shoes, we, on the other hand, will get attention from females within a 50 km radius because our feet are wearing Gucci. If we're not good at sports, it's because we're feminine and helpless while a boy is just a wimp. We can cry openly at weddings, funerals and movies because we're girls. A man has to bottle all that up. And if we have 'accidentally' parked on the double yellow line in front of a shoe shop, somehow we explain that we just had to park for a 'need' and use our persuasion skills unashamedly to get out of it. So are we better off being women? You bet we are!
