Do you think being a woman gives us more advantages ?

Why it's better to be a Woman!

1. We got off the Titanic first.

2. We get to flirt with systems support men who always return our calls, and are nice to us when we blow up our computers.

3. Our boyfriend's clothes make us look elfin & gorgeous. Guys look like complete idiots in ours.

4. We can be groupies. Male groupies are stalkers.

5. We can cry and get off speeding fines.

6. We've never lusted after a cartoon character or the central female figure in a computer game.

7. Taxis stop for us.

8. Men die earlier, so we get to cash in on the life insurance.

9. We don't look like a frog in a blender when dancing.

10. Free drinks, Free dinners, Free movies ... (you get the point).

11. We can hug our friends without wondering if she thinks we're gay.

12. We can hug our friends without wondering if WE'RE gay.

13. New lipstick gives us a whole new lease on life.

14. It's possible to live our whole lives without ever taking a group shower.

15. We don't have to fart to amuse ourselves.

16. If we forget to shave, no one has to know.

17. We can congratulate our team-mate without ever touching her butt.

18. If we have a zit, we know how to conceal it.

19. We never have to reach down every so often to make sure our privates are still there.

20. If we're dumb, some people will find it cute.

21. We don't have to memorize Caddyshack or Fletch to fit in.

22. We have the ability to dress ourselves.

23. We can talk to people of the opposite sex without having to picture them naked.

24. If we marry someone 20 years younger, we're aware that we look like an idiot.

25. Our friends won't think we're weird if we ask whether there's spinach in our teeth.

26. There are times when chocolate really can solve all your problems.

27. We'll never regret piercing our ears.

28. We can fully assess a person just by looking at their shoes.

29. We know which glass was ours by the lipstick mark.

30. We have enough sense to realize that the easiest way to get out of being lost is to ask for directions.

    I think it depends on the situation... For starters, however, there are no constitutional amendments protecting men from anything or giving men the right to anything specifically. Now this might mean that men are the dominant factor and have to be kept "in check" or it might mean that there is a psychological factor at play in society that says women are "weaker" and need protection. I'm willing to bet, you'd hear both sides of the argument with various caveats to accompany those arguments. We have a local newspaper (The Westword) that recently published an article about a guy suing nightclubs over the Famous Ladies' Night that usually occurs on Wednesdays. His claim was that women get free drinks from men as it is, so why is there discrimination against men on Wednesday nights allwoing women to drink free and not pay a cover charge. (The bonehead is yet to win a case...) There is certainly other areas to examine: payscales, gender-specific careers, maternity vs paternity leave, etc. I think we live in a more equivalent society than people are willing to admit, but on a case by case analysis, I think you'll see both genders treated unfairly.

    For sure. 1-5 yes. 6, if your an anime geek, you ladies do especially in their character traits of usually cold shoulder characters who are bad ***. 7-8 true. 9, not true if your a Southerner lady.

    10-12 true that, but 12, we do it too, especially if they have female features that look like someone hot we know, so we shake it off knowing they have a penis and know they aren't them. 13-18, who cares about that crap. 19, that is not usually why we do it, it is to make sure there straitened and in proper positions instead of inside this one area I have no idea what it is called. 20-22, that is not valid privelages because that is a social standard and not an individual right, so some of us aren't fake and perfer not to be so who cares about what others think as long as we are ourselves. 23 is a lie, I know lots of women who do that. Saying you don't, your either lying to everybody or lying to yourself or your ashamed of it. 24-30, eh, that's not a privelage, those are more social

    Source(s): standards some of us don't really care about. To add to addition: Women whether good or bad parents get child support no matter what and women don't have to pay alimony. Women get less the harsh punishments when getting sentenced to a crime compared to men even for murder. Women can be picky choosy of what they think is hot in a guy and men get shamed for liking beautiful women. Women get to man spread on the transport and men go to jail for it. Women get to wear slutty get ups, but if men do it, they get locked up for decent exposure, so cross dressers have to cover certain parts of their bodies. Women get special privelages in bathrooms such as free Gatorade in schools when men have to pay for it.

    Really, some of these reasons you have here are VERY stereotypical, and not all apply to everyone. If everyone is different, you're going to get a varied answer. I have to say: 28. We can fully assess a person just by looking at their shoes. NO YOU CAN'T. I love everyone, and I see you think that being a woman has 'benefits'. That is a sign you like being a woman and are proud of it..which is good!

    Number 30 is my favoruite by far as this smacks of my hubby he will never admit when he is lost but always gets me to ask directions.

    So I just flutter the eyes lashes and plead ignorant and listen to directions where as him in doors turns off the hearing aid and pleads ignorance when faced with which direction to take.

    Yes being of the fairer sex does have it's advantages.

    Source(s): Edit: The clean shoes is me all over.....Hubby cannot understand this though..'El Thicko.
