sometimes it sucks to be a chick..! ~x-(

being a girl is awesome when you think about it. first of all: WE CAN WEAR SKIRTS! better/more choices for clothes. second: we can endure a lot of pain! think about it. we have dysmenorrhea every damn month, and we give birth (which from the sound of it sounds like crapping bricks). third: we can show our emotions; wear our hearts on our sleeves without being called weaklings. fourth: yeah, we chicks may take ages to bond because of 'inggit', but when we do, it's BFFs! at least it's never a 'put it on the table and measure' sort of friendship...

of course, being this awesome has drawbacks... let me enumerate..

WE ARE CONSIDERED 2ND CLASS.
i remember how when i stayed at a hotel in manila with my mom, the dude at the front desk thought we were prostitutes! he didn't think we were paying customers! that was during the orientation at UPM, see.. 2 or 3 days straight, so instead of going home, we just found a hotel.
not only that, but men think they are better than us! like when you're out driving, and there's this crappy driver. they're gonna go "oh, that's a chick driver!" what the hell?? there are loads of crappy male drivers out there too! my mom even drives like a dude! (NOTE: i say this too, sometimes.. :)) i'm such a hypocrite!)

WE ARE FOREVER HARASSED BY DESPERATE MEN.
the lookers are always victims of this.. this has happened to me loads of times! like when i commute, the dude next to me presses up real close and tries to cop a feel of my boobs. usually, i just put my bag between us. but on a bad day, i will cuss at the guy until he gets off or i get off. and i know a lot of choice curse words! that's the extreme side of it.. sometimes they stare you like they're mentally taking your clothes off.. and it's creepy as hell! then his girlfriend starts trying to pick a fight with you for having a go at her man, but you're just standing there minding your own business and her man just decides to be a total creep and chat you up. tsk! (NOTE: why do women fight amongst themselves because of a dude??)

WE ARE SEEN AS WEAK AND INCAPABLE OF ANYTHING.
okay.. in short.. dude, it's nice that you open the doors for me and carry my crap for me, but i can do that shit for myself! thank you very much! i mean, i see a lot of women who depend on dudes for everything... i dunno... like the girl asks her bf to do her homework for her (and he does it!). i just can't respect that.. i'm all for empowerment of women!

WE ARE EXPECTED TO BE TAME AND OBEDIENT.
uh, i'm not a dog. why should i follow what a man has to say? if i wanna do this, then let me! if you want to do this for you, do it yourself! i mean, i'm patient, but i have a limit. if i know i'm right, then i argue about it. i can't just be expected to sit down and agree with a dude. this is why a lot of people don't like me. but hey, i wasn't raised like a filipino chick. so sue me! it's the 21st century! women should be able to think for themselves! so long as it doesn't get us in any sticky situations, then go for it!

WE ARE ALWAYS PERCEIVED AS VICTIMS.
okay.. mom never let me go anywhere because she thinks that i could get raped at any second. dudes get raped just like women do.. at least we don't get butt-raped like the guys do.. same thing with jerks teasing us at school. they tease us and expect us to cry, but i'm not a cry baby. i was the girl who never backed down from a fight. dude punched me in the stomach, i broke his nose.. things like that..

guys always think that we are the more fickle sex. they believe that they are better than us in loads of ways. they make us believe that we are inferior. they sometimes see us only as objects of lust, but we're people with feelings too. just because we're bubbly and wear sometimes-slutty outfits (ehem), it doesn't mean that we are airheaded dumbasses who can be manipulated and used.
