Being the creeper
First of all, let me say that there is not much that sucks about being a guy. We get to pee standing up, our orgasms are not complicated and more likely to happen, and our genitalia isn't designed to start bleeding every month.
(As an aside, could you imagine if that happened? Guys would never get over it. Instead managing it with maturity like most women, guys would run down the street, arms flailing, screaming 'ITS HAPPENING AGAIN!! GOD HELP ME! I'M SO CONFUSED!')
Two things though that suck about being a guy, or rather being a guy who
A) Walks fast
B) Enjoys working with children
Regarding A), every damn time I go to pass a slower-going walker in the city, I feel so fucking awkward. The slower going walker, obviously lost too much in self-absorbed thought to even THINK that someone else could walk any faster then they do, always gives off the 'oh-no-i'm-about-to-get-mugged-raped-or-both' vibe when I am about to pass them. This really makes me angry for a couple reasons. People should treat sidewalks like they do the road - stay on the right side of the direction you are walking. This might seem small, but I think that people who walk like they are the only person on the sidewalk are inconsiderate and self-absorbed. Its a public area - you do not have right to shoot dirty looks when someone who just wants to get to where he's going faster than a fucking turtle would passes you because your tawdry ass can't seem to decide which part of the sidewalk it likes best. No, I am not trying to rape or mug you at 2:30 in the afternoon on a Tuesday, you're just moving like a porpoise and I'm late for class.
Regarding B), it certainly doesn't work to my favor that I'm also a Catholic. But GODDAMN, I cannot openly say things like 'I love working with children' or 'I think children have a wonderful mindset' or 'Children help me enjoy my life more by showing me to take things seriously.' without getting 10 accusations of pedophilia thrown my way. Most of the time its joking and I don't seriously get accused of being a pedophile, but the point is that there is a stigma attached to working with kids if you're a guy. For girls, no, not at all. Its expected for girls. But the second you don't guzzle beer, watch sports, eat jerky (which I do, but work with me here), and do manly chest bumps and like things like theater, children, or singing, you are a QUEER. I hate feeling self-conscious just because I enjoy something and find fulfillment in it.
But really, thats all I have to complain about. Being a male is great.
