Boys vs girls (sleep deprivation weirdness)
For no apparent reason at all, my mind just wandered to the whole strange dichotomy of most species on this planet... you know, the whole male/female thing. I started to wonder what the good and bad things are about either side of the equation. Not that I'm dissatisfied with my natural gender, mind, but I like thinking about these things. Also, I like making lists. So, tonight, I'm making a list of the advantages and disadvantages of being a girl. I would do the same for those of being a boy, but, well, y'see, I'm...not. So.
Advantages of being a girl:
-No possibility of surprise parenthood (happened to a male friend of mine) -- females at least get to decide
-You get to wear pretty dresses and shiny mary-jane-type shoes
-You get to play with face-paints (ok, ok, make-up) when there's a party or a concert or the like
-When cold, you'll mostly always be provided with some boy's coat
-They will also carry things that are too heavy for you
-Belly-dancing is easier when you actually have hips to sway
-Hugging of both males and females is not frowned upon (for some stupid homophobic reason, some of my male friends refuse to hug males)
Disadvantages of being a girl:
-Monthly need for painkillers
-Cold feet/hands (the female body, regardless of its owner's wishes, tends to send most of its warm blood to the womb region when cold, at the expense of the outer extremities)
-Badly designed body parts (aka boobs) that hurt when unsupported for too long (annoying if you like to just hang out in your PJ's in the morning)
-Being smaller than most males can be kind of annoying in a male-designed house like mine
-People assume you'll like romantic comedies (NO) and dislike action movies, comic books, and other FUN stuffs that are apparently more popular among males (like sci-fi)
-You get hit on by creepy old guys (do guys get hit on by creepy old women? *curious*)
-People keep telling you you'll want kids someday (do guys get bingoed as often?)
Feel free to add or discuss!
Oh, and in other news: Guess who's going to London to see Derren Brown perform? *happy*
