On being a woman

This is a something I just started working on. It's not finished yet but I thought it might be fun to see what people think.


Why it's awesome:

• Well, for starters, the clothes are much prettier
• And the accessories are better
• And did I mention the shoes?
• Because we're strong, even if we don't know it
• And our bodies were built for the ultimate test of strength: pregnancy
• All the best art is about us. Throughout history, women have been responsible for the inspiration and creation of some of the world's great masterpieces.
• Probably because we look so much better naked
• Because we can speak our minds
• And because we can be damn funny
• Because sometimes, we're the ones who save the day
• Because our writing is so full of passion
• And because we keep going, even when it's hard
• Because statistically, I'm going to live longer
• Because of men who make us laugh
• And ones who make us think

Why sometimes it sucks:

• Because even though the clothes are the prettier, they're not always comfortable
• Same goes for the shoes
• Because we don't always have the best role models
• Because there's so much pressure to look like this
• And so many of us buy into it
• Because it's naturally assumed that we all love: cooking, cleaning, sewing, baking, etc. I can do none of these things, nor do I care to, thank you very much
• Because we get blamed for everything
• And even though we're free to speak our minds
• There are always consequences
• And sometimes we have to fight so much harder for what we believe in
• Because of men who think they know what's best for us
• And women who agree
• Because our birth control is so much more expensive
• And because we're expected to want to have children. I have nothing against children, women who have children, or women who want children. I do not so please, get off my back.
• Because there is always someone who underestimates us

This is what I have so far. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.
