*Be sure to add your own reasons to the list if you have some to share...
;){kind=link}
#30 cracked me up, I actually laughed out loud at that one, haha.
I don't agree with any of these.I feel I am proud to be woman coz. I am not selfish like a man.
U never have to be selfish in taking and giving love.You become emotional. You are the center of love. No one will say you r ruse even if u slap a stranger for asking u time...
this is a very fun list, but does anyone find it a teensy bit insulting? lol maybe im just crazy but enjoying that i am a woman has nothing to do with the fact that i can:
- sleep my way to the top
- get a new lease on life due to new lipstick
- cheat on my spouse & call it emotional neglect
- solve my problems with chocolate
- anything to do with kathie lee
call me old fashioned (or maybe it's the opposite?) but for me being a woman isnt about chocolate, melrose place, lipstick, getting away with bad behaviour, or passing off dumb as cute. sure those are perks, i won't deny it. i just feel that living (and loving) life as a woman is about stronger stuff than that...
:)
I totally agree and think it's entirely meant to be taken as fun... I think all of us ladies entirely would agree that it's about much more
Agreed.
I agree to this
51. Men hold the door open for us, and it's not considered 'weird'
lol, #19. :)
ah yes! 19 <3 hehe = )
LOL @ #34
52) we are always right by default
Here's an awesome one! We are the Stronger Sex Emotionally. We deal with things and handle them much quicker and easier than men do.
haha brad pitt. ENOUGH SAID.
I want to see a guy give birth. I just want to see it. It seems like an impossible task for anyone, but...I just want to see if they can hack it.
they cant, thats why they dont... lol to the list, yeah its offensive to men but they will get over it, its all stuff we would tell them anyway....
Even though this is obviously not meant to be serious, it's incredibly stupid and sexist and none of these reasons should make a woman proud to be a woman. They are shallow and superficial.
This list is funny, but I was a little offended when it said "If you're dumb, someone will think it's cute." Yeah, sure, someone will probably think it's absolutely adorable, but why would you want to be in a relationship that has that factor in it? Man, I can hear the condescending remarks now.
As for the rest of the list, I'd say some of them are just false, and some of this are rather funny. Personal favorites: a lot of free stuff, no one has to know about forgetting to shave, and you don't have to wonder if your orgasm was real.
I would add that we don't have to feel weird by not using urinals, we're not expected to play a sport--but we certainly still can, and people don't think it's weird to have a lot of male friends if you're a girl.
Am I the only young lady out here who finds a lot of this list offensive, degrating, and demeaning. I'm not a sex toy, I don't cry to get what I want, and I don't base my happiness/confidence on beauty products (just to name a few). Proverbs 31 woman is the only list I'd follow.
Ahaha, the crying to end a fight thing. That's hilarious. And remember guys, this list is just for fun. It's not calling women sluts okay? It's supposed to be joking.
46. You can fully assess a person just by looking at their shoes. (this is completely true)
PPl its just for a laugh dnt read too much into it!!! read it laugh and then forget. Its ok to poke fun at urself once ina while and Maxine Wallace soo agreed wth urz i was goin to write tht :D
HAHA LOL. i loved this!!! just about everything was true!!! hahaha i even made it a not on my facebook account!! :D
I know you're all entitled to your opinion, but did you honestly think this kind of list wouldn't come up with stuff about sex and make-up? If you're offended by that sort of thing, stay clear of these sorts of lists.
What I find disgusting is that a lot of women feel they need to prove themselves as what society expects of them these days.
Think about it, society looks down on women who sleep around, women who spend more on beauty products than let's say books or something, and women who totally put out for guys.
Now while I haven't personally chose that kind of lifestyle for myself, I don't see why women shouldn't be able to.
Isn't all this degrading and oppressing women in a whole new way?
Men don't like us sleeping around because it means we might cheat on them, or they might catch something from us. They don't want us putting out for guys because that can lead to the sleeping around thing, and they can't be as sure of our love and devotion to them, etc.
So why doesn't 'society' put down men who sleep around and flirt with every woman they find?
Exactly.
If women want to sleep around because they like sex, why not?
If women are happy getting to the top by sleeping their way there, why not?
If women want to walk around in midriffs and mini-skirts, why not?
If a woman wants to use her sexuality, and her femininity, to get what she wants, then why the FUCK not?
Sexual liberation. Why the fuck should we be made to be ashamed of what we have?
Like I said, I've chosen a different lifestyle to this for myself, but I don't see why nobody else should be able to live how they want without being so critically judged. Seriously, how many of you actually know these 'sluts' you're criticising?
Like I said, you're all entitled to your own opinion, that's just mine.
Wow. Agreed. Enough said!
agreed
yes if ur dumb pipol will think that ure cute... but girls arent dumb. right ladies? we now how to fake, but beat us.. we can be the smartest human beings the way that we want to be sorry guys. :)
wow some of you girls need to lighten up. I love this list, I think it's hilarious!
Some are true for different women, it all depends on who you are. NOW STOP WHINING AND LIGHTEN UP.
@ Nicole, there's a reason for everything. Women dress slutty because they want something from people, specifically guys. Personally, I think it's wrong how women have fallen short of themselves and have given in to the needs of men. It's stupid. If you had any self worth, you would dress according to what you feel would gain you respect from others. Dressing like a whore gets people's attention, but not respect. After all, most women just want to be respected for being who they are. I'm not saying completely cover up your body, but have some dignity! Save the goods for someone who's worth it, you know? Why give it up all at once when there's more likely of a chance the man doesn't care for you anyhow?
Anyways, this article was funny. I did find it a little insulting, but every woman is different. And I think they are more or less stating facts, even if they aren't the pretty ones.
