- FlyingPhotog, on 08/09/2008, -1/+24Damn what a rant. Must be "that time of the month."
- DeskFlyer, on 08/09/2008, -1/+24Here's my retort list for men (yes I know the original author is unknown):
1) We hate your period too, as well as any effect you could possibly extrapolate from it.
2) We hate your makeup. We prefer that you don't plaster your face with that ***** yet you do it anyway and then complain about having to put on makeup when most of you don't need it anyway. Shut up.
3) You let yourself be a slave to fashion because you read Cosmo like it's the ***** Bible. Wear whatever the hell you want.
4) Here's one we can all agree on - bras are a pain in the ass.
5) Like you women never called a penis any other name. Riiiiight.
6) Men get away with murder? We get the shaft for every possible scenario you can think of. Divorce - you get the kids and take all our *****. Children - you take a picture of a kid and people think it's cute, we take a picture of a kid, we're a pedophile. Breakup - You dump a guy and he's the *****. Cheating - Numerous studies have proven that women cheat far more than men. Oh, and then you bring up your period again, which you claim "spend a good portion of my month" worrying about, when we have put up with your BS when you are on the rag. I could go on and on about this one.
7) Sex is different for women? As if (as someone pointed out above me) men are the standard for what sex should be like? Of course it's different for you because you're the opposite freaking sex, Einstein.
8) Ever hear of a prostate exam? Doctors check out more than just our nutsack. (And you forgot to disable emoticons)
9) WTF?
10) Like men don't know what peer pressure is like. I'd tell you to man up, but I can't.
/rant - ZurMacht, on 08/09/2008, -1/+18First of all do you know what Vagina means? Some women might find vagina more offensive than ***** if they did.
"Vagina
1682, from L. vagina "sheath, scabbard"
"Women are held to a much higher degree of scrutiny and to a much higher standard than men." Are you ***** kidding me?
This list is so hacky, and almost all of it seems to be standards that are set in place and generated by other women, not men. - inactive, on 08/09/2008, -2/+19Men didn't make the standard for women.
- inactive, on 08/09/2008, -1/+17Sounds like it was written by Alanis Morrisette.
- iJessicaRabbit, on 08/09/2008, -1/+16To follow DeskFlyer's idea...
As a female I do not agree with a single thing this article says.
1) Period issues - Birth control solves problems like cramping and irregularity and if you're too forgetful there's always the patch.
2) Make-up - If you don't like it don't wear it and be proud of it.
3) Fashion - You don't have to be a fashion slave. Wear whatever you want but be confident.
4) Bra issues - Victoria Secret. If you want to bitch about price they have semi-annual sales that are amazing.
5) Body part names - Get used to them or learn to shrug stuff off. They're actually pretty funny.
6) Women in business world - If this bothers you and you don't want to fight it then don't go into the business world. It bothered me so I'm going to become a dentist where I can be my own damn boss. Or go into a female dominated business (there's lots of these out there if you just look).
7) Sex differences - you're just wrong. Something tells me you're real young and/or don't get out much.
8) Gyno - really it isn't that bad if you just relax and aren't uptight. Cramping up is the wrong thing to do. Most of us learn this from the second the doctor tells it to us.
9) Having to squat pee - build some leg muscles. A few seconds of hovering shouldn't be all that bad.
10) Having a baby - Instead of being on the defense about this be proud of this.
Instead of complaining about what's out there or what you think is happening all around you just get out and enjoy life. Be proud and happy of who you are and what you are trying to represent. Lighten up and grow some ovaries. - inactive, on 08/09/2008, -2/+15What I can't understand is why is it so hard to get a woman to raise the toilet seat when she is done? Does she want a guy to pea on it? We don't have the luxury of sitting on the target, ladies. We have to aim and you make it harder by lowering the seat and making the target 33% smaller. Raise that sumbitch when you are done!
- Veni_Vidi_Vici, on 08/09/2008, -0/+9Pee. It's spelled Pee.
- inactive, on 08/09/2008, -3/+11lol that's too funny and some is just too true.
- Bonobo, on 08/10/2008, -0/+8what a whiny person
- vivisimonvi, on 08/10/2008, -1/+8EDIT:
It SUCKS to be that type of woman from this list - HughesAP, on 08/09/2008, -1/+8sounds like shes on the rag
- wontstoptalking, on 08/10/2008, -1/+8What do I care? I'm a guy.
Where's my dinner, anyway? - inactive, on 08/09/2008, -1/+8What a spectacular thought. Why are we the ones who have to put it down? Why cant they raise it up? Talk about equal rights.
- republifacist, on 08/10/2008, -0/+6It sucks to be human. Why don't you start writing a list of things that are easier or better when you are a woman. I'll bet there is at least 10 of them. In which third of the month was this written?
- inactive, on 08/09/2008, -3/+7smiling,, it seems that some do not like this list,, but having read it, laughed at it and agreed with some of it ,, all i can say is very good,, now wheres the mens version ??
- louiebaur, on 08/09/2008, -2/+6Regarding the pee..... that is why there are two bathrooms in the house:-) if not a problem for sure!
- TheShad0w, on 08/10/2008, -0/+3I appreciate your input and agree with everything you've said I'd just like to add a couple of things.
6) I could go on and on about the things that women can get away with in the business world. You claim that you would love to wear the same suit and tie for three years. You ever wear one? Its not exactly comfortable. I would love to have had options when I worked in that kind of environment. Have you ever seen the Dress Code section? For men it looks as follows "Slacks pressed and wrinkle free. Polo or button up shirt" thats it. Feel lucky that you can wear things even slightly more comfortable. Not to mention the fact that there are times when a guy has to worry about his job. Do you have to worry about loosing your job just because the guy you were talking to misunderstood a comment or was in a pissy mood or just wanted to be an *****? And I'm not referring to the real jerks who make inappropriate comments. At one company a friend of mine got fired cause he asked a coworker out to a bar to join him and friends for drinks. It was his birthday! But she told HR he was making unwanted advances.
7) The author has a very immature view of this topic. That or she has horrible taste in men. In either event she has a lot to learn. If you feel vulnerable no matter what you and your partner are doing than you have other issues and don't quite understand the purpose of intimacy.
10) No one said you had to have kids. No one is forcing you too. Stop complaining about something that no one in the world is responsible for. If you want to blame someone and you're religious bitch to your deity. If you're not then bitch to evolution. - ZlanMan, on 08/11/2008, -0/+2Great post! Good thing I'm a guy :)
- inactive, on 08/10/2008, -0/+2Yes she seems like she is super whiny. Like she is the only one with it tough.
- DeskFlyer, on 08/09/2008, -1/+3I think she's talking about her own ability to not fire a clean stream, which is bizarre to say the least.
- inactive, on 08/11/2008, -0/+2There certainly is truth in comedy.
- qzoners, on 12/15/2008, -0/+1However, woman have a lot of chance to win
