<p>P2n, that was great. I found myself sitting here trying to think up rebuttal list—can’t! You could also add shaving is optional and all men’s slacks come in inseam lengths and no article of men’s clothing is embedded with hard, poking wires!</p>

You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park. You can wear NO shirt to a water park–and clear said water park in under thirty minutes–or start a small riot depending on your age.

The world is mine, isn’t it?
You never have to drive to another gas station restroom because you can stand and pee over anything.
You don’t have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt because you can get a man in to do that for you.

Same work, more pay if you get to decide your own billing rates.
Wrinkles can be frozen, hair can be dyed making you look years younger than H with the silver sideburns.
You can borrow a wedding dress form your mother or grandmother.
Men stare at your chest whereupon you can hypnotize them into compliant idiots.
The occasional well-rendered screech is expected.

The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades.
You only have to shave once or twice a month becuse you are essentially hairless.
You can play with boy toys all your life.
Your breasts usually mask all other body imperfections.
No wallet. A pocket will hold two cards and several hundred dollar bills.

You can have your toenails painted and clipped by someone else.
You don’t have to worry about five o’clock shadow or mustaches.
You can do Christmas shopping on Amazon for 25 relatives on December 15 in 15 minutes. Did you get a book from me darling? I’m so glad you liked it!</p>
I can only shake my head at the idiocy and ignorance of that statement.</p>
<p>
Interesting. I didn’t realize that. I would advise against sharing that statement with any man currently inhabiting a prison cell … I have a feeling they would disagree with you.</p>
<p>When you grow up, get married, and have children, come on back and give us your views. I assure you they will have changed … otherwise you wouldn’t find a woman who would waste her time.</p>
<p>My husband frequently tells our daughter that women hold all the power. He’s a man who actually gets it.</p>
<p>firewalker, re your list
Women have it easier:</p>
<p>Women don’t work; they leech off the superior gender’s accomplishments; see: gold diggers - Are you joking? First of all, this is only a minority of women. And don’t even get me started on lazy leeching men who make their wives do all the housework and childcare.</p>
<p>Women can be raped, whereas men cannot. - Are you joking? How does this make it “easier” for women? And by the way men can be raped…try going to jail…</p>
<p>Women get by on their looks, not actual ability. - This is actually a burden, not an advantage. The majority of women can’t do this, so we’re victimized. Trust me, we hate good looking women 100 times more than you claim to.</p>
<p>Women benefit from an educational system inherently biased against men. - You can’t “benefit from an educational system” unless you put in effort, and men just aren’t used to doing that to get their way</p>
<p>Women live longer than men. - True, men don’t feel manly unless they kill themselves with red meat, alcohol, and inactivity.</p>
<p>Women have lower insurance premiums than men. - Again, men insist on unhealthy habits.</p>
Let’s hope that’s the case. Otherwise, I would have to revert to my original thought which was that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree and he may come from an unhappy family life with a male chauvinist father and a home devoid of a mother … hence his lack of respect for women. I’m going to have positive thoughts and hope he’s just yanking our chains … otherwise, he’s going to have a sad little life.</p>
…( women who have discovered duct tape rarely have strap problems ;), and underwear 3-packs …I understand some women have given them up entirely :o )</p>
