One question I’d like to ask is, why do some organisations, in consultation with their corporate uniform supplier not do trousers in women’s sizes and women’s cuts (given we’re now in the year 2009 and us chicks like the waist band at the hips not half way up to our bust), and women’s shoes/boots? Am I a man? Last time I checked I wasn’t. And therefore, do I need a 30cm long crutch? Nope. So what do I do? I drown in one size, and yet the smaller size is a bit tight in the leg and I can’t go into a full squat which I need to be able to do for my job. F***. I need to lose fat in my legs, in 6 weeks. How do I do that? Run/walk a 42.2 km marathon every week? That could work?

I really don’t wanna be a bloke. Your hormones would kill me in 2 days, if not 2 hrs. You can have them.

Re: waxing, Lance Armstrong waxes. And a bloke friend of mine who does Ironman triathlons waxes his legs too. Makes it easier if you crash and get gravel rash. But shit, even I haven’t braved the full leg wax yet… Bodybuilders wax too, don’t they – full body?? Is that why you didn’t go pro?

Overall I would say that we agree that we are living in a ‘man’s world’ however that in truth women are the ones really running the show. I’m not a ‘girly girl’ but I do enjoy being able to use it to my advantage when and if I chose to!

As for the ‘medieval’ debate, I say each to their own! If a girl wants to live in private that’s her choice, but I do things openly in my own home because.. its easier! maybe that’s a male trait in me…

The real reason I wanted to de-lurk is just to say that I think farts are funny!!! In fact, I broke the fart barrier with my then new boyfriend…sitting in the bath having a romantic..umm bath when all of a sudden I kind of let one out and this bubble of water just carried it up….blooop!!! It was very funny! When we stopped laughing I think we were in love Been together 6 years and still laughing at farts. So it’s not just a guy thing…

The reason we don’t laugh when guys let one rip?? Who wants to risk opening their mouth and possibly allowing some of that foul smelling air to enter!! UGHH!!

And once and for all, will all you guys finally realise that NO, it doesn’t smell great…and please stop asking! LOL

Tell Beck I have my clippers ready…

Enjoy your Sunday M

Peace.

Bumped here via Beck’s blog. She Dared me not to laugh. I failed. Great post.

Now – answers

1. Who has it easier, guys or girls? Guys – without a doubt

2. Why? Because they can go to a party every day of the week, in the same clothes, and no-one ever gives them that sly look that says “He can only fit into that ONE outfit” LOL.

3. Has there ever been a time when you would have swapped if you could? Yes. Mostly involving camping and road trips and wishing I wasn’t so vertically skill-challenged…

4. What is the best part about being a guy / girl for you? Being a Mum. I love being allowed to show public displays of affection. I love being able to get on the swings in the park. I like being able to fart – and then blame it on the kids..

5. Do we live in a world which is unfairly geared towards men? Yes. But I accept that and get on with it anyway. I STILL get pretty much anything I want

6. What men don’t get about women is…. ? We don’t care if you are going to be out all night and get stupidly drunk – we just want you to CALL us so we know you are ok..

7. What women don’t get about men is…. ? When they are that stupidly drunk they forget how to use the phone (multi-taking issue again).

Thanks for the laugh Craig – hope you have a smashing weekend.

EVERY man on the planet huh?
