If I Were a Boy: Confessions on my 18th Birthday

You're a perfectly normal girl until one day you wake up to realize what life would be like if you were a boy.

The day started with a regular glass of juice, some toast and my favourite sugary doughnuts. Yes, I pop one in every morning. I know its not advisable, but hey, if people can get addicted to cigarettes and booze, doughnuts are a safer bet.

It was one of those days when I was feeling all philosophical. Questioning the meaning of life, color of vegetables, taste of blood (oh relax, I was in my senses), stereotypes and all that jargon. Lets face it,  gender equality doesn't exist in every sphere and men (thanks to patriarchy) continue to have that slight edge over women. Thats when it hit me. What if i were a boy? What are the things i'd miss out on or gain?

Just like most of the hormonally charged teenagers, I should have had bigger issues to think about on my birthday. And by "bigger" I mean boys, and "issues" I mean more boys. But instead, I sat down to chalk out the things that I'd have/not have...if I were a boy-

1. Wouldn't have to worry about shaving my legs every morning.

2. No bad hair day. Ever.

3. No manicures/pedicures/eyebrows/threading/tweezing/cleansing/waxing/etc etc etc

4. No makeup

5. I'd get paid more. There, i said it.

6. I'd pee ANYWHERE i'd want to. The world would  be my urinal.

7. No pregnancy

8. No random mood swings

9. A ton load of savings (no lingerie expenses)!

And the best part-

NO MORE PMS

But despite all the things, nothing beats owning a pair of red hot heels, a georgette cocktail dress and boys hovering around to kiss the birthday girl! If thats what it takes to be a girl, then consider me pink to the core!

P.s: Ladies, what would you do if you were a boy for a day!?

My mom used to tell me "a mans work is done at the set of the sun, but a woman's work is never done! I would love to come back in the next life a man!

you know...you don't HAVE to shave your legs. nor do you HAVE to wear makeup. many ladies look sexy even without it (mah self included, i only wear it for special occasions). and who is really going to care if you don't shave your legs? if they do, they're pretty superficial.

I am a guy and I get horrible mood swings....
but of course I have several major emotional problems in my life, so that is why...

From the perspective of a guy...
1. Women can't be fired for skipping a day on shaving their legs. Facial hair in the work place=bad news.
2. Just last week I had one bit of hair that was sticking 2 and a half inches straight up, despite wetting it down, and even mousing it.
3. Isn't the point of this to RELAX the woman involved? (well...manicures and pedicures. Waxing isn't terrible but it's definitely not enjoyable either)
4. No objections.
5. Don't get me started on the deceptive statistics behind this one...
6. You'd also pee in jail!
7. There's pregnancy, you just don't get to decide the fate of the foetus. Plenty of guys out there who want kids that were aborted, or don't want kids that were had. Least the woman gets some say in that matter.
8. HAHA right...
9. You can use the lingerie money on higher car insurance, health insurance, child support, and dates.
10. Oh trust me, there's plenty of this, you just don't end up on the eventually gratified end.
