5 reasons why men are happy they are NOT women

I sat back and thought about a woman’s daily struggle. I admire women for their resilience, but there are some aspects about your life that have me thanking Jesus Shuttlesworth that I’m a man.  No need to wait, let’s dive into it shall we [||]?  Here are 5 reason’s men love the fact that they are NOT women.

Club Stalkers

Women get ravaged at every club, major outdoor summer event, and block party across the country. Whether its arm grabbing, @ss touching, or the “pssst psst psssst” hood mating calls, thirsty dudes refuse to let women breathe. They get followed around a club if they swindle dude for a drink. They hear every lame pickup line in the book. It’s like they can’t even party… at the party!! I wonder if they feel that similar to a slot machine, they might play this game a million times, but they could be the next winner? It’s pretty wild, and a great reason to applaud the fact that I am a man, and don’t deal with this on the reg.

Pregnancy/Childbirth

The gift of life is a beautiful thing. I won’t deny it. That experience, however, has to be one of the most agonizing experiences ever. You gain weight, have the weirdest cravings, pains all over, swollen feet, etc etc. Not to mention that I was traumatized to watch “The Miracle of Life”.  Talk about an unprotected sex “scared straight” experience! To hear women talk about the effects on their body and all the angst that go through it, I’m good. Also let’s not forget that women get “left with” kids easier than you can whistle dixie.  The single mother plight is real.

Discrimination/Sexism

Women get prejudged  because of gender and pay-rates are usually lower. That sucks. Its almost inherent how it occurs. I can admit that as a man the lines between normal interaction with women and sexism are blurred. I have to mind my speech as to not offend woman with potentially sexist remarks (ex. i say “chicks” a lot. 95% of women I know do not have an issue, but that doesn’t mean that every woman cosign it).

Period

This punctuation mark can be the gift and the curse for a man. For a woman living with it, I see no real benefit. You bleed for 3-5 days straight, get cramps/pain prior to said period. All Some women get irritable, mean, and b*tchy.  This tool of nature can cause monthly inconvenience for a woman, as us men can just kick up our feet and chill, knowing that our bodily functions are in order!

I’ll leave #5 to you. Men, what’s one aspect about the female experience that makes you jump for joy that you got an XY chromosome? Women, are these legit grievances? Holla at me and let me know what’s up.

    These are the things i hate about being a woman…and the childbirth/pregnancy is something is fear second to death!

    the “pssst psst psssst” hood mating calls

    ^^^That made me laugh but i HATE when dudes do that…like QUIT…it's hella annoying!

    Good post!

    • Nick says:

      pssst, psst, sup ?

      :)

    • Nick says:

      And quit trippin gurl psst psst is a compliment, it means we like what we see, plus you like the attention, now if we said psst psst hey……tap your girl for me.

      You'd be pissed.

      So embrace the psst psst.

      Damn you so ungrateful lol

      • L.Dejean says:

        Nick, hush! I hate that psst, psst…just come up to me and approach me like a grown up! I appreciate that so much more and is more likely to get my attention because the psst psst definitely gets ignored.

        If you asked me to get my home girl, i'd get her attention for you…i have no issues with that. I'm not that self absorbed!

  2. Yes. They are indeed.

    If it wasn't for our incredible wit, superior inituition and the power of the p, being a woman would be completely and utterly unfair.

  3. I agree with a firm additional reason for not wanting to be a woman.. and here's my #5

    Maintaining Appearances

    Perhaps this is man's fault, but it seems women have to work that much harder to be fly. The competition is fierce and the variety is endless. From fat asses to nice tits to pretty eyes to flat tummies to gorgeous hair to nails did to smooth skin to maximizing femininity.. The sh*t you ladies gotta keep tight *snicker* to feel beautiful is insane. I literally get up in the morning and can throw on some jeans and a beater and pop an Altoid and feel like I could pull one or two if I use the right words. It takes so much more for some ladies to conjure such confidence in the morning. You don't have to try so hard ladies, but you do it anyway.. so I appreciate the gesture.

    • L.Dejean says:

      yea, i definitely don't always try…especially if i have to be on a train or plane for longer than an hour…i crank those #yogapants and a regular shirt! lol

      • Andressa says:

        lmao @ being on a plane for longer than an hour. I might survive for longer than that but if I now i'll being flying more than 3 hrs, the lululemon gear will be in full effect like im about to hit the gym. Sneakers too. Who needs to look fancy on an 11hr flight? Ef that i'm asleep.

        • LOL! I usually agree… however, I'll say it depends on the destination. If I'm going to somewhere that I need to look like a rockstar upon arrival, then I'll arrive at the gate 6 am looking like I had a full night's rest.

        • Andressa says:

          Your name has been slaying me for the past few days @SoFlyy lol.

          I agree with u on that too. It pains me to say that said 11hr flight is from Toronto to Sao Paulo, and while I may be rocking yoga wear for the majority of the flight, my carry on stays packed with something fanciful to change into before the plane lands LOL. Always gotta look on point anytime I'm heading home :P

        • Andressa did u say fanciful?

          I Quit! lol

        • L.Dejean says:

          When i went to Cali, i was in yoga pants & a t-shirt w/ a bandanna and flip flops on! When on the plane, i definitely had on a hoodie so i could be warm! If i have lay overs and what not, i need to be comfortable. I do this even when i have sorority conferences and know i need to be dressy…once, my flight was so delayed that i didn't have time to change so i had to accept an award for my chapter in my yoga pants & i just threw on a sorority jacket so i could be able to take pictures! lol!

          LOL @ Fanciful!

          My buddy has seen me like that when he picked me up from the airport before…i guess i have no shame. But a person should be able to accept me dressed down as much as they do dressed up…oddly enough, i get hollered at more when i'm dressed down then when dressed up o_O

        • Soooo I sworn I posted this but thanks to Andressa for that comment. I will most definitely will be packing a sundress to change into 40 minutes before we hit the ground.

          SBM makes me a better person. LOL.

        • L.Dejean says:

          I do keep a change of clothing on me in case of an emergency but the event sure needs to be muy importante in order for me to change in the airport, lol!

      • MariCay7 says:

        LMAO @ this thread, def brought me back to 4 days ago when I was running late for my flight to France and I threw on some gym shorts and a tank with sneakers, lookn extra MEHHHHHH! I was in a rush and it was crazy HOT outside, and as soon as I walk out my building I see a certain somebody who should NOT have seen me in that element at all, smh! But whatevs I had other issues, we had our little drive-by chat and I was OUT, quite an embarrassing moment looking back, but I think I make a bigger deal of things than necessary, sometimes. Wasn't my cutest moment :-/

        Def true though, we go through a lot tryna be extra fly all the time, but my comfort on an 8hr flight is way more important than tryna b cute on a plane full of strangers…

        • L.Dejean says:

          A plane full of possibly smelly strangers at that! There is always one or two (or more) people who DON'T wash their a$$es before they get on a plane…that is SO annoying knowing i've been considerate enough to shower so you don't have to hold your breath sitting next to me!

        • MariCay7 says:

          CO-SIGN!!! @ least I wash my @§§ before I get on a plane, ESPECIALLY on a hot summer day!

        • L.Dejean says:

          Going to Cali, i definitely had to hold my breath a few times…smh

  4. BSQUARED86 says:

    LOL Yes, all of these things make being a woman a very daunting task. Especially when the stalking, childbirth pain, and periods all become very real when we're mere adolescents.

    I want to add carrying around boobs. For some ladies, like myself, they're quite heavy. Back and shoulder pain can be a b!tch. The attention is a draw . . . sometimes you want it, sometimes you don't.

    • On behalf of all men, we commend you for your mammorical sacrifice for mankind!

    • L.Dejean says:

      One of my chapter sorors has that issue (she's like a DDD or F, depending on who the maker of the bra is) and she has a lot of back and shoulder pain!

    • BSQUARED86 says:

      @Streetz

      Thanks, lol. Most of mankind shows their appreciation by oggling, I think I like your words better.

      @L.Dejean

      I'm basically in that same boat and have been since like 15. I even lost weight to lose boobs and these thangs won't go! lol.

      • L.Dejean says:

        I hope that if i lose any weight, that my boobs won't go…that's scares me about losing weight! My soror is considering getting a breast reduction…

    Thank GOD I am a man…

    #I'mDone

  6. QueenT says:

    I love being a woman. Nothing more needs to be said:-)

    • BP says:

      I am with you Queen T I love being a woman, except when my TOM comes because when she rears her head its ugly.

      I had a male friend once tell me " I don't trust anything that bleeds for 5 days and lives"…# DEAD.

      Men can't bat thier lashes, quiver their lip and get what they want like a woman can.

      • QueenT says:

        Women have it going on…this whole post was a swindle designed to make women believe that men don't envy us…..nothing else needs to be said BP.

        :-)

        • BP says:

          Queen, you are so smart. fistpump

        • SaneN85 says:

          See, I don't think disliking certain aspects of being a woman mean that we all aren't proud/happy to be women. I mean, I hate hate hate Sonny Corinthos but still like GH (ok, bad example because I hate almost everything about GH). I absolutely hated the last 15 minutes of LOST and couldn't stand Kate, but still liked the series. I dislike my job more and more every day, but love the paycheck I pull in. Ya dig? I feel that there are a ton of actual extra benefits to being a woman (despite some of the drawbacks), whereas I can see nothing that great about being a man aside from it making things a little easier. #justsayin

          I think this was Streetz attempt to let us know that he sympathizes with our plight. I think Streetz knows he's not getting away with any sort of #swindle on here anymore.

        • Streetz says:

          Nope. Your wrong T. This was a genuine post to say why you guys have it rough and why I'm not envious. It was also a salute to yalll for having these aspects of your life that are real and persevering and making it look easy

        • QueenT says:

          @Streetz-I stand corrected then:-)

      • MariCay7 says:

        AMEN! The batting of the eyelashes and the extra flirting is what helped me on get on my flight to Miami for free99, after I missed my original flight (running late as always..smh). Anyone noticing my flight pattern here lololol, damn shame!

        But just like my boy said, a man could never have gotten away with that the way I did, GIRL POWER! Muuaahahahhaha (evil laughter)

      • Jhussle says:

        "Men can’t bat thier lashes, quiver their lip and get what they want like a woman can."

        stop the press… check back to many old civilizations; it was customary and tradtion for only the Men to wear makeup and jewelry. In some extremes, ONLY men of power. This was widespread over many nations & cultures. But as all things, traditions & social standards change..

        but FTR, in the 80's though the 90's, Prince, Boy George, several boy/male bands Dr. Dre, Dennis Rodman and most men in entertainment/socially were into the androgynous attire. And it made for a serious mating display to be reckoned with.

        My # 5.. soon come

    • BP says:

      @ Sane What is wrong with Sonny Corinthos? He is like the flyest-Mc-Fly-villian ever. GH would not be the same without him. Thatsall.

      • SaneN85 says:

        My first assumption is that this comment was dripping with sarcasm, and then I realized that there may be people out there that a) like Sonny and b) think that GH not being the same without him is a good thing.

        As for what's wrong with him let's start with

        1. mysogynistic

        2. Mypocritical

        3. Narcissistic

        4. Unable to accept responsibility like when he shot an unarmed police officer in the chest (who turned out to be his son) and blamed it on everyone but himself.

        5. Almost blew up his own daughter with a car bomb despite that being the exact way his first wife and child died.

        6. Has impregnated every brunette (and one blonde) he has so much as touched.

        Ok, I should stop now.

        Sonny Corinthos circa 1995=great, circa 2010=douchebag

        • BP says:

          It was dripping with sarcasm but I appreciate the list break down. Although I do like to see him in wear the color black 7854 different ways.

  7. shubby doo says:

    Not sure I agree with the pregnancy/childbirth one but My reason number 5…is…women are malicious, b*tchful, backstabbing creatures cos we're totally batty

    I grew up with 3 brothers…they taught me that if I have a problem I need to quit overthinking it and just confront them about it and say it so we can have it out. It's now a part of my philosophy. I have a problem with guys, i say it, we fight and then it's done. Over. We move on!

    A women's nonsensical ability to hold stupid grudges is boundless. If u cannot man up, step up and say what your problem is…it's weak. B*tching behind someone's back aint cool…coded mssgs aint cool. Sh*t is old and tired.

  8. the main reason i'm glad i'm a man?

    the world is my bathroom

    my hair maintenance is a 15-20 minute haircut for $15 bucks (i throw in a tip)

    winwinwin nomatterwhat

    • Please Excuse Your S says:

      "the world is my bathroom" – You aint never lied

    • Lmao @ the world is your bathroom. Lemme tell you… this I get envious of. Soooo many times I've been on the road in DC late at night and had to pee. Of course none of the Pakis/Indians/Middle Easterns that own the 7-11s/BPs/Exxons wanna let me pee. UGH. I had to maintain the Christian in me w/ one man b/c I was litterally about to explode and I KNOW he had a bathroom in there. I was even going to pump $50 worth of gas. I rolled my eyes told him eff off after his half-@ssed apology and walked through a few yards of cat calls of dudes admiring my club attire. One man was even like… I'll open my car door and you can squat right here. WTF?! o_O No n!gga, no. I guess this is two complaints in one… combine that 'world is my bathroom' comment w/ Streetz's number 1 & you have my fukked up night in SE.

    • #truestory

  9. Great post Streetz. Co sign all of this.

    I'll also add giving out backshots. I would much rather look at the beauty of a women being pounded than stare at a wall in fear my partner may get brave and try the other hole without warning.

    Male Win.

  10. dizzle says:

    CHeeKZ Money I so look forward to your post on all the websites I frequent. U da best! (In my DJ Khalid voice). I'm a newbie here to these parts and I am enjoying the view so far. But why did you have to put that image in my head, fear of the 'other hole' getting company?…eewwww…lol!

    • SaneN85 says:

      Welcome!

      If you've seen my CHeeKZy around the netz, you'd realize that sneaking that in is one of his favorite topics. :)

  11. funms says:

    great post…..

    It's not easy being a woman…..and i love every minute of it….well except the Period part…especially when you pray it doesn't come when it's supposed to or it actually comes when it is supposed to…

  12. divine Pearlz says:

    Great post although you were too kind with the # of days for a period. For years I had to suffer for a whole friggin week. It wasn't until I had been on the pill for awhile that 1 day had been deducted. The fact is that women only have 1 good week when it comes to all of that good stuff. It brings on. So many discomforts before the dang thing even starts. Also, I have to. Cosign on the boob comment. I love mine but seriously they can be annoying for all the reasons states plus the amt of $ it cost to clothe them.

  13. GirlSixx says:

    Yes, we GO through it for our XY chromosome but you know what at the end of the day….. I wouldn't trade being a woman for all the Gucci/Louis/Fendi bags in Europe (just to name 1 of my many reasons) :)

    I LUV Being Soft-n-Pink

  14. redlady821 says:

    I love being a woman. I love cute heels. I love getting a pedicure every other week, picking outrageous colors and then telling them to "make it french".

    I love getting my hair done at the Dominican's and watching my curly locs drop down past my shoulders. I love to turn my head and feel my hair sway in the breeze.

    I love lipstick and I love to laugh. I think that being a woman is the sh*it!

    I have a house full of men (husband and 2 sons). And while it's very easy for them to be men…I love being the only woman in my house. It's powerful.

  15. max says:

    Oh boy Streetzie you're gonna get even more e-panties thrown at you for this post.

  16. Hugh Jazz says:

    5. Not knowing what you are getting.

    A man can at least see a C-D cup and a nice arse, although pushup bras and padded pants can be deceiving. A woman just has to take her chances when the clothes come off to see what a guy is working with. (Don't know if she's still reading, but Jolie's "button" is an all-time classic comment on this blog).

    But to be fair, a man doesn't know if he's getting a woman who lays there like a mannequin or not.

    • new2natural says:

      "A woman just has to take her chances when the clothes come off to see what a guy is working with. "

      So true, so true…it's really a crap shoot sometimes…

  17. Please Excuse Your S says:

    The reason I think being a man is better than being a woman (IMHO based on my small point of view), there are times when no one (seemingly) wants to have chex with me. It must suck to be hyper/over chexualized all the time

  18. 5. I'm happy I'm a man because I would hate to be a slave to my emotions. For most men, logic generally trumps emotions. For women, emotions often trump logic.

    • Hugh Jazz says:

      I was going to say this, but since I only had once choice, I went with not knowing what you're working with. But I'd hate to be an irrational, emotional wreck under the duress of my hormones.

      • QueenT says:

        No you didn't call women emotional, irrational wrecks! That is a gross generalization Hugh.

        • Hugh Jazz says:

          I'm only talking about the emotional, irrational wrecks who blame their emotions and irrationality on their hormones.

          I'd never lump you in that category Queen! (slightly inappropriate e-hug)

  19. Alexis says:

    I co-sign everything on this list especially child birth. The next time you feel like bashing a woman just think about what you're about to say and just and say thank you. That's what we deserve. Being a woman is tough work!

  20. spending hours getting your hair done plus the cost of a trip to the hair salon is ridiculous. i cut my own hair and that takes me about 30 minutes twice a week. t-edgers run about $70 and a quality set of clipper run about $60. after about 5 haircuts it already paid for itself.

    another thing i'm glad i don't have to deal with is the predisposition to weight gain. before some of y'all come at me sideways i do know that there are a lot of fat men out there as well but women are more prone to carry more body fat.

    i see women get harassed constantly and i always think that couldn't be me. when they kindly tell a dude they aren't interested then they get stuck up or cursed out. its a lose/lose situation.

    • "spending hours getting your hair done plus the cost of a trip to the hair salon is ridiculous."

      Amen. It took me a couple trips to a couple different beauty stores to gather all my supplies ($135), an InStyler from TV — I needed to know if it worked ($120) and the cost of the beautician ($100) all in one week. Hopefully this hairstyle lasts 2 months… one can only hope.

      • SaneN85 says:

        I've been curious about that InStyler. Does it actually work?

        • Uhm… I'll say this. There is a learning curve w/ it. I still don't know how they made the wide spiral curls on the commercial. I get the flips, bone straight, feathering and the simple bends… but curls… they trippin. I'll also say that it most likely works better if you have the hair of a 2520. Por ejemplo, I used it on my hair (my bangs) before getting my newest weave… I wasn't really feeling the results. But then again, I hadn't really mastered the equipment yet either. By the time I got my weave I had a a handle on the equipment and it works fairly well on the weave. Would I recommend it for a black person? Nope. It's too expensive for weave only and I don't see it really striaghtening curls like the commercial portrays. Secondly, the bristles on the brush part are too soft for regular African-American hair… I'm not saying they need boar bristles, but they definitely need something else. Thirdly, if you as a black woman are trying to get close to your roots… fahgehdaboutit. Barrels too big, plastics too thick. You are most definitely about 1/2 inch away from the roots. In conclusion…

          InStyler – you need more people.

        • All of this — All this right here… is exactly why I'm happy I'm not a woman.

      • see right there is what i'm talking about. when i did go to barber shops i paid $12+tip for a haircut once a week. those prices are ridic.

      • See, this is why I need to start doing hair. The black hair care market is a huge racket in this country, second only after health care and the wedding industry.

        smh…

        • And Funeral Homes… cuz if it's one thing n*ggas are good at, it's dying… ni**gas stay dying.

          When the last time you heard about a funeral home in the hood going out of business…

    • But yo, I often cut my own hair also. I know you mentioned clippers… I invested in a pair of Oster 76s and they changed my life. Depending on where you buy that can be around 125-150, but they are well worth it, and you'll never have to buy another pair. For the shape up I use an Andis T-Outliner.

      • Andis T liners are the GOAT!

        I always carry those with me on travel and use it for in-week maintenance before my weekly cut/shape up

        • Gotta bring the T-Outliners with you, everywhere. Whether weekend trip or Vacay. The other two options are to wolf it out – which isn't really an option, or, take a chance on a local barber (yikes). Did that once in college, when I came home to my regular barber, dude was like… "it's gonna take a solid 4 or 5 haircuts to fix that…" Never again.

        • @Most

          I have to get at least 2 recs from a brand new barber. I was actually in a bind one trip to LA, and got a rec from a dude who's shape up looked fresh. lol.

          Told me bout son in Inglewood. Hollad, got the cut and was stylin! A lil risk but played it safe with a taper. No full cuts!

      • MariCay7 says:

        LMAOOO!!!! The novel about the In-Styler compared to TMIMITW's small post about the clippers just goes to show all the extraness women have to deal with- hilarity!

        Still enjoy being a woman though, wouldn't trade it for the world, got me out of trouble many a-times, I'll tell ya that!

    • I was def gonna say hair as #5 but knew yall would bring it up.

      The craziest thing to me is how LONG women stay in an effin beauty parlour! My barber works on appointments, so I know when Im goin in, and leaving. pause.

      The cost is also a beast too. My younger sister STAY hittin me up talmbout $40 for some hair. smh. I know it aint a swindle either, gotta love women right?

      • MariCay7 says:

        Sometimes I wonder if women would have qualms about cutting their hair short/rockin a baldy, if it weren't for men…?

      • I just tweeted the other day that it hasto be in the beautician's code of conduct to NEVER be on time… like ever. Man, one time <del>at band camp</del> I was in the salon from 9 am – 6 pm. That is a full time job. Absolutely crazy… but I couldn't even leave b/c I'd already taken my hair out and I would've been a hot @rse mess walking down the street.

    • L.Dejean says:

      It has to be a real special occasion for me to go get my hair done…otherwise, i wash my hair myself and then i put some product in and go!

      I'm glad i've got the type of hair where i can do that! lol

  21. SaneN85 says:

    All of those listed already are great additions to this list. Let me add mine below.

    1. The "you must be single because there is something wrong with you" which I see a lot on the internet. If a man is in his 30s and single, it's either assumed it's by choice or not addressed at all. If it's a woman, it's because of bla, bla, bla and dee, dee, der.

    2. The clock (for most of us). I'm not stressed about being single, what does make me a little anxious though is knowing that my clock will be ticking pretty loudly in 5 years or so. There are women out there who this isn't a huge issue for, women who've decided not to have kids, but even then they have to go to lengths to ignore that clock.

    3. The assumption that if we have a problem with something, it's probably because we're emotional/hormonal/BSC/illogical or whatever insulting thing you can think of.

    I think that's it. Yep, that's it for me.

    Not being able to slam all the men you want whenever you want without being labeled a ho is hands down the worst thing about being a woman.

    Not that I would necessarily do this who am I kidding? Of course I would! but I would like to at least have the option.

    "For a woman living with it, I see no real benefit. You bleed for 3-5 days straight, get cramps/pain prior to said period."

    Yeah, I'm sure most women would agree that they wish there was another way to feel relieved that you're not pregnant. Because, that's probably the only time I've seen a chick (I use it too lol) happy to see her Aunt Flo.

    I cosign with max;

    it would be cool, to be able to smash a dude whenever da moments right, without having to worry bout your reputation, gettin pregnant nd "who da babydaddy is?".

    Childbirth is beautiful, gift nd a miracle. But the pain is truly scary. You have to worry about post-partem depression and gettin ur body back nd keepin ur kitty tight.

    I think y'all pretty much touch on everything. You dudes have it pretty easy. Once you hit puberty y'all are good to go. But being a woman is about constantly changing and working hard to maintain stability in all aspects.

    the "pity stares" when you go to the family functions alone.. I have an aunt that tried to convince me that I should marry my ex so I could "have a little girl by now" aside from the fact that I do not even talk to said ex..

    I'm tired of justifying why I'm single. Why I'm fine with it, and why you aren't saying the same thing to Cousin "Reds" who's 37 and single. Go over there with that!!

      I get stuff like this alllllll the time and I'm only 23!!!!!

      In my fam women get married in their early 20s (in the past, even before then) so they're always hinting at crap. I feel your pain, smh

      • Nick@Nite says:

        i'm 32….

        NuffSaid

        ironically though, none of these people is my mother.. which i actually have to thank her for… she doesn't ask me about babies either.. she knows better..

        • MariCay7 says:

          Mine neither!!!! Always aunts and others who have NO business whatsoever. My mom really doesn't care, but sometimes ppl sway her thoughts, but for the most part she never brings it up on her own. God bless her for that! I honestly don't have the patience to sit there and deal with it lol

        • iLoveit says:

          I don't understand the Aunts either. Mine just want me to pop out children sans job or husband. My mother is the reverse, she says "Take your time dear because I will not be a grandmother before I become a mother in law"

    hmm well there are remedies for the above the first being the obvious (use protection; know who you giving the bizness to and…… You can't be a Ho if NO ONE knows….) #hardwink

    My addition to the list?

    As a man, I save tons of money not patronizing companies who over-charge for one to feel good about "ones own self" and/or stand out in a crowd… i.e. The Fashion Mafia!! :-)

    Uhm? :-) :-)

    Vesace, Gucci, Hilfiger, D&G, Vuitton, Tiffany, Michael Kors, Ralph Lauren, Bill Blass, Calvin Klein, Armani, Givenchy, Gautier, Marc Jacobs, De La Renta, …oh my bad…Phat Pharm, Pasties, Apple Bottoms, Sean Who?, etc….all funded or run by men!!

    ….. See for the average sister Wang is too expensive, DK is too.

    As a man, I can dress up in a pair of $500.00 wingtips, wear them for years and always be stylish.. OR.. Be a serious baller in $5.00 flip flops from Walmart without feeling like my manhood has been punctured!!

    Womanhood is too da*n expensive!!!

    They don't call it MAKE-UP (as in MADE UP)….fur nuthin' (pun) :-) :-)

    If I were a woman…I'd cut my hair close, get a pair of cheap denims, rock the heels from Payless, T it up at Walmart, Obtain the simple black dress for special events!!….AND BANK THE SAVINGS!!!

    OOPS…THAT WHAT A MAN WOULD DO…And there you go!!! :-)

    I love being able to pee standing up. It's a classic one, but damn has it helped me a lot of times in life:

    - Side of the road

    - Hood club bathroom with vomit on the seat

    - Concert

    - In an alley walking to the club after having pre-gamed to hard

    And the list goes on …

    Streetz, good post however like I stated above I love being a woman. We are the talented, dear I say it…. stronger species. I thnk that is why God chose for us to have children, periods, etc. I know some men that get chest colds and act like they are going to DIE. BAER.

    We can come home from a 9-5, help the kids with their homework, whip up a good meal, do a load of laundry, with a cold and never complain. I least my mother always would do this.

    And I get "psst psst" at least once a week. I swear Cali dudes think that is appropriate. But I have never acknowledged a "psst psst", you gotta teach them some how.

    5 Reasons Why Women should be happy they are NOT Black men:

    (1) People don't assume you've been in jail or partake in criminal activities

    (2) In places of education, Black women always get help before Black men

    (3) This is emo, but no one cares about your feelings. Off the strength of being a woman people care about your feelings. When you're a man, you get called all types of names and if you get upset, you're being emotional. Combine this with the race factor and things go crazy. I'll give you a perfect example, it's real common for a woman to be called a girl, but men… this ain't cool with us. When a white woman calls you a b*tch, that's how we feel when a white man calls us a "boy".

    (4) There's not much women need men for, men actually need women for the things that matter the most to us. Sex, head, food and chlidren.

    (5) If another woman touches your butt, you can laugh. If another man grazes my hand, it's straight to the two-fives. No exceptions to the rule. NONE. We gotta fight, even if it's my daddy.

    (5b) Black men will be playing, "no homo" "pause" and "ey yo" until we are well into our 50s. This is a cross that we have to bear that we wish would just GO AWAY.

    • L.Dejean says:

      this should've been a post!

    • BP says:

      I concur this shoulda been a post.

      But Dr. J why is it ok when men are playing sports to slap each other on the assests? Please explain because any other time (unless they are DLing it) it would cause a brawl.

    • QueenT says:

      This is why I am sooo glad I am a woman…our plight is nothing compared to YOURS..no bullsh*t.

    gotta tip my hat for those 1st four Streetz. so in celebration of being a man, my heart & respect pours out to women for enduring,………………

    5. MENOPAUSE ! that's like an indefinite menstrual cycle on steroids, with ALL the bells & whistles. Chemical & Emotional imbalances aside, the mental strain of having to process the fact nature has placed a pink slip in your "Vagine" is taxing… then comes the drought… YIKES!

    Us men, at tender ages of 12…82 (w/ Dr's approval of course)… And all ages in-between, We can increase our gene pool should we feel like it. Worst case for us is solved by the Blue Pill… or V (holla at Lafayette).

    so fellas, the next time do the Al Bundy & grab your Johnson (no pun intended, lol), be that much more appreciative that you have one.

    Smh at the cost of hair maintenance for women. Absolutely redic. For most of college, my boy would hook me up with cuts for $5 (no lie). #winwinwin

    Now I shave my dome. 5-pack of Gillette Mach 3 cartridges, Bald Guys Anti-Bump shave gel and Nivea High Performance Extreme Comfort Balm run me about $25 and last me more than 3 months. #GOATwin. *OchoCinco TD dance*
