Women joke about it, men complain about it, and there's no denying it. Yes, there are disadvantages, but aside from the whole birthing process, monthly bill, and other weightless arguments a feminist may throw at me, there are some serious advantages to being a woman. I believe we often get so caught up in the negative, we forget the perks of the ta-tas, and that, my ladies, is a mistake.
So get over the fact that you feel violated at the gym, accept the possibility that men may continue to be arrogant and offensive, and forget that you may always be perceived to be less smart, funny, and successful. Put on your big girl panties, prove them wrong, and play up the fabulous perks we are given as women.
We get to paint our nails any color of the rainbow, we can wear the prettiest of dresses without being labeled a tranny, and we are able justify our obnoxious shopping obsession by calling it "therapeutic". Our shoes create the illusion of legs that go on for days, and we can make a blemish disappear with the stroke of a brush. Seats are given up, doors opened, and lines cut - all in the name of being a lady.
One of my favorite advantages - ladies' night at the bar. Not only does it guarantee a good crowd, it's an instant money-saver for nights out with your girls. Depending on the deals of wherever you choose to go, there's usually a minimal cover fee, and discounted drinks once you're in. The bar my girls and I went to last Thursday had a $5.00 cover charge, with free drinks for ladies until one o'clock. You can bet I pounded those gin and tonics once I was in. If it weren't for the two lemon drop shots I insisted on, naturally, I would have spent a total of nothing at the bar that night. Having a 'ladies' night' is a sure way to draw in a crowd, so check out the bars near you for their specials. You'll get a plethora of guys to mingle with without having to work up a sweat trying to get one to buy you an overpriced drink, only to be let down by the fact that he's a cheap douche lord that just wants to get in your pants. Talk about a weight off your shoulders.
Don't get me wrong now readers - I'm a classy girl. I don't wear shirts as dresses, and I take pride in my reputation. But I'm also a smart girl. As I said before, I am aware of the disadvantages women face, but I believe we should focus on the positive. I am a woman, and I'm going to own it. If I have to put up with the crude remarks reminding me I have great boobs, I'm going to milk all my gender has to offer - including endless drinks at the bar.
