I'M GLAD I'M A MAN
I'm glad I'm a man, you better believe.
I don't live off of yogurt, diet coke, or cottage cheese.
I don't ***** to my girlfriends about the size of my breasts.
I can get where I want to - north, south, east or west.
I don't get wasted after only 2 beers,
and when I do drink I don't end up in tears.
I won't spend hours deciding what to wear.
I spend 5 minutes max fixing my hair.
And I don't go around checking my reflection
in everything shiny from every direction.
I don't whine in public and make us leave early,
and when you ask why get all bitter and surly.
I'm glad I'm a man, I'm so glad I could sing.
I don't have to sit around waiting for that ring.
I don't gossip about friends or stab them in the back.
I don't carry our differences into the sack.
I'll never go psycho and threaten to kill you
or think every guy out there's trying to steal you.
I'm rational, reasonable, and logical too.
I know what the time is and I know what to do.
And I honestly think its a privilege for me
to have these two balls and stand when I pee.
I live to watch sports and play all sorts of ball.
It's more fun than dealing with women after all.
I won't cry if you say it's not going to work.
I won't remain bitter and call you a jerk.
Feel free to use me for immediate pleasure.
I won't assume it's permanent by any measure.
Yes, I'm so very glad I'm a man, you see.
I'm glad I'm not capable of child delivery.
I don't get all bitchy every 28 days.
I'm glad that my gender gets me a much bigger raise.
I'm a man by chance and I'm thankful it's true.
I'm so glad I'm a man and not a woman like you!

Sorry, but I have to agree with everything that is said above...but perhaps for more reasons than stated. Overall, I think women get the shaft in life, (no pun intended, but if the shoe fits, ... ). They carry the responsibility to hold a family together, are often stuck with caring for the children men abandon, if they party, they are called trash...if they stay at home, they are called prudes. IF they express themselves honestly, they are called biotches. IF they are not totally glamorous, they are referred to as a barn animal. Women keep the world running through all the insanity. And there comes that day when the hormones change, their layer of fat under their skin recedes and they are left wrinkled...often abandoned for a trophy wife with little to show for a lifetime of devotion. They work their rears off their entire life, but are paid about 70% of what a man is paid. They are taken advantage of by every tradesman that comes down the pike, and, when those wrinkles do show up, very few men have the sanity to value them and those scars of life. I love women, I think they are nothing short of cool. They are the target of mean men who abuse them, yet they continue to smile under the pain, are left to cry, but be made fun of behind their backs. AND the worst part of being a woman is ...now get this, and this is no joke! ALL other women set themselve up to be in competition with each other. Women NEVER know the friendship that men take for granted, for I know of very few women who will not shove a knife in their best friend's back if it gains her something, especially a man...a horrible way to live.
This year, we will probably see a woman run for president. IF she doesn't win, it will be her fellow women who vote against her, bet on it!
Sorry for the rant, but these are the aspects of being a woman that I cannot understand. And yes, I love women because of the life they are force to live...by themselves and by men. Hell, in all, they have no allies in life. It would seem that the only people on Earth who acutally like women for just being themselve are Gay men who have no ulterior motives other than friendship....yet these same women often have great disdain for the very ones who feel the most love for them...now you tell me how to figure out a woman... until they do a lot of changing within themselves, until THEY expect to be treated as equals...and I mean really equals, their lot in life will not change drastically, sorry to say. Peace and love to all, Phil
Sorry, spell check is, once again, not working

Hmmmm......I'm so glad that I'm a woman and past that 28 day thing! I'm glad that I get to sit down for a moment, if only to pee! I'm so glad that I'm past that time in my life that I want to go psycho! I'm glad that as a woman I know my limit... and it's a bit more than 2 beers! I'm glad that I can go out into the unknown and not get lost .... like my husband does! I gave him a compass and he still could not find his way! Unfortunately, the gender thing is still an issue when it comes to pay. When it gets right down to it though.... we all need each other.
Interesting post suz----

I Am Woman
-Artist: Helen Reddy-Words and Music by Helen Reddy and Ray Burton
I am woman, hear me roar
In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back an' pretend
'cause I've heard it all before
And I've been down there on the floor
No one's ever gonna keep me down again
CHORUS
Oh yes I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to, I can do anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman
You can bend but never break me
'cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achieve my final goal
And I come back even stronger
Not a novice any longer
'cause you've deepened the conviction in my soul
CHORUS
I am woman watch me grow
See me standing toe to toe
As I spread my lovin' arms across the land
But I'm still an embryo
With a long long way to go
Until I make my brother understand
Oh yes I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to I can face anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman
Oh, I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong
FADE
I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong
I am woman

I am woman, here me roar:~)
I think Goldwing had some great insight to the woman's mind.
Except one thing, all of my best friends are woman, because I don't have a jealous bone in my body. I would never stab a friend in the back to gain a man. Woman have been my inner strength since child hood as I have found many men to be abusive. Yes, my best friends are women

Think about the movie The Wizard of Oz. Kind of funny that the four of the main characters were male.....one without a heart, another without a brain, the third had no courage... and of course, there was the Wizard himself, who turned out to be the greatest pretender of all.
Kind of wraps it all up very neatly!

I'm glad I'm a woman!
Women have lots of faults,
But men have only two,
Everything they say,
And everything they do!

This is such a sad sexist question ... even if is a question in the first place. Don't go bashing at women man. You'll only get a mob after you.
