The ten advantages of being a woman

In the life of a man, there is no ovulation or clothing crisis. There is no hassle with laser techniques around a bikini line, and well, they do just back into a parking space smoothly. Sometimes it seems quite nice to be of the opposite sex. Kiek would also know how to handle it and wrote it down fourteen times. what she would do. And that got me thinking again. Because I do experience quite a few advantages to my status as a woman. Here they come:

1. When I walk through the city with clenched buttocks because I'm about to burst, I sometimes want to knock on a café restroom. And that door is always open for me. And I never have to pay. Many men can't manage that, you know.

2. Women get priority in more places. Anyway, on the bike, you have to brake a lot less often. If someone comes from the right in Ikea, you get to go first, and in line for a club, I put my heel over the threshold before my male counterparts.

3. Aletta Jacobs would turn in her grave if she read this, but girls are simply treated to drinks by men more often than the other way around. Especially at the bar. You can get all feminist about it, but I just see it as a nice advantage. Cheers.

4. You can get away with a heel/bag transaction of over five hundred euros.

5. And related to that: you are allowed to have more than fifty pairs of shoes in your possession.

Besides the advantages of being a woman, there are also many reasons why I absolutely do not want to be a man. Because there come a number of expectations that I can never ever fulfill:

1. Leaking faucet, malfunctioning door, or an out-of-control ivy. ‘Eric, can you take a look at that?’
2. That ten-hour drive to Lake Garda is often made with Red Bull-fueled eyes by the father of the house. And we lie there next to him with a down neck pillow. Okay, I'm generalizing a bit now. Pinch of salt, okay?
3. A man is expected to orient himself anywhere in the world within two and a half seconds and then guide us in Tik Tak language.
4. No concealer, no foundation, no brushed eyebrows... I really wouldn't want to trade.
5. And then yes, sorry, but that penis. That seems to me the most uncomfortable thing ever to have in your jeans. For example, while cycling.

Well, that suddenly puts a pregnancy into perspective.
