Sugar/Spice & everything nice

Ears please...

I find myself thinking about different things every few years or so. For example, 5 years ago i often thought about what my choice of drink would be for the coming weekend. Did i feel like going crazy and dancing or would i find myself at a local chilled bar behaving myself. These were my thoughts five days out of the week along with a few others. Lately i find myself thinking about space, aliens, life after death, life itself, what its going to be like when our new president takes over and finally, what i'll be drinking this weekend should i make the journey out of my apt and into a bar. There is one topic however that i often speak about with my lady friends. I've talked about it for years now and i'd like to bring it up right now. Would love to know your thoughts...

Let me just state i did not create me. I did not make me a female. I did not ask for this. While i'm happy to be one there are certain things that seriously bug me. The obvious monthly cramps being one of them but thats neither here nor there. It comes down to this...if none of us asked to be here and men dont have our issues...then why do we have to pay for our own monthly products? Seriously think about it....

I can't think of anything that men have to purchase and we don't. Everything they buy we need too. Razors, shaving cream, soap, lotion, shampoo, rogaine, deodorant...i mean you name it and we are equal one way or the other. But men do not have to spend their money on tampons...right? So then why should we? I truly believe our Government should give all females a monthly stipend covering all costs of our monthly hell. Including whatever pain reliever works best for you. That stuff is expensive! In fact, i think i'm owed $20 per month for the past 16 years. Do the math...thats almost $4 grand! And thats just covering the basics. Ladies, you know what i mean. I'd like a man to challenge me on this. They would lose every time. I am seriously considering writing a letter to someone who will listen, any suggestions? Oprah where are you when i need you!

Am i completely out of line with feeling this way? Is this an absurd idea? If all men are created equal then why OH WHY do we suffer so much more? I'm not even going to get started on childbirth. Thats a blog for a whole 'nother day!


love to all my lady friends-boys-pay up,
