Frankly to me, women are interested in everything I can think of. Men (yes that’s top on the list), fashion, politics, religion, children, education, sports….name it. Women and everything huh? I think that will do well for a title.
I once read a comment by some unknown person and though I cannot reconstruct it verbatim, I remember it was something like ‘God created men and he rested, then he created women and there has been no rest’. I found it amusing at the time and still do anyway, because I really doubt God complained to him or anybody else for that matter. Recently a friend forwarded a mail to me about what it takes to make a woman happy. Then there are countless opinions on how a lady should be treated and a thousand more on what a woman needs and I’m thinking, with all the fuss about women, we deserve the unique award of ‘The Most Talked about Species in the Universe. Yes, we do.
God created women and we have come to stay, regardless of whether you think God isn’t getting enough rest because of us. As far as I can tell, he isn’t complaining; check the number of female births annually if you doubt me. If we were so much bother, I reckon he would have stopped creating us or replaced us with (what? What can really replace women?). So for those of you who hope that the human female species might one day become extinct, you have another think coming.
Now, what would the world be without women? Here’s a picture. Men would have to be men and be women at the same time, without actually being women. I don’t know if that makes sense to you, but what I’m trying to say is that men would have to be they are, do what they do, and still cope with ALL the things women are and do. Now that in-exhaustive list includes carrying foetus for nine months, breastfeeding the baby, cooking meals, cleaning (washing the bathroom, doing the laundry etcetera) entertain visitors, visit in-laws and relatives regularly, get the groceries, nurture the kids, earn a living, etcetera etcetera. Not forgetting they still have to do all this and yet look good for the men and also satisfy the husbands sexual needs. Aha, that’s one sensitive issue. I wonder how many men can remain celibate if women were to be absent. Maybe they’d all become homosexual then or perhaps there wouldn’t be such a thing as sex. I really don’t know and I won’t bother my little head about the ‘what ifs’ simply because we are here and we aint going no where.
Several times, I have imagined myself as a guy and the only thing that makes it a good idea is that I won’t have to regularly suffer excruciating pains and discomfort on some days of the month. Honestly, those times, I really wish I was a man. But no pain no gain right? When I think that it’s impossible to be a mother without going through all of these (I need my ovaries), I’m consoled. Though having never experienced it myself, I know that the bond and feelings shared between a mother and her unborn foetus is way beyond mere biological. That’s why there can never be anything like a mother’s love. Scientists have tried unsuccessfully to explain it, quantify it even replicate it, but I guess that is God’s exclusive reserve. The bond women share with children is one unique thing men will never have, no matter how much they want to. And that’s a huge plus for us.
There isn’t much to male fashion, when it comes to love matters men can be so ignorant, come to think of it, there really isn’t much to men. In the mail my friend sent to me, there was this long list of what it takes to please a woman, and according to the mail too, all it takes to keep a man happy is just to leave him alone. How boring! I am not a man hater, there are men in my life that have impacted greatly in my life, my dad being numero uno, but I just feel that men don’t make half an interesting subject as women. And I think that also deserves another award; Most Interesting Subject of All Time!
Again, what would the world be without women? I say veeery boring. So here’s my advice to all concerned, learn to live with us because you truly can’t live without us.
