Help Guys,
I have to write a 4 minute speech by the end of this week on whether it is better to be either a male or female in our modern society. While thinking about what was good about being male I got as far as avoiding childbirth and PMT while can easily get the tops of jars. But then I was stuck... I can think of lots of reasons why it's good to be a girl (although any thoughts still welcome) but wondered if you guys could tell me why it's good (or not) to be a bloke. ------------- I don't suffer from insanity...I enjoy every moment of it. |

Good - Get paid more! IMO The modern day society we live in, it makes me feel safer walking at night either on my own or with someone else. There is more opportunities for us in life, even though society is trying to change and make it equal. (As said these are my opinions and don't reflect those of others) ------------- |

Peeing:- we can do it standing up we can do it anywhere we can write our names in the snow On the down side, it sometimes gets caught in the zip. Sometimes on Sunday mornings we have to stand 5 feet away from the toilet to pee which gets messy.
....oh nearly forgot, we can do it on our own. |

We can get changed and be gone out the door before you've even had a shower  We dont have mood swings once a month We like to be on time We can apply the phrase "Bish Bash Bosh" to many everyday occurances such as driving, work etc. Whats the point of taking a lifetime to get changed?

I dont always agree that men are better then women, who else would look after my daughter and iron my work shirts, also i do like breasts, and without them my life would be dull!
I think we need to jot down the benefits of both sexes to make an informed decision. Men:
Women:

Advantage to being a man The ability to not have a fight with our best mates after a couple of drinks, when we fight, we fight with Chavs that are not our friends

Watch out for the chips TT - VERY salty!! Last McDonalds I went to ( Was in the docklands) - Tasted like I was eating soggy strips of paper, coated in salt!! Unfortunatley, As I'm a guy, I couldn't ask for direction to a better place to eat - As that would mean admitting that someone is better than me!! ------------- Vareo - 149 "Secrets" http://www.TandyUKServers.co.uk" rel="nofollow - TandyUK Servers |

Thanks Guys.
Not sure if I'll get 4 minutes worth of speech out of that lot. But you've made my dad laugh. Mum Agrees with BNS. However she does agree you guys are better at the muscular jobs - getting the tops off jars, righting turtled boats (bit of weight helps) and stepping Laser masts in strong winds. - she on the other hand seems to have mastered the art of asking you to do these things... ------------- I don't suffer from insanity...I enjoy every moment of it. |

From your arguments so far I'm not sure I'll be able to convince them that men are the superior sex. ------------- I don't suffer from insanity...I enjoy every moment of it. |

Depends how you present it, surely you could use short videos showing how great we are, what about driving/parking cars. I have loads of pictures of womens mishaps. ------------- |
Posted By: A Seabadger
Date Posted: 16 Feb 07 at 10:40am
Statistically women have less expensive mishaps than men  they're just more frequent. I don't actually know if its true though.
I won't be able to use pictures unfortunately. Although even I find the series of Woman driver photos funny. ------------- I don't suffer from insanity...I enjoy every moment of it. |

Don't fancy you're chances of convincing them and if you use the arguments posted here you may not even get out alive |

I don't have to convince them, its just meant to be a balanced argument. Being female myself I would feel like I'd deluded them all if I did convince them.
As for the arguments on here, I'm being selective ------------- I don't suffer from insanity...I enjoy every moment of it. |

Have you seen the Car race on You tube when the bloke crashes his Renaut Megane after he catches a glimpse of something. You reply would have to read the opposite, men crash because of women.. ------------- |
