We women are serious hypocrites!

I know...my Girl's Night Out rights are about to be revoked. I'm stepping over to the other side for just one minute, and I'm going to pay for it dearly.  Lucky for me, my girlfriends are fairly forgiving (I hope!).

It's the year 2012...the days of women belonging in the kitchen are long gone. We've worked hard to establish our equality, and that is something I'm damn proud of. Just because I work for a construction company doesn't mean I am a secretary...I know as much about building as all of my guys, and more than most of them.

My daughters can practically recite my entire "women must be independent of their men" speech by heart. They've heard it so many times that I'm pretty sure if I ever lost my place and needed help finishing it, they could take right over for me.

I am ALL in favor of women's equality. We should be treated the same. Paid the same. Respected the same.

Or should we?

ohhhhhhhhhhh...here comes the part i'm going to get in trouble for!


As my brother so aptly pointed out this morning in a little silly banter we had going on...us girls want to be treated equal, but only when it's convenient for us.  When it's easier to just be a "girl" we are perfectly happy being the weaker sex!

I can do ANYTHING my husband can do. Unless I need a jar opened...in which case his ass better get over here and open it for me. I mean honestly? I can engineer and design a beautiful room that will withstand hurricane force winds...but I can't open a mother F($)@#$ jar of spaghetti sauce? What is up with that? It's like God's way of saying "hahahaha...you girls keep right on thinking you're equal with your men...now why don't you open up some relish to serve on top of that delicious hot dog...oh, wait, just kidding! You totally can't do that!!"

We also demand that the toilet seat be put down. Why? Why do we get to leave it down, when that's obviously the exact opposite of how our male counterparts need it to be, but yet they have to make sure it's perfectly positioned for us when we go in there?

I am Sherah! I demand to be treated the same as all the guys! "Hey honey, can you grab that 400 pound dresser and move it to the other side of the room for me?"

EQUAL RIGHTS, EQUAL RIGHTS, EQUAL RIGHTS!! Ohh, shoot...there's only one chair, and there's two of us? Ooops...the gentlemanly thing to do would be to let the lady have a seat, now wouldn't it? Bless your heart! =)

Strange noise outside my house in the middle of the night? You can bet your ass that I'm not the one going out there to find out what it is.

Icky spider in my closet? Yeah...I'm not handling that one either.


Now, let me just clarify that I have ZERO intention of changing my ways.  I will continue on being a "feminist"...but only when the toilet does not need to be plunged...in which case, I'm totally cool with being weaker.
