& What about the Men?

My cousin had posted a status on Facebook talking about how women need to be appreciated.

Now don't get me wrong, I believe that women should be appreciated and all that jazz.
But at the same time, I get annoyed with all the women on Facebook talking about how they should be appreciated because they have to go through their periods, give birth, do this, and do that.

I guess ever since I took my Gender Psychology class, I became a changed person. It allowed me to see that although granted, women do live with a double-edged sword stuck in their sides...they tend to take all their frustrations out on men who have absolutely nothing to do with it. The only reason why society is the way it is today is because we allowed it to become that way.

I'm sorry, but the whole "I should be appreciated because I give birth" line is OLD and PLAYED OUT. Yes, we have the wonderful gift of giving birth to another human being. That shouldn't be used as a way to "get kudos points". Unfortunately, that's how most girls see it. Half the time, most girls who pull of this line haven't even given birth yet...Uhh, the statement becomes invalid in my eyes because how are you complaining about something you haven't even gone through?

And granted, giving birth may SUCK...but at the same time, a girl doesn't have to go through with it. If you really can't deal with the pains of carrying the little bugger for 9 months & the Hell of birthing it, get a surrogate. Adopt. There are other options out there. Giving birth was a decision that BOTH of you made, and to say that you should be appreciated more because the both of you came to a decision is kinda unfair. Not to mention that at the end of the day the WOMAN has the say on if she wants to birth the child or not....yeah.


I also feel like men have certain things they have to deal with that just plain sucks. For one, I think it's unfair that guys have go to war if there's ever a need for them...no choice intended.
I guess what I mean to say is...granted, women live with that double edged sword....they also are entitled to more choices.

Guys on the other hand...not so much. But maybe that's just me.

I'm not trying to say I hate women. I'm not trying to be a woman basher. By golly, I love my women as much as I love my men ! (No, I don't mean it in a bisexual way -____-;) But still.

What about the men that DO appreciate women? Where's their "thank you"? I'm sorry, but women have the horrible tendency to judge the mass because of the few.

Again, I'm not trying to say women are horrible beings....I'm a woman myself. But I wanna be able to talk for the many men who can't have a say, because they're always told "well you have it easy".
