Men Have It So Easy

I sometimes wonder if men appreciate how easy they have it in life? A man can get up in the morning, have a shower and shave (or not) throw on some comfortables clothes - and shoes - and be on his way. There is nothing to pinch or bind or itch any part of his body. Women on the other hand....

Yesterday I went through the ordeal of buying a new bra. I always dread it so much, I wear all mine until they are almost threadbare and don't provide any support whatsoever. It takes a good while for them to become comfortable.

*sigh*

Brassieres were designed by men. The first brassieres were designed to hide women's assets, and eventually brassieres progressed until they became designed to enhance them. Neither type are comfortable.

The list of things women wear to "enhance" their beauty is long and painful.

1. Stilletto heels. Every woman has owned a pair of shoes that reduces her to tears every time she wears them.

2. Mascara. I can't count how many days I have gone through the day with a flake of mascara stuck underneath my eyelid all day.

3. Lipstick. Did you know pearl lipstick is given that silvery sheen by using fish scales? Yes.

4. Skin moisturizers. The material used in moisturizers to create a smoother skin surface and retain moisture comes from cattle or pig brains.

5. Waxing. Enough said.

So, now I have to rush off and get ready for work. I will have my shower, wash my hair, dry my hair with the blow dryer, moisturize my skin, put on my makeup, strap on a very uncomfortable new bra and try to find a pair of shoes that I can actually wear all day and still stand up at the end of the day.

Gosh, you fellows have it so easy.
