snippet from A very annoyed rant
A very annoyed rant
I will preface this rant with a few rants
1) I am a female
3) I realize most of the internet is sexist towards female stereotypes...basically the internet is one giant beer commercial
4) I am mostly apathetic to this
5) I read the list 'Why guys are so cool...' and got pissed

Now in sentence form. I am a girl whose entire friend group consists of males. I have very little patience and trust when it comes to my own gender. I am a girl who hates other girls, and I am okay with that. But seriously, shit like this list I'm about to post pisses me off because it doesn't list why guys are awesome, it lists why guys are amazing and girls suck. I'm not saying my own gender doesn't do this kind of thing because God knows we do, I'm just saying that the internet is geared way more to the favor of guys than it is girls. So I found this list called "Why guys are so cool..", but all it does is make digs at stereotypes assigned to mostly women. I'm sure the little twerp who wrote this is just insecure and his only way of expressing it is through the anonymity of the internet, but that doesn't give him any right to write things like this. These things can be very damaging. I like women jokes just as much as the next person, but I don't like the rampant spreading of female stereotypes which some if not most guys believe or are led to believe while thinking they are the shit because every movie and commercial geared towards them tell them so. I have been the victim of a guy getting really angry at me because he liked me and I didn't like him. He called me a tease and a slut, because his life wasn't going like every buddy comedy/action flick in which he gets the girl regardless told him it would. Not. My. Fault. I had to accept the fact that life wasn't going to be a Disney film after my first kiss at age 12. Grow some balls and suck it the fuck up. Anyways I'm going to post this list and then respond to each in a fit manner:

1)Phone Conversations are over in 30 seconds flat.
Really? You mean having in depth conversations to see if a friend is doing all right or having any problems they need to talk about is considered somehow wrong or stupid? Empathy is stupid? Fuck you.
2) You know stuff about tanks.
What does this have to do with anything?
3) A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase.
All right, that's fair. Girls generally have to pack more things, but our things are also bulkier, and I'm a very indecisive person so I like options. There are definitely women who seemingly take everything they own for a weekend trip, but those women are few and far between. Fuck you.
4)You can open all your own jars.
Yeah, I've lived in an apartment with all girls, and do you know who they went to to open their jars? This vagina right here. Fuck you.
5) Dry cleaners and hair cutters don't rob you blind.
Well I've never dealt with a dry cleaner, but my brother definitely has way more dry clean only clothes than I do. Hair salons on the other hand...well here is something you may not have thought of before. We different genders have different gender-assigned hairstyles in which women tend to have longer hair than men. That means we have to take care of our hair more. And that means if we only shampooed our hair and walked out of the house, our hair would be dry and ratty. If you want long hair, you have to take care of it like you would your body. If you want a nice body you have to work for it. Simple. Does this mean we have to pay more? Yes. Also long hair gives us different styles to choose from which translates to more maintenance, and last I checked guys are not that upset when a pretty girl walks up and starts talking to them. Do you know pretty means maintenance, high or low, there will always be care going towards our long, beautiful and healthy hair. Fuck you.
6)You can go to the bathroom without a support group.
Do you know why we go to the bathroom together? To talk about you and if you're nice or a cock sucker. It's also the best way to plan an escape route so we don't have to deal with you anymore. Fuck you.
7) You don't have to learn to spell a new last name.
This really isn't our fault, and I know women who kept their last name after marriage. Besides, spelling is that hard and this entry in general isn't that big of a deal unless the woman reading this is a super feminist. Honestly, this hardly renders a "Fuck you"
8) You can leave the motel bed unmade.
I've never ever heard of anyone making a motel bed, ever.
9) You can kill your own food.
I'm from motherfucking Georgia. While, I've personally never gone hunting, it is a HUGE sport to be shared between fathers and daughters a like. We aren't all helpless damsels who can't survive without the big strong man to come and kill our food for us. Fuck you.
10) You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness.
I wouldn't call it extra credit, but appreciation. That's not a bad thing, and if the guy is too much of a dick to never appreciate anything thoughtful his girlfriend does for him then he is going to get his ass dumped sooner rather than later. Fuck you.
11) Wedding plans take care of themselves.
Regardless of what reality television has you to believe, the wedding is not all about the bride. If anything it's about making sure your family and friends have a good time and enjoy themselves while they watch two people they care about commit to each other for life (allegedly). Here's something to ponder, as well. Marriage is a partnership, and it's about give and take. Planning the wedding is the first test of that. If the groom is too lazy or just doesn't care enough to want to be apart of the wedding planning, leaving it all to the bride, then he better get ready for a long ass life of having his soon to be wife making ALL of your decisions for him. That is on him, my friend. Fuck you.
12) If someone forgets to invite you to something, he or she can still be your friend.
That would have been a shitty friendship to begin with if it's survival depends on something as vapid and clear cut as forgetting to invite you something. Both genders are guilty of those kinds of relationships and they are not friendships. Fuck you.
13) Your underwear is $10 for a three-pack.
Ours is too...actually depending on the right time we can get nice (not WalMart brand) underwear for 5 for $25, which isn't a bad deal. Also men generally don't have to worry about their underwear showing through their clothing, and so please harp on us for caring how we present ourselves. Fuck you.
14) If you are 34 and single, nobody notices.
This is because most people want to have families. I say most people, because I am not one of them. It gets dangerous and complications become more prevalent if a woman has a child after age 40. It takes time to build a relationship into a marriage and then to become ready to really start a family. So yeah, at age 34 the red flags start to raise a bit, but that's more biological than social. Men on the other hand can produce kids until the day they die (unless they are shooting blanks), so age doesn't really matter when it comes to reproduction...unless you know the father wants to be around for his kid's graduation or throw a baseball with out risking throwing out his back. So women need to reproduce within a window of time that is made up of a mixture of societal and biological facts. I personally think it's way cooler that a woman gets to carry her child and would take that over being able to reproduce and knock a girl up at the age of 80. Science! Fuck you.
15) Everything on your face stays its original color.
I don't wear make up and I get a lot of male attention. So no, not all girls use make up like it's water, and most only use it to enhance their features rather than to create a new face. I also know a lot of guys who looked much better looking after they put on foundation [for a play]. Fuck you.
16) You can quietly enjoy a car ride from the passenger's seat.
Wow, I didn't know that communication was such a horrible thing. I thought it was a way for someone to show they care enough to ask how the person is or joke or talk about anything. I can appreciate silence just as well as the next person, but I would rather be joking around with a friend, maybe that's just because of all of the estrogen in my body...Fuck you.
17) Three pairs of shoes are more than enough.
This is a case of perspective. I like options, so having more than three shoes is nice even if I usually stick to the same flip flops, sperry's, and boots (during the winter) on a daily basis. Fuck you.
18) You don't have to clean your apartment if the meter reader is coming.
Excuse me for having pride and standards in the place I inhabit. I hardly doubt that that is gender-related Fuck you.
19) Car mechanics tell you the truth.
Really? Because I taught automechanics in a highschool for a semester, my grandfather owns a body shop that caters exclusively to BMWs, and I can do most basic car chores unsupervised, so I think I know when I'm getting bullshitted by a mechanic. My brother on the other hand is a total sucker and can barely check his oil level without resorting to the car manual. Fuck you.
20) You can quietly watch a game with your buddy for hours without ever thinking: "He must be mad at me."
Yeah, girls really suck at relationships and are so insecure that we actively look for reasons why our significant other is angry at us. Sure, there are girls who are like that, but those tend to be relationships riddled with problems and toxic in nature. Trust is something that is earned, not given, and it takes time. It also takes time to learn how a person's body language works and what their ticks are, so yeah, we might be sensitive in the beginning of a relationship, but it's better to care a little bit too much than to not care at all. Fuck you.
21) Same work...more pay.
See at first, I thought this was super unfair. Well, I still do, but I also I realize, as a girl, I don't have to pay for as much stuff as guys do. First dates are usually the guy's responsibility to pay for, and there is usually little obligation to go on a second one. I get free drinks all the time and all I have to do is talk to a guy I have no interest in for five minutes. I get free shit at the Apple store ALL of the time because I mastered the resting my boobs on the Genius bar. I've also had teachers and TAs give me special treatment based on my looks or an aspect of my personality, or a shared experience, and I am totally okay with that because I realize that's how the real world works. So yeah, you might make more money, but you also pay for all of my stuff. Fuck you.
22) Gray hair and wrinkles only add character.
Three words: Helen Mirren Bikini.
23) Wedding dress - $2,000. Tuxedo rental - 75 bucks.
Bride: "You look gorgeous" Groom: "How did you find such a gorgeous wife?" Fuck you.
24) You don't mooch off other's desserts.
See #19. And yes, guys totally do mooch off of other's desserts. They are delicious. Fuck you.
25) You can drop by to see a friend without having to bring a little gift.
Yeah, I've never felt the need to do this unless I'm visiting family friends on my own and even then my parents usually drop a few bucks in my bank account for a Trader Joe's bouquet. At most it's 5 bucks and it's a nice gesture.
26) If another guy shows up at the party in the same outfit, you just might become lifelong friends.
This is more insecurity than a female thing, but women are definitely more prone to acting out due to something as petty as this. For me personally, however, if a girl was awesome enough to wear the same outfit as me I would totally compliment the hell on her awesome fashion sense. Fuck you
27) Your pals can be trusted never to trap you with. "So, notice anything different?"
Girls I've been friends with in the past 99% of the time compliment my new hair cut before I even say anything. Hell, girls I wasn't friends do that too. Do I expect the same out of my guy friends? Some, yes, but that's only if they have done it before. Different standards for different people not genders. Fuck you.
28) You are not expected to know the names of more than five colors.
Tom Haverford. Fuck you.
29) You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt.
Lefty loosey, Righty tighty. Did I just blow your fucking mind, because my mom taught me that one as we built add ons to my treehouse. Fuck you.
30) You almost never have strap problems in public.
That is true, men don't have that problem...but then again I don't have to worry about accidentally getting my genitals caught in my zipper...so trade offs, I suppose. Fuck you.
31) You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes.
Wow, I'm starting to sense a theme and this is starting to show how much guys actually suck. If all guys don't take pride in their appearance than that says a lot more about your gender than mine.
32) The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades.
Again, longer hair = more options. Besides ALL of my guy friends have changed hairstyles at least once since freshman year of college (We're in our third year now).
33) You don't have to shave below your neck.
Actually depends on your job...but I do have to give y'all this one. You do not have to shave nearly as many areas as women tend to have to. On the other hand I'm over 18 and don't have a draft card. Again, trade offs.
34) At least a few belches are expected and tolerated.
I burp loud and proud among friendly peers and my family. When I'm in public I keep my mouth closed and my hand over my mouth and I say excuse me, like any self-respecting and polite human being. I'm sorry but I don't see anyone tolerating loud burps in business meetings, nice dinners with family friends, or you know, anywhere in public, unless, regardless of gender, that person wants others think they are a gross neanderthal who should not be allowed outside in the day time. Fuck you.
35) Your belly usually hides your big hips.
Oh wow. I officially hate the person who wrote this list. Do you know why your mother has big hips? So she could carry your ass around for nine months and successfully push you out of her vagina without dying. Science. That's a much better reason than because you decided to eat more and work out less. Besides I know a lot of guys who appreciate curvy hips and not a lot of girls who appreciate big bellies. Our hips are sexy, your belly is gross. Fuck you.
Note: I'm not saying that this reason extends to all women. Some women are overweight as well, I am just addressing the main reason women tend to have larger hips.
36) One wallet and one pair of shoes, one color, all seasons.
I'm pretty sure this one has been brought up multiple times. So I'm just going straight for the "Fuck you" and add in a nice subtle "you lazy ass."
37) You can "do" your nails with a pocketknife.
Did you know it's actually healthy and good for you to get a manicure and pedicure once a month? Sure it may not be stereotypically "manly" but it feels really nice and looks really nice, too. That alone is reason enough to not be ashamed of taking care of your body.
38) You have freedom of choice concerning growing a mustache.
Yeah you have that freedom of choice, we have the freedom of choice on whether or not to keep the baby. Those pesky pesky trade-offs. (I'm not doing a "fuck you" on this one because I don't think this one is that relevant.)
39) Christmas shopping can be accomplished for 25 relatives, on December 24th, in 45 minutes.
What did you do? Buy them all gift cards and ties? You know Christmas really isn't supposed to be about the shit you get (although that is a nice plus) it's about showing people you care, and putting thought behind that gift is wayyyyy better than getting it done quicker. So yeah, it may take longer to do Christmas shopping, but at least the person I'm buying it for will know I care about them enough to think about what they would really like for Christmas. That's not being a girl, that's being a decent human being. Fuck you.
