As Elvis says: “Love me tender.”
As you might already know, two weeks ago, the 8th of March, was International Women’s Day. Well, first of all I would like to give thanks to the person who came up with such a day; otherwise, the fact that the other 364 days of the year belong to guys would not earn such official recognition! I know this sounds mean, but if women claim that they are equal in certain issues, they should not come up with “celebration days” that seem to say: “Ok, we are not actually equal, but we do need attention, remembrance, love, tenderness, shopping, and Ally McBeal!”.
I can hear some guys saying they are familiar with the last sentence, since they get to hear something similar everyday: “You didn’t call! Where were you? You don't love me!”. In fact, those are the same guys who are sure that Valentine’s Day was also a female invention. No one thinks about those poor guys. They want equality, too, because they don’t have as powerful weapons as girls do! Take the mass destruction weapons of “whining” and “staying silent” for instance, which could kill you, or at least leave you in your 20’s with white hair!
I think the greatest virtue that females have is to know exactly when to whine (talking for infinite hours to get you to do something) or staying silent (not talking to you at all for infinite hours to get you do something). When you see how it works with a couple of females - including your mom and sister - you can’t stop thinking that all women went to a special school to learn this technique.
Guys could also create a day to form a union against this kind of a threat, but there are two reasons against that. First, we don't want to lose our 364-1 advantage, and second, the tragedy has to be faced everyday, not only in a single 24 hour period! God bless women.
