Sperms don't make you better than me.

To those who are offended with the title of this post, I'm SORRY.

I grew up with 4 brothers. As a kid, I was a tomboy. Mom spent hundreds of dollars on fancy party dresses that I never wore. Each time we would want to go out as a family, I would put on my tshirt and jeans. Mom would stop me and tell me to change into one of my many dresses. I missed out on a lot of outings because I was left behind for not listening to mom.

I am 21. I have to ask my parents for permission when I want to cut my hair.

I went to an all girls' school and there was never a single day where I didn't have shorts on under my skirt. Feeling rebellious, I chopped my long hair off and came back from school with hair as short as my brothers'. Parents were none too happy.

I grew up feeling that women were not treated the same way as men. My brothers go out with friends and come back late, I come home a little late and my mobile would be ringing non stop. I wear eye liner, lipgloss and smell good...Parents ask "Who are you going out with?"
My brothers take ages to get ready, come out looking all handsome and smelling like they used a whole bottle of cologne. They exit the front door, no questions asked.

I come back home for holidays and I am expected to do the dishes, laundry, cook etc. I don't mean to sound like a spoilt brat but what's the maid for? I don't mind doing MY dishes and MY laundry and cooking MY own food but don't expect me to cook for my brothers. They are just as capable to do their own stuff.

It's not my fault that on some days, I am easily irritated. It's not my fault I was born with a uterus that bleeds monthly.

I put on a little weight and all the aunties and uncles start gossiping. As if THEIR weight never fluctuated...I wear makeup to a family gathering and suddenly they have all conjured up an imaginary australian white boyfriend.

Why do people have a different standard of nice for girls and boys?

And boys, they don't know what us ladies are worth. They don't treasure our fragile hearts. They forget we lack the testosterones that make THEM insensitive. Stop fooling around with girls, save yourself for the one you're meant to be with. I am sick of hearing about playboys. STI scares would do these playas some good.

I hate boys. I hate that I am treated differently because I don't have sperms. I can do what you do, given practice..except maybe pee standing up.
