Being a girl is tough. We have to shave/wax/pluck practically every inch of our bodies for boys who rarely appreciate it, fit into the tightest clothes and tallest heels, we get paid less and have a harder time climbing the corporate ladder. And on top of that, one day go we will go through the excruciating pain of birthing a bowling ball sized human being. F*ck...this sh*t is exhausting!! And a recent conversation with two of the homies (one a guy, the other a girl) also got me thinking about another way that all the women in the world have it hard. After the demise of a three year relationship I find myself single (and loving it) and the thought of having another boyfriend anytime soon usually results in a stank face or a dry heave from me. So the problem for many ladies like muah becomes whether or not to hook up with random guys and possibly be labeled a "shone" or to enter the dreaded world of relationshipdom...again. Obviously for a guy...the answer is simple...but for us ladies it the sharpest double edged sword. Everyday of my new single life I find it harder and harder to resist the urge to completely ditch the good girl persona...and well be bad...very very bad(You boys make it so easy). I was always the main person to condemn girls who slept around...but what's a girl to do when a having a boyfriend isn't an option. Should we sleep alone every night? Ugh...the thought of that is depressing as hell. Why is it that casual sex for guys is normal...but for girls...it perhaps the worst thing she can do to herself? Guys will condemn her...and so will other girls *guilty face* Maybe that's what being single is about...trying to find a healthy balance between being a complete and total slore and being frigid and miserable. This double standard isn't anything new...but its new to me because I've never had to really deal with it before. Yea...being a girl is tough...but being a good girl is hard as f*ck.
