Could these be some of the reasons?!
Your last name stays put. The garage is all yours. Wedding plans take care of themselves. Chocolate is just another snack. You can be President. You can never be pregnant. You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park or NO shirt at all. Car mechanics tell you the truth. The world is your urinal. You never have to drive to another gas station restroom because this one is just too icky. You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt. Same work, more pay. Wrinkles add character. Wedding dress $5000. Tux rental-$ 100. People never stare at your chest when you're talking to them. New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet. One mood all the time. Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat. You know stuff about tanks. A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase. You can open all your own jars.
You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness. If someone forgets to invite you, he or she can still be your friend. Your underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack. Three pairs of shoes are more than enough. You almost never have strap problems in public. You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes. Everything on your face stays its original color. The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades. You only have to shave your face and neck. You can play with toys all your life. One wallet and one pair of shoes in one color for all seasons. You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look. You can "do" your nails with a pocket knife. You have freedom of choice concerning growing a mustache. You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on December 24 in 25 minutes!
And, PLEASE, let's not forget, you aren't visited by "Aunt Flow" once a month!
And, be sure to read my sister Brenda's (pilotswife) comment! Cause she's right on! It's great to be a woman and I wouldn't have it any other way! Aunt Flow or not!

yes, BUT this is why women are happier-We get to change our hair color, we get a new cut whenever we feel like it, we don't have to change tires,fix the toilet or deal with car mechanics. We get to be breath takingly beautiful on OUR wedding day, its OUR wedding day, we sit to pee, we get to give life and experience the baby in our very own bodies, we get to cry at sad movies with no embarassement,we CAN TOO be president, or vice, we are the boss, we can stay home with no stigma, we get to have GIRLFRIENDS, we can talk on the phone for hours, we get to shop every season for something new to wear, we are mothers, aunts, sisters and daughters, We have laugh lines, and stretch marks that show character, we can wear makeup to look better,perfume to smell better.At the bat of an eye, we will have free drinks,become first in line, have a tire changed, a box lifted, and a door open! We are able to savor the taste of chocolate and wine-I love being a woman!

Talk on the phone for hours? Hmmm, when's the last time you and I did that?! I miss you!
And don't forget, a smile can get us out of traffic tickets, too!
