Why It’s Great To Be A Girl?

Jacqueline Shannon, a San Diego–based journalist and author, wrote a book a few years ago titled Why It’s Great To Be A Girl – 50 Awesome Reasons why We Rule!

I list 18 of them here with some “elaborations”. What do you think?

1. Girls sing better than guys do (happier?)
2. Girls are better with language and nonverbal communication (that’s why we are not good at keeping secrets?)
3. Girls hear better than boys (don’t badmouth behind us)
4. Women smell better than men (is this why mosquitoes like us too?)
5. Females have a better sense of taste (that doesn’t mean we have to cook most of the time at home)
6. Women don’t have to shave their faces (so we can spend the time to put on makeup)
7. Women rarely go bald (it does pay to keep longer hire)
8. Girls have superior fine motor skills and manual dexterity (as long as we are not pregnant)
9. Only women can give birth (that’s why you are here)
10. Females aren’t as sensitive to cold weather and stay cooler in the summer (Energy Star certified)
11. Except for muscles, the female body is stronger than the male body in every way (that’s why we do most of the house work?)
12. Girls get fewer viral and bacterial illnesses than boys do (guys, clean is the key!)
13. Doctors agree that females bear physical pain far better than males do (that does not mean that we enjoy it – so no waterboarding, please)
14. Women are especially well suited to be doctors (that’s why people cry for mommy whey they are very sick?)
15. Overall, women are safer drive than men (if we don’t share the same road with men, our insurance premium should be much lower)
16. Girls and women commit far fewer crimes than boys and men (we don’t want to be victims either)
17. The friendships between girls and women are richer, deeper, stronger, more intimate, and more affectionate than those between guys (don’t be jealous, because friend starts with a F not a M)
18. Women actually behave much better than men when it comes to truly frightening situations (surprise, tough guy)
