gender inequality

i was thinking today about how expensive it is to be a girl. it literally is far less expensive to have a y-chromosome. for one thing, society compells us to wear makeup to be aesthetically pleasing, and as the material girls that every single one of us secretly is, we comply, and buy out the whole line of sephora merchandise. and jewelery! engagement/wedding rings (seriously?? 2??) earrings (i have 6 holes...it add$ up) necklaces, bracelets...it just goes on. and any other beauty regiments that many women get on a weekly basis... manicures? facials? massages? jesus christ. we also have to have nice hair cuts. high lights used to be popular. and even just the things we use to mask said haircut? hair elastics? headbands? barrettes?

and what about biology? periods? do men have to purchase wads of cotton with a plastic applicator to stick up their penis' to stop the flow of blood once a month? no. or buy various medications/chocolate to placate thier erratic mood swings during said time of the month? no, but they should anyways.

driving me CRACY.






......what do hermaphrodites do? i was just thinking about whether or not they get their periods...
true hermaphroditism doens't exist in humans, but if it did? that would be weird. what if you gave birth to one? would you give it a gender neutral name?

hahahahaha.

i need to do homework. by the end of the night i'll probably be fluent in french i'll have been studying it for so long.

yo mannnn

as i read this, i peeled the fake eyelashes from my lids, thus reminding me that not only is it expensive, but it is also painful as well.

and p.s. i think the boys pay for both the engagement and wedding rings. if not, then HUGE GYP OF LIFE.

love you, call me tmrw.
