Why are you glad to be a MAN?

[Taverner]

Well for me it has to be

1 - Ability to develop pectoral muscles
2 - Peeing standing up
3 - Never having to say your sorry or ask for directions
4 - X Chromosomes give ya quite a rush!
5 - Testosterone...anything else quite like it?


I can think of more,,,,but your turn

[Mattforclark]

1. I can't legally get an abortion

[SarahB]

2. What's up with the Toomey thing?

Isn't he an ultra-conservative running against Arlin Spector?

[Mattforclark]

4. Yes

and if he beats Specter, he will lose against Joe Hoeffel. :)

[SarahB]

5. I hope you're right

:scared:

[Mattforclark]

6. Me too...

:evilgrin:

[Burma Jones]

3. For Me

1 - The breaks we get from American Society
2 - The ability to physically intimidate when necessary
3 - I'm Daddy
4 - I get better looking as I get older
5 - Instant Techie Credibility (subset of #1)


BONUS - Innate hatred of Gilbert and Sullivan

7. Its all I've ever known

So I really cant compare. But I like it so far.

[Guaranteed]

8. I like having a penis.

It's fun, and convenient.

[Mattforclark]

9. Not if it explodes...

Or if a duck eats it.



I am so

scared

of that

[Guaranteed]

10. That's true.

Having an extra appendage to take care of is a fair amount of trouble. Gotta make sure you're not slamming it in things and such.

On edit: But, you know I think the benefits outweigh the detriments. :)

11. Ducks eating penises?

I'm more worried of a squirrel running off with mine in the middle of the night.

[Mattforclark]

13. yeah

"Bangkok police captain Samphan Panitphan went on a drinking binge with his buddies last weekend, reports Saturday's Daily Record. Returning home to his suspicious wife Sudjai, 28, he collapsed in a stupor.

His unconscious body presented an irresistible target to Sudjai, who carved out some vengeance for his recent affairs. She cut off his penis!

Removing the devious dicks of wandering husbands is becoming almost as common in Thailand as carving up coconuts. The slashing wives' habit is euphemistically referred to as "tat lieng pet" (feeding the duck) due to an incident in which the offending organ was tossed into a yard where a passing duck ate it."


On second thought, maybe I shouldn't be posting this. I wouldn't want to give anyone ideas...

[Taverner]

14. Very scary...

And to think I lived in Thailand for 3 years and never knew that risk...

[Mattforclark]

15. I read about it in Time a few years ago

and I just can't forget it. It's the stuff nightmares are made of. :scared:

[Guaranteed]

16. Somebody just sat there and watched

while the duck ate it? That is BRUTAL!

[ForrestGump]

12. Women

Of course, that's been a mixed blessing thus far, but when it's good, it's good.

Or so I've heard :D

[DrWeird]

17. That whole menstruation/menopause deal...

It sounds like a pain in the ass. So to speak.

[Mattforclark]

18. You notice how the "why are you glad to be a MAN" thread has twice as many

posts as the "why are you glad to be a WOMAN" thread?

[ForrestGump]

19. Come. We go beat drums in the forest.

[leftistagitator]

20. 1 No babies popping out of me

2 Good side of double standard involving promiscuous sex
3 Respect of misogynists everywhere
4 Ability to check toilet seat position BEFORE sitting on it
5 No glass ceiling to hit
6 The Penis Song
Isn't it awfully nice to have a penis!
