What Were We Thinking?

Women. What were we thinking?

Sure, we're just as good (if not way better than) men, but why couldn't we just realize our good fortune and take it as it was.

It used to be that all women had to worry about was looking pretty. Their husbands took care of them and workers were hired to take care of the household. What were the women of the past thinking? Did they not enjoy the perks of being female?

I mean, I would never want to be treated as if I was born male. Why would I want to give up the luxuries that I was born having with a life in which I would actually have to work to obtain semi-comfort?

I would have been perfectly satisfied with having to not worry about anything except whether I was having a bad hair day and whether my dress was as pretty as the next girl's. There is no doubt in my mind that the money my lovely husband brought home would have been put to good use (shoes!). I could have had money and the time to spend it.

But nope. My fellow females decided that they wanted a say in the world, throwing away the birth-rights that made life oh-so-very-comfortable

So, here I am, the modern day female, getting wrinkly way before my time thanks to scarily long college applications and the existence of problems above the everyday nuisances.

GAH.
