Small Metaquotes wank, for your Friday, er, pleasure
Ah, metaquotes, provider of sometimes amusing quotes and your general exploding comments of wankery!

Today's winner is 'The Advantages of being a Sweet Young Female' (Danger, Will Robinson, danger!), where we learn, well, the advantages of being a sweet young female, which include the spectacular bonus of being able to blame things on one's period (yay!) and being able to get anything by asking daddy, among other such enlightened joys of femalehood.

(in no order...just as I think them)
1. All bus drivers will let you on their bus (even if they make you cry in the process)
2. You can cry to get what you want
3. You can blag your way into almost any night club. Anywhere.

4. We all know buying a matching bra and knickers is the greatest form of therapy

5. You don't have to pay for dates

6. If you are cranky you can blame it on your period

7. If you don't want to have sex you can blame it on your period

8. If you dont want to do gym you can blame it in your period
(can we see a theme here people...)

9. Because we are the 'weaker sex' we don't have to build anything/worry about DIY

10. The words 'but daddy.....' can get you EVERYTHING

11. Flashing a bit of flesh now and then can also get you pretty much anything (except with your daddy...use tactic suggested in number 10)

12. We know how to let men THINK they have the upper hand when really WE are calling ALL the shots

13. You can crush on a guy OR girl and not be embarassed about it

14. We SO have a better choice of fashion and accessories to chose from than guys

15. We can ask for directions and save ourselves hours of wasted time

16. We can order more than just a beer at a bar without being called a pansy

17. Women have a secret language read in each others guys taht will leave guys forever asking 'what - what are you doing? tell me what your thinking...you can't do that..that's not fair!'

18. We can be friends with fags without having to question our sexuality

19. We can cry at movies with out questioning our sexuality

20. Our sexaul organs don't cause us embarssment when sexually aroused in public places"

Gosh, sucks when your "sexaul organs... cause embarssment," doesn't it? Is any variation on "embarrassed" spelled correctly in this?

Predictably, this dissolves into your usual, "This isn't new, we've heard it before," not to mention smackdowns, a semi-related commentary on lesbians, and, well, go see for yourself. It can only get more special from here!

(was in f_w, but probably more belongs here, sorry!)

	I was there before it was wanked, and participated. I think that's a first. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Congrats, I think! ;) I was surprised that I got to reporting it first. I sort of stared at the list in amused horror when it was first posted, just knowing it was all going to end so very badly. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	As a rather sour, miserable young female, almost none of this applies to me. For the record, I should just say that I have never blamed anything on my period unless my period was the honest cause. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	The only thing I've ever blamed on my period karmakaze 2005-05-21 04:32 pm UTC (link)
	The only think I've ever blamed on my period is the half pound "water weight" gain... (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I become a royal bitch during my period, but I recognize that that's a manifestation of a larger personality flaw- I become a royal bitch whenever I'm physically uncomfortable. People! It's called taking responsibility! (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I've exaggerated the severity of cramps to get sent home from school early, but that was it. I don't like people blaming moods on periods- that just reinforces the sterotype that we're all evil shrews and monster bitches. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	When I first started reading this list, I assumed it was written by some stereotypical mysogynist college boy. "Oh, you pretty young things have it sooooo easy, blah blah blah, sleep your way to the top, blah blah..." And then halfway through the list, I realized that it was written by a young woman. headdesk (Reply to this)(Thread)
