Women...

Gotta love them, but seriously...why do they have to be that way? Now all the girls are probably thinking, "What way?" Luckily, there is no such ambiguity with the men. They all know exactly what I mean.

Now I have been called a sexist pig. I have also been called a pig. I have also been called sexy. I am not sure if any of these sayings were related.

Go ahead and call me whatever you like. I will like it. And while we are talking about likes, let me tell you something I do not like.

I do not like when women are stereotypical. Because of the typical stereotypical woman, I stereotype all women, even the ones that are actually not stereotypical. I hope this is clear to you. Let me give you an example:

99% of women are a lot of fun. This is a stereotype. Also, no one minds if I use this stereotype. If I say women are fun, no one will throw bricks with angry messages through my window. However, what about the other 1%? Are they fun? No, they are not. They derive benefit from the other 99% of women, giving even incredibly un-fun girls a "fun" stereotype.

However, stereotypes are not always so positive. Example:

99% of women are
1. bad with technology,
2. impossible in all mechanical matters, and
3. terrible drivers.

Now in this case, when I go around and talk about the stereotypical female, the 1% that do not fit the stereotype become incredibly furious. To the point that they use their technological prowess to hang me upside down from a tree with a pulley and beat me with sticks while yelling "pinata!"

Now that isn't very nice. So I pose a question: Why don't they want to be part of the majority? The reason: These girls are the very same as the 1% of girls that are un-fun.

Everyone wants to be in the stereotype when it benefits them, right? Well you can't eat donuts without getting fat.

I dislike how I am forced to watch my back when using stereotypes. If I am a sexist, I'll be a sexy one! If I'm a pig, I'll wallow in the mire! If you are stereotypical, don't expect to be addressed as if you were something unique.

And to conclude: If you are this girl, Heaven help you:
