Lucky that its a man's world.

Few days back i was talking to my new acquittance who is a doctor. Somehow our aimless talk landed on pregnancy issues. And he started explaining what is to be in a labor room and delivering a baby. The whole process is so complicated, so delicate, so dangerous and its kind of horrible (probably not the right word to use but it is ). For the first time i felt lucky to be born as a boy. If i were a girl, i dont know what i would do. Interestingly many girls are ready to get married and give birth to a child 'to prove their womanhood'. Gynecology department is full of ladies, even they get married and give birth to kids.

I think being a girl is less advantageous than being a boy. I was not talking about periods or pregnancy (i am sure they are horrible), i was talking about social issues. I dont have to be conscious about where the person who is talking to me watching. I dont have to be feared to go to unknown places with bunch of guyz boozing in there. My parents wont be terrified if i come late night so one more thing not to bother about. I dont have to tackle the stupid flirting from my lecturers and managers. No eve-teasing. No restrictions on the way i dress. Nobody bothers if i get late night calls. I can drive without fear at mid night. i can give my mobile number to anyone without fearing the boring conversations i have to make later. I dont have to apply make-up. I dont have to face questions about my marriage from my late teenage. I dont have to cover my mouth when i laugh. I can actually laugh out loud. I wont get the weird looks if i dont gossip about others or if i talk normally without baby-talk.. I dont have to say ' i like old hindi songs'. I will be received as a normal person even if i am not a fan of sydney sheldon. Basically its a Man's world, and i am lucky that i am a man.
