10 Reasons Why Men Envy Women

A few reasons why men should envy women.

  1. Diamonds are made and sold solely for ladies we love. The closest a man can get is to be a diamond cutter or a salesman in a jewellery shop.
  2. Odes, sonnets, poems and prose – women have it all dedicated to them and their beauty
  3. Women have the power to give birth and create life, men just get to stand by and watch
  4. Wife, daughter, mother. Women play any role thrown at them with seemingly effortless ease. Men find it difficult to manage themselves, let alone anything outside there sphere of existence.
  5. Funky designer clothes, bling jewellery, and snazzy peep-toes – the list can stretch a mile when it comes to style options for women. Men, despite the rebellious metrosexuals, have a Spartan collection that doesn’t stand muster.
  6. Men look at women and women look at women
  7. When it comes to commitment, women chalk up the points. Men either have a roving eye, dither about getting into a relationship or just fail miserably when it comes to saying “I Do”.
  8. Women intrude on a man’s ME time and get away with it without being the least apologetic. Imagine the fate of a man who is brave enough to try the same thing.
  9. No one thinks of a flower when it comes to men. The closest a man can get is to be associated with a cauliflower.
  10. Men are known to be better cooks, at last a score against women. But technically men still lose out, serving their women a grandiose meal while they watch a cricket match they had been planning to catch.

    I think this is just superficial for men. They doesn’t envy material things. They always want accomplishments. One thing I envy about men is that they can achieve what they pursue without gender discrimination.

    A few counterpoints:

    1. There is a very sexist argument about why diamonds are for women that i probably shouldn’t go into. Safe to say, there is a historical reason for this that is better left unsaid.

    2. Another historical argument. It was not socially acceptable for women to pursue literary endeavours until recently. Therefore all the more known literary works have been written by men for women.

    3. No real man stands around while his wife/gf/partner goes through pregnancy. And unless you’ve evolved and want to tell us about it, fetus’ don’t just appear.

    4. As women were seen as the caretakers of the home,in need of protection, and emotional, so too were men seen as providers, strong and unemotional. Where women have broken these stereotypes and adapted, men may not have done so. Maybe we should have a pro-masculinity protest?

    5. Don’t tell usher that, but mostly true.

    6. You live on mars? No? I’m not positive, but i believe the majority of females are straight. They’re just more discreet than guys when looking.

    7. Yep, 100% of men fall into those categories…..um, how many marriages have you been in?

    8. Not sure about this one, i wouldn’t say men envy women this, but they certainly get annoyed when a women invades their ME time. Unless of course they love the woman, in which case it shouldn’t matter. Can’t say i’d see a reason to invade a woman’s ME time, so no, no envy there.

    9. Yeah, the first thing on my wishlist is a flower. When you send the flowers, make sure you send a card with a poem written on it.

    10. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. I do envy a woman her cricket matches….Actually, I’d rather do just about anything else. Anyways, not sure you could call men better cooks than women. Was that an attempt to show neutrality? ha

    You and Jerry Rui should hook up. Once you stop oogling each other, you could write a book on how the world would be better off without men:)

    A few counterpoints for Rubin.

    1. Regardless of the historical view of what males intended, diamonds generally symbolize strength that can cut through glass. The same way a woman can cut through a man’s “tough” exterior. Nevermind the flawed views of our ancestors. They were severely uneducated, in either case. So yes, I’m glad you didn’t get into that.

    2. Ah, indeed, but even before that history, there was an even greater reason why men didn’t allow women to read or pursue such things. Mind you, another faulty mistake based mainly on the insecurities of men.

    3. “No real man stands around while his wife/gf/partner goes through pregnancy.” That’s a subjective statement. Too ignorant for me to even respond to properly. Fetuses don’t appear, but the fetus is a transformation of what a woman made your useless sperm into. We can always trade men in for gods, you know, according to history ;) (if you’re going to be crappy about it, I mean. hah!)

    4. Maybe not. Men made the error of honoring mindless brutality, which they called “masculinity” instead of grace and esoteric wisdom that is mainly femininity. There is no balance. And now men must suffer the women who can’t appreciate their essence of femininity since, according to the delusion, the only way to power is by being a mindless brute (masculine) heh, enjoy the feminazis, love!

    5. …..Eh, things aren’t true just because your opinion makes them so. lol! are you from a more primitive century?

    6. Women still admire the beauty of women. in fact, historically, it seems the only way women can be interested in men is if you take our dignity, self esteem and self value and treat them like dogs, then they’ll feel worthy enough to turn to a man. ‘lawl’

    7. Your sarcastic question is irrelevant. But your hostility conceals something deeper that makes me chuckle!

    8. I’m the kind of woman who has men crawling at her feet (I mean this almost literally, mind you!) so the only one that I can say invades the “me” time.. is them. Women who nag and smother suffer from self esteem problems.. lol you’d better raise your standards, mate.

    9. If you can’t appreciate nature, you fail and miss a hidden value to life. Can’t take you seriously, mate. Too shallow-minded.

    10. My best friend David is a better cook than I am. He seems to love it, while I hate to cook, myself. Man, did your theory drown in a matter of seconds.

    You should isolate yourself from humanity. I fear your ignorance might be contageous, but then after admiring your penis for many hours, you can be inspired to write another Holy Bible! :D

    #3 speaking of fetuses, did you know that reason why you have nipples if because you were once a female, Robin? I wouldn’t be so smug about that penis if I were you… it’s really an inverted vagina. In poetic terms, you’re a broken woman! xD Get over yourself… rofl

    I am a heterosexual female,but I envy men.Everything is so easy for men.You guys don’t have periods,you dont have to suffer through having a baby or being pregnant,you don’t have to worry about getting pregnant,you guys can’t get raped,nobody looks down on you for being a man but people always look down on women,sex for the first time is not painfull for men the way it is for women,it’s harder for men to get HIV,when going through puberty womens hips get widder and we get periods,we get boobs and have to ware annoying bras,men don’t have to worry about fashion you can just wear jeans and a t shirt and you look great but girls have to always look nice and wear frilly clothes and dresses even when it’s cold.Men can get someone pregnant and leave but women can’t do that,women have more resposibility when raising children than men,and last but not least men don’t have to go through menopause.I sware men don’t have to deal with anything but women have to suffer with everything. You guys are so lucky.

    Queen Ariana’s post made absolutely no sense. I could go through it point by point like she took the time too however i think i can sum up her ignorance quite succinctly. There is a difference between hardness, and toughness. If you weren’t an ignorant fool, you might know that. Try reading a science book for once in your life. Oh right, you probably wont because it was written by a man. And because it’s hard…
