Us women have all done what we can to show that women can be proud and true and that they can do anything a man can - even pee standing up, although we're happy to admit men do that a lot better. Yes, life would be so, so much easier if women could pee standing up. Sadly, we just don’t have the equipment required. We’ve often pondered the benefits at times like lining up for porta' loos at music festivals or making friends while waiting to use the facilities at international airports.

How things have changed. Yup, there has never been a better time to be a man than now. You get to be sensitive. Express your emotions. You don’t have to pay for dates or ask girls out. There are also many other manly advantages we ladies would be happy to have -- but we don’t, for no other reason than not having a…

But at the end of the day, my darlings, you're the captain of your own life - so never give up the ship to ANY sailor... no matter how cute he may be! xx
