Honestly, how the hell did this even start? We hear it every day. Everyone has some version of it.
“Wow, don’t be such a pussy,” or “Sorry, don’t know why I’m such a pussy when it comes to [insert difficult situation or activity here].”
Correct me if I’m wrong, but women bleed out their parts for a week every month and are capable of shoving an entire human out of themselves, yet somehow, along the line, we were all like, “Yeah, they’re lesser than; they’re weaker.” I don’t see men doing any bodily-extraordinary feats on the reg!
But let’s get down to brass tacks. How many times—no seriously, how many times have you come across a male who gets like one inch of hair waxed and acts like they’re being stabbed to death? I hate giving into gender norms and labels, but typically you see female-identifying people getting waxed more often, and they take it like champs. Now let’s compare that to giving birth, and you basically make my case for me. How did this come to be?
*Cracks knuckles, stretches neck* Well, folx, it all comes down to some flaming hot male privilege. Should I stop myself before I sound like that woman? Maybe, but I do kind of have a point. Let’s face it; in that one episode of Friends, Joey goes to get his eyebrows waxed and only gets one done because he’s in so much pain. He ends up looking ridiculous and Chandler has to pluck the other one to even them out.
Would that happen to Meryl Streep? To Michelle Obama? Even to Miley Cyrus? No! Because they are women. Hear them roar. Or, actually, you won’t hear them roar, you’ll just be wowed by their complete strong silence as that hair is ripped from their body. Bad bitches, am I right?
