Women Rule The World
What evidence is there that women rule the world? Take a look at the world now and ask yourself how different it would be if men were REALLY in charge. Think about what men want, and whether the world provides them or limits them. Of course, logically, if men ruled the world, the world should be organised to give them what they want. And is it? See the following points below.
RelationshipsIf a man wanted a woman to notice him, he'd have to hold doors open, buy flowers and diamonds, stay polite, lift heavy objects, kill spiders (shudder), pretend to be interested in things he most likely isn't, and generally try to be a sensitive person. Men do most of the date asking and trying to get into women's good books, and women everywhere are able to squash our fragile egos easier than raw eggs. Do you think men designed that system? If it were really up to men, all women would have some form of hormonal-display-monitor thingy on them so men could tell when was the best time to win them over and when they should just smile and stay clear. But NOOOOOOO, no one asks the men how they think courtship should work.
MannersManners are essentially rules, which must be followed in the presence of other people. Therefore, whoever invented 'manners' is controlling our behaviour without even being there. Do you think men invented manners?? Here's evidence that women created manners.
Elbows must not be put on the meal table. This is definitely not a male idea. The table is exactly where elbows should go. Why put a table as high as the elbows if not to put them on it? A lot of tables in family homes have flowery centrepieces, but no elbows. Now, who do you think thought of that?
Certain words are considered impolite. Imagine a room where men discuss what words should be considered impolite:
"The next word for consideration is 'shit'. "
*GASP*
One man faints.
'Shit' is added to the forbidden words list.
If you can't imagine such a scenario, I rest my case.
Fun
Ever encountered a woman who got angry at you because you were having fun when there were heavy objects to be moved somewhere? Now, if men really ruled the world, those heavy objects would be just fine where they were. But of course, since women are in charge, those objects are ALWAYS in the wrong place and must be moved, at the expense of your TV show or your game.
Money
On average, a man earns more than a woman. People might say this is good, but think about it. Given the choice, assuming one has enough money in the first place, people would rather spend money than earn more. And who, I ask, WHO, is doing more spending? If you have been living in a cave and don't believe that women do most of the spending, just walk into any mall and see what kind of shops there are. If you're a male, you walk into a bookstore, get a book, and get out. Or you walk into a hardware store, get a 15-variable-bit screwdriver, and get out. That's all you want, that's all you buy. But clearly, someone is buying everything else. How else could the other shops stay in business. SOMEONE is buying flowery notebooks. SOMEONE is buying a Louis Vuitton bag every week. SOMEONE is buying shoes every day.
Who could it be?
Kids have no money. Animals aren't even allowed in malls, let alone buy stuff. Therefore, by process of elimination, it's the women who are buying everything else.
Mothers
Do you see fathers anywhere ordering their wives around, or do you see them whispering to their kids, "Don't argue with your mother." ? 'Nuff said.
Survival
Now, I know this is not always the case, but ON AVERAGE, women do more life-saving stuff than men. More women cook so the human population can survive. More women are able to sew and as such save the dignity of the person who has a rip in his jeans at the crotch area. More women are not beneath cleaning, so they enjoy the benefits of better hygiene. So THERFORE, WHO do you think controls life on the whole?
Life expectancy
You know why the life expectancy of women is so much higher than men? Think about it. A pretty woman is held at gunpoint by a random robber or something. 50 men come to her rescue just when she bats her eyelashes. A woman is able to go about life LIKE NORMAL even while bleeding God-knows-how-much blood EVERY MONTH. A woman can endure pains of childbirth!
It logically follows, then, that if women are tougher generally, able to get men to take bullets for them, and thus are able to survive longer, WHO is the superior one here? And continuing this train of thought, the superior ones should logically dominate the inferior ones. So WHO rules the world?? D'uh.
Fashion
Now, if men ruled the world of fashion, they would act as if no one would notice women at all unless they wore some uncomfortable shoes which were akin to balancing on thier toes and a stick, or wore garments that were transparent in certain areas, or enhanced their looks with chemicals that hid blemishes and unsightly features. Thus, they would have the power to make women insecure and keep them that way unless they improved their look.
Oh wait, men DO rule the world of fashion. But it's about the only thing they control. And let's face it, you can't throw the cloth of men's superiority at the iron wall of women's superiority elsewhere and hope that the cloth brings the wall down.
