Nope. Not jesting. I was just echoing the things my wife has said to me that she is jealous of.
You are correct, though. She does feel that it's not fair at times. She says that I get to have the benefits of being a woman - the clothes, makeup, shopping and the like - without the "downsides" - the cramping, bloating, "fat days" and more.
It's totally true. Still, I enjoy the things I do get to do, and let her know that she will never have to worry about hair - both the overabundance of it and the chore of removing it en masse. She won't have to worry about a shorter lifespan on average, and other things. There are benefits of being a man. There are benefits of being a woman. There are downsides to both.
I meant no disrespect. If you have read even a few of my posts, I think you would know that. It's not my way.
