Some Advantages of Being Male

 

By Elton Camp

 

Benefits of masculinity I cannot deny

There are reasons to like being a guy

It’s assumed men deserve higher pay

And as a man, I really like it that way

 

We wear the same clothes to every affair

And nobody will notice or show they care

Just two pairs of shoes are entirely enough

We needn’t color coordinate and such stuff

 

There’s no makeup I must rub onto my face

In fact, to do that would be counted a disgrace

My hair I don’t need either to straighten or curl

But that for sure isn’t the case if you are a girl

 

Nobody will ask me to serve as a babysitter

So with others kids my time I don’t flitter

People don’t expect me to cook them a meal

I see absolutely nothing wrong with that deal

 

If visitors should find that the house isn’t clean,

They won’t blame me and you know what I mean

They say, “That poor guy’s wife is such a lazy lout.

She doesn’t have a clue what housekeeping is about.”

 

For promotions at work I always have the inside track

Being a male will compensate for any skills I may lack

And when I become old and ugly that will still be okay

I might find that it inspires more respect to be that way

 

For a woman to be considered to be as good as me,

At least twice as competent she is required to be

And the main thing that truly causes me to smile

I can come to have kids without bearing a child
