The Good Side and Bad Side of Being a Girl (even though we pretty much enjoy being one)

Sure we don't have to court someone (it is a choice, still) and we don't have to work our backs off for a livelihood in the family, but we still have those things that sure are irksome and that boys don't experience.

THE GOOD SIDE

1. Freedom of expression. We, girls, can get all clingy as we want... with other girls. Not with boys. Because if some girl is being extra friendly with a guy, chances are, she's a flirt. Or, she doesn't understand the beauty of girls, because if she does, she'll probably hang out with her own kind.
2. Extra protection. Just like a fragile flower is a girl to her parents. Not that I'm exaggerating. If you're going out and it's like two blocks away from your door and they're like, bring this, bring that. But, at least, we're safe. No other protection beats that of a parent's. So don't hate them because they'll only want the good for their daughters (not sure for their sons).
3. Our not being a guy? Not sure if this is really a good thing, but it counts now, I guess. The whim of wanting to be a guy exists now and then but it goes and stays away, enough to realize that being a girl is a good thing because I don't have to be a guy. But guys and gals are of equal importance.

THE BAD SIDE

1. Competition. When you attend school or just stroll the streets, there's always competition. Not just with the girls but with everything, most particularly, the GIRLS...  Mostly, the bad side is this. Competing and comparing for the hair, nails, skintone, body, or boys? The last thing is disgusting because I really thought that only animals fight over a partner.

So, yeah, here they are! And I'm sure these are not the only things you can think of, but I just want to shorten this post because I don't really want to emphasize the downside of being a girl. Because, I like being a girl. I hope you do too! :)
