Some Advantages of Being Male
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
