20 Reasons Being a Girl Is Better (Aka Screw Double Standards)

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at JMU chapter.
  1. We can multitask.

  2. Our friends don’t make fun of us if our drinks are pink and come out with umbrellas.

  3. We aren’t constantly adjusting our uhm “package.”

  4. And with that said, we don’t have to work to hide it every time a hot guy walks by us.

  5. We also don’t have to worry about getting it up.

  6. We can cry our way out of a traffic ticket (although it’s never actually worked for me.)

  7. Yoga pants.

  8. We know a million ways to look cute and sexy without having to try.

  9. We can snuggle with our best friends without judgment.

  10. PMS is a perfect excuse for anything.

  11. We communicate WAY better.

  12. Car insurance is cheaper for women.

  13. We don’t sweat; we glisten.

  14. We are never asked to kill a spider.

  15. Boobs.

  16. Sundresses.

  17. We can say a girl is hot and it’s not weird.

  18. Pinterest.

  19. Free panty coupons at Victoria’s Secret.

  20. We look awesome naked.

So basically, even though there are beyond a lot of double standards… Being a girl is great and you know it!

Have you ever thought "Am I the only one who..."? I'm sure you have, and I promise you're not. Live the life you love. I don't take things too seriously, because life is too short to be so obsessed with what everyone thinks of me. I became a writer so I could say what everyone else is thinking. I believe that treating others the way you want to be treated means you will never have to regret a decision you make. I make mistakes, but that's what makes great articles!
