Because women's work is never done and is underpaid or unpaid or boring or repetitious,
and we're the first to get fired, and what we look like is more important than what we do,
and if we get raped it's our fault,
and if we get beaten we must have provoked it,
and if we raise our voices we're nagging bitches,
and if we enjoy sex we're nymphos and if we don't we're frigid,
and if we love women it's because we can't get a 'real' man,
and if we ask our doctor too many questions we're neurotic and/or pushy, and if we don't it's our fault when something goes wrong
and if we expect childcare we're selfish,
and if we stand up for our rights we're aggressive and 'unfeminine' and if we don't we're typical weak females,
and if we want to get married we're out to trap a man and if we don't we're unnatural,
and if we want to be stay-at-home moms we're old fashioned and if we don't we're bad mothers,
and because we still can't get an adequate safe contraceptive but men can walk on the moon,
and if we can't cope or don't want a pregnancy we're made to feel guilty about abortion,
and because equality is FINE until girls start doing better in school, and then there's something wrong with the education system, or women become more successful than men and then there's something wrong with society,
and when we're moody it's because we're PMSing but when men are wankers they're just being guys,
and when men say something sexist if we're offended it was just a joke and we're humorless and if we're not then we're one of the guys,
and if we ask a question in class it's because we're confussed and don't understand but if a guy asks a question it's insightful,
and if we have a job in a mail dominated field it's just to fill a quota and overbearing,
and if we're modest about our accomplishments we don't have any but if we point them out we're just bragging
and if we give people too much freedom we're weak managers but if we don't we're difficult
