Why is it women seem to be the ones given the hardest time when it comes to dating, being single and sex?
If you're a single woman you are constantly told by a variety of people that you better hurry up and reproduce because the clock is ticking. Really? You don't think I can't already here the loud clanging (not ticking) of my ovaries as they screech at me with one of those raspy horror type voices "Fertilise Me!!!!"
The only person that ever gives a man a hard time about reproducing is his Mother.
If you're a single woman who is in complete touch with her sexual needs and happens to have had quite a few sexual partners then you are considered a McSlutty Hoepants. You are unclean. You are disgusting. And you should probably be taken out back and stoned to death just like they did in the good old days of the old testament.
If you're a guy however who has screwed around a lot you are a legend among your fellow men. You are patted on the back. Libations of beer are practically thrown in your direction as if it is an offering to the sex god, in hopes that they too will become a Male lothario.
Why in 2016 are there still these ridiculous double standards?!
Another one that I get quite often is "You're really pretty and seem nice. Why don't you have a boyfriend/husband/partner". What amuses me is that usually this question comes from guys who have an interest in pursuing me. Like they are low key trying to find out what exactly is wrong with me and which parts of me are so badly broken no man wants me. Like I have no idea this is what they are trying to establish because I'm a silly brainless female la la la la la.
"Well I don't know Steve, maybe its because I keep ending up talking to arseholes like you. That may just be the reason I'm single. Because you and your man buddies are just a bunch of wankers who don't have a clue how to treat a woman".
And finally my personal favourite "How long do you plan to be single for?" (cue cricket noises).
Plan...to...be...single...for....Well gee golly I was thinking of a ballpark figure of 1 year 3 months 16 hours 33 minutes and 10 seconds give or take.
I was not aware that I'd planned to be single when I entered into my last relationship. I was not aware that I was dating a man that couldn't keep it in his pants.
No one plans to be single. No one puts a time limit on it. So please stop trying to put the responsibility of successful relationships on the shoulders of Women!
Until next time xo
