10 Things You Don't Know About WomenThe assignment is "Ten things men don't know about women." I am the worst
person to write this. Get Nora Ephron. Get Mim Udovitch. But me? Look, if you
want a piece on the difference between men and women, you can pick one up next
to the cash register at any bookstore. (I think computers write them now.) But
as I thought about it, I realized it's up to me, as a writer, to find a unique
angle. Then I found it: total and complete honesty. That's right, the following
are, truly, the ten things that men don't know about women.
1. We go to the bathroom together because we're doing coke.
2. We want to cuddle after sex because we're fucking freezing.
3. Makeup gets you high.
4. The "menstrual cramp" is a made-up phenomenon. Like the
"Holocaust."
5. Not all women like crappy, sappy movies. Unfortunately, many do.
Which is why they get made. So, ultimately, you can actually blame women for the
perpetuation of mediocrity in film.
6. Vaginas have a hidden pocket for change. (Not coins, social
change.)
7. Our eyes are up here.
8. We hate our thighs because, interestingly enough, they opposed our
right to vote.
9. Women who get boob jobs "for themselves" also give blow jobs "for
themselves."
10. The labia minora is not Hanukkah paraphernalia.
