Things Women Are Better At Than Men

I was feeling a little femenism running through the veins today, so I thought I'd give a shout-out to all the ladies out there who can see a little bit of themselves in the following examples.  These are some areas where women clearly have the upper hand on men.  Men, don't try to argue with these because you know that they're true.  We outlive you, so you should already know that.  :)

1. WE'RE BETTER EDUCATED
     Women now earn approximately 60 percent of all Masters Degrees and have finally caught up to men in earning approximately 50 percent of Doctoral Degrees!  More highly educated women are out in the workforce nowadays than ever before!
2. WE HAVE STRONGER IMMUNE SYSTEMS
     Estrogen naturally found in our bodies suppresses an enzyme that interferes with our defense system.  Does that mean that we'll come up with an estrogen-like immune booster for men in the future?  :)  Also, because of their strong ties to their family and other relationships, women produce more of the "feel good" hormones like oxytocin and seratonin.  These feel good hormones promote lower stress levels which also help the immune system tremendously!  Come on men, show us your feelings!  We promise we won't tell anyone.  (wink, wink)
3. WE'RE MORE LIKELY TO GO SEE A DOCTOR
     Women are three times more likely to see a physician on a regular basis and keep tabs on yearly health screenings such as Pap smears, mammograms, blood pressure checks, etc.  Because of our being proactive about our health concerns, on average we live longer than men!  Yahoo!
4. WOMEN OFTEN EAT HEALTHIER INTO ADULTHOOD
     As women age they are more likely to make healthier choices over time as opposed to men.  I personally think this has more to do with how women are perceived in our society versus anything else.  Women are still shunned for getting older or gaining weight, while men are revered for their looks well into older age regardless if they are 150 pounds or 250 pounds!  Maybe being looked at as sex objects is a good thing in some ways.  Women are more proactive about eating right, exercising, lowering stress, etc. all because of the pressure to look like we are 40 when we're 75.  Ladies, we need to start getting on our men's case a little more about their looks!  Maybe then they'll actually get off the couch, go to the gym, and lift more than a beer can in front of the TV! 

There you have it.  Ways women (healthfully) outshine men.  And this is only the start of it.  I say it's time for men to bring their naturally competitive nature to the surface more when it comes to their health.  You don't want us to continue to make you look bad, do you??
