maybe in the next world?

something i'd very much like to see is international gender-behaviour swap day. one day a year where men have to behave like women, and women have to behave like men. and where only the clothes remain the same. a reversal of customary rôles just for the fun of it.

women could do most of the flirting, the leering, make the crass comments, remain supine on the couch with the remote, and eat whatever they wanted without concern for the calorific consequences. in the bedroom women could finish first. and leave immediately. and not call the next day. or ever. and completely ignore you in public. most of all, women could just enjoy the sheer freedom of not worrying about anything, at all. not their appearance, their wardrobe, their weight, their relationships, their diets, their age, or those toxic star-signs.

meanwhile men could turn this and way while looking searchingly in the mirror, and whisper vicious things about each other, and endlessly check their machine for messages, and go without food all day so that when they get home they can eat mounds of ice-cream while watching television, and enjoy saying things like "not unless you take me out to dinner first", and have the last word. and use sex as a reward for pliant behaviour. and after finding some man who is "perfect" try and change him anyway.

sorry to be a spoilsport, but there is one caveat. the bi craze will not be in effect. as much as it would amuse-or-excite some women to see it, it won't be happening. not on my watch anyway.

don't forget the men wearing uncomfortable shoes! that would be essential.
