See, this is part of the problem. Both sexes can find good reasons, from their point of view, for why they have the harder time.

Life ain't always easy or fair and it is so tempting to think that it would have been so much better if......

Maybe what we need to learn is more respect for each other, male or female. Look past gender and see the person and then make the decision as to whether this is someone you want to get to know better. With respect and a GENUINE liking for people those jokes lose their ability to offend. Both Kendall and I 'snipe' at each other but it's done because we are both secure in the other's affection and we each make the other laugh.

Complaints about how difficult life as a male/female is are naturally going to evoke a defensive response in the opposite sex. Live with it - unless you go for the surgery you are never going to be able to even get near experiencing that other life.
