Being a Woman for a Week

Writing about an entry you don't have permission to view
Chloe Westerman just wrote a blog entry about the things she'd do if she was a man. I found them funny and clever, but a little offensive to men. Of course, the adult thing to do in this situation is to get your own back. So here's my list of things I would do if I was a woman for a week:
1. Win an argument with a man by telling him that none of his opinions matter since he'd never know the pain of childbirth.
2. Learn how to correctly opperate a vagina.
3. Become best friends with a guy who obviously fancies me, but never ever even think about going out with him. Just to piss him off.
4. Enjoy an episode of "The O.C."
5. Become convinced I'm fat despite all available empiricle evidence. Persist in this belief no matter how much other people try to persuade me it's not true.
6. Walk through the lingerie department in House of Frasier without feeling uncomfortable.
7. Wear very revealing clothing, then call all the men that look at me "perverts".
8. Find Jo Brand funny.
9. Gain an understanding of how exactly Orlando Bloom is attractive.
And, of course,
10. Experience the joy of being mean to everyone because I have PMT.
There – I hope that redresses the balance a little bit.

[Skip to the latest comment]I really love your site…funny it seems so familiar to me!!!!
The O.C is sooooo cool!!! The guys are extremely sexy especially Seth who is hilerious as well!!
I dont think that my sight is offensive to men, cos it actively encourages them to relate what they would do as a woman for a week!!!

I dont find chloe's site offensive to men at all, she does ask what men would do if they were a woman for a week. Which gives u guys plenty of opportunity to live out ur wildest fantasies. This is a childish rip off of chloe's original idea and u so wish u had thought of it first!!!!

ops as u can see i was using chloes computer b4 and it came up with her name instead of mine. But us girls like to stick together and i firmly stand by everything i said b4!!!

I was so deeply shocked and offended by the scandelous portrayal of men on your Blog that I almost fainted and had to be revived with smelling salts. 'Twas most untoward.
28 Oct 2004, 22:44
You obviously dont have a very strong constitution!!
I love the sentance 'twas most untoward'...It makes you sound like Shakespeare
28 Oct 2004, 22:52
Do you go in for the whole men in tights look, with that weird ruffled large white collar round their neck thing?????
28 Oct 2004, 23:11
I was wearing a brassier and my pantaloons at the time. Not that it is the business of a young lady like yourself to enquire of such matters.
28 Oct 2004, 23:34
Intriguing! (I love that word)
Fit guys in the O.C. I hear you say? I know what i'll be watching tomorrow!
As for Orlando Bloom I can't say I'm a huge fan but there are times when he looks incredible sexy with his boyish good looks!
29 Oct 2004, 00:18
Christopher….Your a guy after my own heart!! I totally agree with you! I love the O.C and will definately will be tuning in tomorrow!! You can have Ryan, but Seth is ALLl mine!!!! Oh yeah!!!
As for Orlando Bloom, he looks really cute and sweet, the only problem is that i watched Troy at the student cinema lately and he came across as a bit of a sap in that character!! I like more spunk in a guy (no pun intended!).
A bit of a BAD BOY always gets my heart racing!
29 Oct 2004, 00:32
People are using my Blog to discuss which O.C. guy is the hottest. What have I done?
29 Oct 2004, 00:37
That's what you get for trying to be exciting and controversial by making fun of the 'fairer' sex. Can you really still live with yourself after this?
I am thankfully spared the brunt of the mental anguish caused by such a conversation as I have no idea what this 'O.C.' thing is. And no, I don't want to, either. I see plenty of sexy men anyway. Sometimes even Sam.
29 Oct 2004, 00:48
Sam…you have created a monster!! And Colin is right! This is what you get from insulting the 'fairer' sex!
By the way…in referance to your tansexual activities….what bra size are you??
29 Oct 2004, 01:00
I don't really know what this whole O.C. thing is, I heard it was trashy so I wasnt going to bother finding out but now someone mentoned there are fit guys in it I'm more intrigued. I happen to have it on my computer at the moment because my straight male housemate likes it (i assume it must also contain some fit ladies?).
And yeah Sam has an air of sexyness about him ;)
29 Oct 2004, 01:09
I have it on good authority that men find the women in the programme sexually attractive!
Either that, or your 'Straight' flatmate, aint as 'straight' as you thought!
You should definately look at it for the guys though! Seth in particular has the whole package…charm, boyish good looks and humour!
Can I also ask where you have percieved that Sam has an 'air of sexyness about him'??? After all he is a self confessed 'negative person' who 'hates people'. (as quoted from his very own blog!)

I'm sure there's attractive women in the O.C., but it doesn't stop it being wank.
29 Oct 2004, 02:58
I have a confession to make. I watched "The O.C." once, just to see if, as the advert claimed, there were "pretty people" in it. I was dissapointed. The entire femle cast look so fake and pathetically plastered with makeup as to be no where near attractive.
29 Oct 2004, 12:09
Chloe, I can assure you that, having met Sam, I can confirm that he is even sexier than he is funny. Which may or may not be intended as a compliment. Suffice to say that I'd do him (if it weren't for the restraining order).
29 Oct 2004, 15:48
Sam, im really glad that you go for the more natural approach!! Its what us girls like to hear!! I hate to see women looking like they have been severly tangoed!! God it must be so dissapointing for men in the morning!!
Colin, you amuse me!!! I think it perfectly plausible that Sam has a restraining order out against you!!! GO Sam!!
I'm sure that If you can get him to retract it, youd be in with a very good chance! LOL

I had to live with him last year. I'm still in therapy.

Sam, I have been informed that I know someone you know. His name is Nathaniel and he does maths and he's trying to recruit me to his five a side football team (as goalie) by telling me that the team's last goalies can't play due to a broken collarbone…
Although maybe if this poor keeper had been a woman for a week the attacker who barged into him would have thought twice?
30 Oct 2004, 10:54
Yes… you've been invited to join the venerable Tadan Stallions, or so I hear. They've not been the same since thier goalie was injured. He's sat around downstairs right now, watching football on TV with a plaintive expression on his face. Interestingly enough, he does occasionally spend a week as a woman, just not that particular week. Oh well.
Say "Hello sexy" to Nathaniel for me.

I'd never even heard of the 'O.C.' before I arrived here (I mean, what do the letters stand for anyway?). And I wouldn't watch it anyway, because it sounds shite.
But Orlando Bloom is very fit.
PMT has nothing to do with joy, and more to do with containing irrational impulses that scream 'go on, hit him with the frying pan'.
31 Oct 2004, 22:26
It stands for The Orange County. Which is a part of America. Presumably where the show is set – I wouldn't know to be honest, because I can't bring myself to sit through an entire episode of it.
I'll take your word on Orlando Bloom. He looks like a curly, weird-chinned gimp to me.
And eek.

I'm having enough trouble sitting through the descriptions of it.
As for PMT, I thought that women had the 'go on, hit him' urges all the time, and they stopped resisting them when they had PMT. Or at least, that was the excuse for not resisting them any more.
01 Nov 2004, 19:39
PMT can be an excuse for a lot of things e.g:
"I didn't really mean to stab him with the carving knife, officer, I just had PMT."
But, seriously, hormones are NOT fun. OK.
