Grrl Power #1349 - A standing ovulation

Thank you for the support! You guys and grrls are awesome!

Having never been female myself, I don't know what "Unexpected Feelings of Femaleness" would be. Were I a facetious person, I might suggest a sudden urge to go shoe shopping, buy a bunch of makeup, even though they already have a huge drawer of makeup, to hang unicorn posters on her bedroom wall, or to lay on her bed with her feet kicking back and forth in the air while writing "Mrs. (her first name) (his last name)" in her trapper keeper over and over. Those last two might only apply if you were a tweenage girl in the 80's. 

If I were not a facetious person, I might think women can feel it when they look at some guy and their cervix goes, "Yo, get that dude in here." That's more of a sarcastic notion. It may not be fully inaccurate though, because as I said I don't know one way or another.

I can tell you what feelings of maleness are though. It's walking into a Home Depot and seeing one of those screwdrivers that comes with 16 different screw bits stored in the handle and thinking, "Well I definitely need that." Even though I've already got 7 other screwdrivers with various amounts of screw bits already. Same thing with tiny and/or exceedingly powerful flashlights. You know, that wasn't so much a problem when I was growing up and flashlights all had sucky 8 watt incandescent bulbs in them - well, except for those big "doubles as a truncheon" flashlights that were powered by 4 D-cell batteries. Or the camping flashlights that took those batteries that were the size of a third of a car battery. My point is, you couldn't buy a flashlight back then the size of a Pez dispenser that could light up a room like an array of stadium flood lamps.

Here's another maleness thing (notice I'm not using the term "manliness") It's seeing a sexy woman in some negligee that's like, 80% straps, and your first thought is, "Yes, I quite appreciate that" (<--heavily sanitized version) but more importantly, your second thought is "After she wears that once, she's going to stuff that in a dresser drawer where it won't come out again until and anniversary or a birthday or something, and when she does retrieve it, it's going to be as hard to untangle as 200 yards of Christmas lights."
