anatomically speaking*

*Men, beware, you will not like this post.

I was talking to my friend Classy about how it seems that selflessness is engraved in our DNA, or even our XX chromosomes. The very anatomy of women defines us as caring, sensitive beings that are inclined to give rather than receive. Of course, and I say this from the start, there are exceptions and anomalies to my theory.
To say that God created us equal is complete BS. He created us completely unfairly and unevenly. Some of us are beautiful, some are butt-ugly, some are skinny, some are fat, and far beyond physical aspects, some have serious malformations, others are genetically predisposed to cancer, are autistic, deaf, blind... the unfairness of it all goes beyond anyone's imagination.  And at the core of it all, the main inequality is gender.
Men and women are not equal, anatomically speaking. And God clearly designed us not to be equal. I guess he wanted us to "complete" each other. At first glance, it looks like men were created to give, and women to receive. I mean, men are built stronger, which is why they are the "provider," and they were given the power to thrust... women on the other hand, well, they receive... if you know what I mean. But this was just the cover-up: Women were created to be maternal. And that says it all. Because while men can have children in every country and not even know about it, women will always know if they have a child. Which means, anatomically speaking, that we women are not allowed to be selfish. We are designed to give, take care of, be maternal. We have to carry a child and share our body whether we like it or not. I'm not gonna sit here and go through the usual "we have to go through childbirth, we get our period every month" complaints, although they're TRUE... but think about it! We get milk in our breasts that is necessary for the baby to grow. We are bound to our babies, and we have to give them our bodies and our nutrients, and that's just the way nature is. Just like in the animal world, at our core, a female's instinct, and a female's anatomy is to care for. And while men can be caring or not, choose to stick around or not, they at least have the choice. They are allowed to be selfish.

  1. Pretty accurate and makes sense.
    Except that women do not have a Y chromosome.
    Therefore it must be engraved in your XX chromosomes.
