What a Piece of Work is Man

Women are crazy, men are stupid. And the main reason women are crazy is that men are stupid. If you don't agree that men are stupid just check the newspapers. Ninety nine percent of the truly horrifying things going on in this world were initiated, established, perpetrated, enabled or continued by men.
Women have good reasons to be nuts. To begin with, they are smaller. So they get slapped, punched, and abused by men on a regular basis.
Another major problem for women is that they have to look good all the time. Or at least they are led by men to think they do. And looking one's female best requires a lot of things. They have to buy and wear an unbelievably bewildering amount of garments. And let's not even begin to talk about shoes—especially, high heels that damage a woman's feet, ankles, and knees, but make her behind look great.
And this obsession with appearance has only one purpose. It is supposed to lead to romance and someday, a wedding. The man takes a wife, the woman is given away, and everyone stands around hoping she gets pregnant immediately.
Think of how fulfilling that can be. After all, now she has a baby, a baby she gets to practically raise alone. And if she decides to be a stay-at home mom, she gets to cook, clean, scrub, wash, dry, iron, do the shopping and entertain the guest. She is a housewife, an unpaid domestic servant.
That's the old model, though. In the new model, she gets a job so she can bring home some cash. But somehow, she still ends up being an unpaid domestic servant after she gets home from the job where she gets less than men for the same work, does not rise beyond a certain level of the company and gets harassed by some old moron.
And just by virtue of being women, they get many treats from Mother Nature as well. They are obvious and hardly require description.
But in exchange for all these abuses from man and nature, what is the woman's pay-off?
Well, many men are quite willing to open the door for her. Isn't that something?
