Women force some negative sterotypes to come true

I have a friend from high school who does not like Asian people.

Now that I have let you pass judgments regarding my ability to choose wholesome friends, let me continue.

My friend (We'll just refer to him as C.) is of Asian descent. His parents are full-blood Vietnamese immigrants who came to America as young adults to raise C and his four older sisters. One must wonder why a person in C's situation would come to dislike his own culture.

It's because he is embarrassed by Asian stereotypes. He hates the idea of being good at math or being a bad driver or automatically being able to play the cello.

After he explained this to me one day, I began thinking.

I am a woman, but other women embarrass me. In fact, very few of my friends are women because I find them to be overly emotional, manipulative and intellectually stunted.

Is there something in our DNA that makes us so whiny or so sensitive? Granted we deal with some pretty sketchy hormones. I mean, PMS is no picnic. But is there something in estrogen that makes us trash talk and judge any other female we come in contact with, friend or not?

My biggest complaint is that women sometimes act dumber than they are. This is most often exemplified when a woman is around a guy she really likes. You all know what I'm talking about.

My best friend Nick is a guy. When we were juniors in high school, a girl in my English class developed a crush on him. In class she was nice and funny, and I enjoyed talking to her.

When class was over, I would walk through the halls to meet up with Nick, and she would follow me. The problem was that her I.Q. dropped 30 points somewhere between the English classroom and Nick's locker.

Nick never got to see the funny and articulate version of her, and consequently, never felt the urge to date her.

If a woman is a funny, intelligent individual, why would she pretend to be dumb?

And why is reading a fashion magazine more important than classical literature. I personally don't feel left out if I go three years without opening up Vogue.

In short, I can identify with C's frustration. The female race has created a stereotype I cannot (and refuse to) further.

Why would you shy away from a conversation in which you can argue your point of view? Why work so hard to always be fully made up all the time, and why would you ever choose a salad over a cheeseburger and fries? Why focus on being up to date on "Grey's Anatomy" when you can watch educational documentaries on the History Channel?

Am I a nerd? No. I just look that way compared to the majority of other women.

Thanks a lot girls ...
