When I go out with my girlfriends, we find ourselves debunking the horrible myths about women we hear all the time.

All those ridiculous notions about us that are simply not true.  Here are the top 8 myths that my friends and I decided are simply not true:

1.     Women Don’t Like Sex – sorry, but this is simply not true.  Most of the time we talk about how hot certain men or women are (we are not blind), or how we fantasize about how it used to be or could be, or how challenging it is to overcome complacency in marital sex, etc.  We rip it apart, we may complain, but its not because we don’t like it.

2.    Women Gossip- I can see how that perception is alive and kicking, but what we are doing is NETWORKING.  Sharing ideas, books, identities, stories, clothing, and cocktails.  We honestly have many other things to talk about than our friend who just had her eyes done.  At least most of the time.

 3.    Women are Terrible Drivers-  Danica Patrick, NASCAR driver extraordinaire.  Charlize Theron in The Italian Job.  Need I say more?

 4.   Women Like to Spend Money- Another misunderstood myth.  Dare I say Bernie Madoff?  There has never been anyone I have heard spending money, other peoples money at that, worse than that horrible man. He single handedly tore that myth off the shelf.

5.     Women are Bitches When They Have Their Periods- Okay. Maybe I have to give it up on that one.  It’s hormonal and we can’t help it.

6.     Women Who Are Thin are Beautiful- Where is Rubens when we need him?  This is more fantasy than a myth.  Its horrendous how much this affects the viewpoint of both genders, and generations of beautiful women of all shapes and sizes.  We just ain’t buying it and pull teeth to get our daughters to understand what strength lies in inner beauty.  Fuck you Lindsay Lohan.  It’s not pretty. Go out and get something to eat for God sake.

 7.   Women are Whiners- I think men are easily confused by words of  CONCERN. C’mon, lets face it.  We got a lot of shit to juggle, work deadlines, schedules to keep, laundry to do, sex to have, meals to cook.  We like to TALK it out so we are sure we are heard.  This is not whining, it’s FACT.

8.     Women can’t fix Things around the House-  Helllooo?  Anyone else married to a Jewish guy?  I was raised by an electrical engineer father (also a Jew, but an enlightened one) who taught my sisters and I to install dimmers, storm windows and introduced to the difference between a Phillips head and a flat head screwdriver.  And funny how that myth doesn’t refer to can openers and dishwashers.

That’s my list, what's yours?
