The Unevolved Chromosome

THE UNEVOLVED CHROMOSOME:
I have a theory. It is decidedly unscientifically tested. But if were to be proven; the ramifications would be truly world-shifting. Ready? Wait for it….
Ok The chromosome pair that defines a woman as a woman is the XX chromosome. The male chromosome is XY. Now if you look at the Y chromosome, its clearly missing a leg i.e. the chromosome, hence it is not as evolved if you will. This begs the question: what is on the missing fourth leg of the Y chromosome that is included in the female X chromosome? Allow me to enumerate.
A) The ability to follow up on plans without excessive prodding.
B) The ability to listen compassionately without having to fix an issue:. Just because I am talking, does not mean you can do anything or for that matter, that I want you to do anything.
C) The ability to ask for directions. Nuff said
D) The desire for true emotional connection with their mates, friends, etc.
E) The ability to have true emotional connection with their mates, friends etc.
F) The ability to think with their cerebellums instead of their vaginas.
G) The ability to distinguish shades of gray, cream, white etc.: i.e. eggshell white is different from ivory.
H) The ability to differentiate between shoes: oxfords, pumps, platforms and peep-toes.
I) The knowledge to train ahem their monkeys, I’m sorry, their mates.
J) The ability to take care of sick children, do dishes, laundry, dinner etc. without whining.
K) The knowledge that doing stuff like changing a car’s oil is dirty, and uncomfortable. Isn’t there a trained monkey around?
L) On the flip side, of the above advantages: there are definite disadvantages i.e. the propensity to obsess to a degree indescribable with mere words. Why hasn’t he called? Did I have bad breath?
M) That whole time of the month thing. Seriously. The urge to rip someone’s face off from the neck up, is never more prevalent than during the time of the month.
N) Periods. Let me count the ways they suck. They are dirty. They cause bloating. They cause cramps. They make us the aforementioned cranky, pissy, etc.
O) Our propensity for asking trick questions: “Do I look fat in this?” and “She’s cute, isn’t she?” Trust me. Men cannot win.
P) The ability to hold a grudge until the end of time: “you remember when you forgot to take the trash out in 1986? Well that really hurt my feelings!” ummm..yeah…
Q) Inability to program VCR’s, remote controls, cell phones to ring the Star Wars theme whenever someone whose names begin with an N rings. I never knew how important that was.
I am sure there are more advantages and disadvantages that are not listed here. The point of the blog is to illustrate that the differences between males and femles are definitely housed in that missing fourth leg. I truly believe that God (Jehovah, Allah , whatever.) tried to even the score by making the choice of male vs female chromosomes the purview of the contributing male chromosome. Else the scales are definitely tipped in woman’s favor. That’s just how I see it..
