Birds

I was staring out the front door today when something occurred to me. What's wrong about these next few pictures?

I guess I should clarify: nothing is wrong with these photos. In fact, I'm a huge proponent of these photos. They illustrate that in nature males are more colorful and flamboyant as a way to win the females. They dress up, groom themselves, and dance to gain the attention of potential mates.

So why is it that women seem to have taken on this role for men? We dress up, take care of ourselves, and compete with other women to win the attention of men. Maybe we should all be a little more conscious of our behaviors and aim for a more equal courtship (and re-read He's Just Not That Into You). Don't worry, I'm not going to stop shaving my legs. But I am going to stop persuading guys to feel differently. The future Mr. Meagan is going to equally try to gain my attention. It certainly wouldn't hurt if he knew how to make cheesecake.

I agree. Boys should also be impressive.
