You Are a Woman... So You Think You Are Bad?

As a motorcycle rider I have seen an influx of women riders emerge. Most look majestic riding those big machines and they gain my respect immediately. It's not easy being in command of a machine that weights over 600 lbs., and yet they seem to be very comfortable doing it.

In the past only the man used to provide for the family while the wife stayed home to take care of the kids and do the shores. But now it's not rare for a woman to bring home the bacon so we can fry it up in a pan. I make decent money but truth be told in "mi chica's" line of work when it gets busy she can kick my ass hands down.

The reason I'm writing about this is because I read a riddle in my ABF's newsletter that got me thinking.

I'll write it for you, then tell me if you solved it.

A man and his son are in an automobile accident.
The man dies on the way to the hospital, but the boy is rushed into surgery.
"I can't operate on this boy," says the surgeon.
"He's my son!"
How is that possible?

If you had to think hard about what the answer is, then you still live in an era where you think men are the sole providers. Otherwise, you would have immediately solve it: The surgeon was the boy's mother. (Duh.)

Now I see more women wear tattoos, I mentioned once in a previous post that where I work almost every woman that works there has a tattoo while only 1 man has one. I get women truck drivers making deliveries and they park the big rigs easier than some of the man drivers (I hear our parking pit is a hard one to get into). I see many women riding their own motorcycles instead of riding in the back. They are boxing, wrestling, car racing, and they are doing just about everything us men do. But the one constant that only women can do is... give birth.

You are a woman... So you think you are bad?
I say so.
