put a boy in a corset, panties, bra, slip, skirt, nylons and high heels and expect him to be a female. To be a female you have to have discipline, attitude and pride in who you are. Being a woman is a 24/7 way of life without vacations, without coffee breaks. Being a woman in today's world is the hardest life there is. Men have it easier than we do, because they can do more things. But those of us living as female and proud to be female have a difficult task.

People say that women have come out of the kitchen, put their shoes on, and went to work. Now while that is true, there are still single moms who not only work to support herself and her child(ren), but also take care of the house,cook the meals, and do the laundry. So the day of the independent woman is just a myth, because even married women still cook the meals, clean the house, do the laundry and the shopping.

If you feel you need to be female in this world today, remember that being female is a bed of roses, thorns and all, and there will be many of life's pricks from those thorns along the way.

This little story based on the song by Donald O'Connor is really great and funny too. WTG Drea and thank you for sharing.

"With confidence and forbearance, we will have the strength to move forward."

"If I have to be this girl in me, Then I have the right to be."

This is not an actual song from the movie. I was very confused. Even though I haven't seen the movie in years, I couldn't believe I would have missed this. This is a send-up, a parody, so you can't blame Donald O'Connor for this.
