I believe every man should dress as a woman for a week. The whole nine yards; hair styling, makeup, dresses, heels, the works. They'll see why it takes us so long getting ready for an event, why we're always so unwilling to do anything "fun" (shyeah, you try participating in an impromptu game of football while you're in a miniskirt and spike heels!), etc.
A couple of years ago, at a science museum in Queens, NY, there was an exhibit on Women's Health and History. Part of the exhibit showed some of history's crueler fashions, like foot binding, corsets and high heels. So many men were astonished, they'd never thought about it before and didn't realize what we went through to appeal to them. I heard many amazed guys, here and there, saying, "Wow, I didn't know that!" I think that exhibit should tour the country.
A good idea (foot binding and corsets...uh-uh,
...).
Personally, I rarely ever take a long time to get ready-rarely wear makeup and dresses or mess with my hair and stuff (and I don't play football merely because the sport doesn't interest me), but I know a lot of women do, and therefore, like you said, it'd help for guys to see what women who do all that stuff go through.
The area that I'd love to see a lot more guys deal with is the pregnancy thing. And if there was a way for guys to have to deal with a "time of the month" thing like us girls do, that'd be good, too.

They're closer than brothers. And they clicked like that almost from the very beginning. Undoubtedly, shared history and close bonds of friendship have carried the four of them through the best and worst times and have only solidified the bond. It is amazing. How many people have friends like these for twenty-five years?
. Exactly. Like during the
Achtung Baby sessions-with a lot of other bands, that kind of arguing and stress would've probably ended them. But U2...the four of them were so close of friends that they were willing to sit down and talk about what they wanted out of each other, to work out whatever disagreements they'd been having. Same thing in the early days with the religious differences. They don't want their friendships to end over stupid things. We'll never have to hear them on some "Behind The Music" show or "E! True Hollywood Story" show or whatever talking about how some insignificant fight ruined their friendships or something like that.
And another neat thing is that their method of talking things out probably also helps them with their girlfriends or wives, too.
.
Plus, just think of all the inside jokes and stories they have with each other, from their school days up to now.
