Sarah Silverman, a comedian and actress, stars in the new Fox sitcom Greg the Bunny.
The assignment is "Ten things men don't know about women." I am the worst person to write this. Get Nora Ephron. Get Mim Udovitch. But me? Look, if you want a piece on the difference between men and women, you can pick one up next to the cash register at any bookstore. (I think computers write them now.) But as I thought about it, I realized it's up to me, as a writer, to find a unique angle. Then I found it: total and complete honesty. That's right, the following are, truly, the ten things that men don't know about women.
- We go to the bathroom together because we're doing coke.
- We want to cuddle after sex because we're fucking freezing.
- Makeup gets you high.
- The "menstrual cramp" is a made-up phenomenon. Like the "Holocaust."
- Not all women like crappy, sappy movies. Unfortunately, many do. Which is why they get made. So, ultimately, you can actually blame women for the perpetuation of mediocrity in film.
- Vaginas have a hidden pocket for change. (Not coins, social change.)
- Our eyes are up here.
- We hate our thighs because, interestingly enough, they opposed our right to vote.
- Women who get boob jobs "for themselves" also give blow jobs "for themselves."
- The labia minora is not Hanukkah paraphernalia.
