Why I am glad I am not a guy

It is dark. Outside, water falls in sheets, whipped by the maddening storm. The wind blows through the air vents, wailing like a banshee. You bundle yourself tighter and watch the the world blurred by rain, as you sip a hot mug of almond drink.

Suddenly, your handphone rings. You pick it up and a voice-recorded message comes on:

"You have been called up for National Service.
Please call 1800-eMindef if this is not for you.
Thank you."

And then you thank the gods you are not a boy.
