Here are the 11 reasons a woman can do perfectly well without a man. Whether you’re married or single, they’re sure to strike a chord.
以下就是女性没男性也可以棒棒哒的11个理由。不论你是结婚了还是单身狗，它们都必然会引起你的共鸣。
1)The TV remote control is a device that changes channels — it is not a life-support system. I do not need a man who thinks it is and has to have it prised out of his hands.
电视遥控器是用来换频道的设施——它不是个生命保持系统!我无需一个如此想的男性，还一直把遥控器攥在手里紧紧不放!
2)I like my bathroom sink to be sparkly and clean. I do not need a man to leave foamy bristles all over it.
我就是喜欢亮闪闪的干净的浴室。我无需男性把沾满泡沫的胡须毛发掉一地。
3)I can cook a meal without using every pot and pan in the kitchen. I don’t need a man to turn it into a bombsite.
我用不着用上厨房里的所有盆和所有锅来做一顿饭!我无需个男性把厨房变成爆炸屋!
4)I don’t need a man to come home and spend two hours telling me about his day without once asking me about mine.
我无需一个男性踏进家门就喋喋不休两个小时，告诉我他的一天怎么样怎么样，却一次也没问过我!
5)Laundry needs to be done on different wash cycles. I don’t need a man to ruin my cashmere by not reading the labels.
洗衣服需要用不一样的洗涤圈数。我无需一个男性看也不看标签就把我的羊毛衫洗坏了!
6)When I can’t do a DIY job, I admit it. I don’t need a man to insist he can, then mess it up.
当我不会自己动手的时候，我就说我不会做。我无需一个男性坚持说“我会我会!”……然后弄的一团糟。
7)When I can’t open a tight jar, I stab the lid, release the pressure — and hey presto. No man required.
当我打不开密封罐头的时候，我把盖子刺个洞，释放重压——你看，变!根本无需男性嘛。
8)When my clothes feel tight, I know I’ve gained weight. I don’t need a man to point it out, grab rolls or tell me I’m ‘so cuddly’.
当我的衣服变紧的时候，我了解我重了!我无需一个男性为我指出，夺走我的面包卷，或是告诉我是那样的“惹人想抱”!
9)Sometimes it’s nice to watch a cheesy, romantic movie at the cinema. I don’t need a man to sit next to me, sighing, tutting and muttering ‘for God’s sake’ all the way through.
有时在电影院看看恶俗的爱情片挺好的。我无需一个男性坐在我身边，全程叹气，发出啧啧的不满，还有发着“天哪!”的牢骚。
10)Making a list and sticking to it is the fastest, most efficient way to get around a supermarket. I don’t need a man to return home having bought nothing we need and 200 things we don’t.
列一个清单，按单子购买是最快的、最高效的超市购物策略。我无需一个男性回家的时候给我买了一堆无需的东西，而大家的必需品什么都没买!
11)They’re your family. I don’t need a man who needs me to remember the birthdays of his parents, siblings, and nieces and to buy their Christmas presents.
他们是你的家人。我无需一个男性要我记住他爹娘还有兄弟姐妹还有外甥们的过生日，还要买圣诞节礼物给他们!
