Aliza is in a binding situation, literally! With her breasts constricted, wearing her brother's loose clothing, and dropping her voice to the lowest level, she's attending Ascham, an all boy's school! If that's not enough, throw in an extremely hot roommate, who suspects Aliza, aka Alex, of not being exactly what "he" appears to be and you have the start of a chaotic relationship--if you can even call it that.

10 Things Women Can Do Better Than Men
Women are better smellers than men.
Studies show that women are more accurate at pinpointing a certain smell compared to men, such as: citrus, vanilla, cinnamon and coffee smells.This could be due to more women coming in contacts with these ingredients in the kitchen as opposed to men.
Women in general live longer than men:
During many studies it has been proven that women live ~five to ten years longer than men. There are many reasons for this, such as biological factors: studies have shown that men are more likely to engage in risky behavior due to high levels of testosterone that can be life threatening which increases the death rate of the male populous.

Women are actually tougher than men.
Many studies have shown that biologically women are tougher than men. "Scientists now know that female hormones protect women from heart disease and they believe that the reasons for women's biological resilience have to do with the way women have evolved to play their reproductive roles. It's about gene survival. The mother needs to survive longest to care for her young until they are able to fend for themselves whereas the men are expendable earlier - having done their bit!"
Women are better drivers than men.
As many of you have probably heard the "women are bad drivers" joke, it's nice to know that it's been proven false. "Carnegie Mellon University researchers found after analyzing a lot of traffic data in 2007 that men are 77% more likely to die in a car accident than women, keeping the miles driven constant."
Women can remember appearances better than men.
Yes, we like to keep tabs on everyone around us. "Terrence Horgan, research fellow in psychology at Ohio State University, and her co-researchers found in a study that women are more accurate in describing appearances after seeing people once. The study was published in the journal Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin."
Women perform better than men in timed tests.
Let's just say that time is money, and the women can hit the jackpot faster than men. "In a study by Vanderbilt University researchers in 2006, they found that women on average score better in timed intelligence tests than men. This study, published in the May-June issue of the journal Intelligence, didn’t find much difference in un-timed tests, which meant women have a quicker mind."
Women can communicate better than men.
"This is now scientifically proven and acknowledged. Louann Brizendine, neuro-pyschiatrist at the University of California at San Francisco, found in a study that women can process 20000 words a day compared to men’s 7000 words (Louann Brizendine,The Female Brain, Morgan Road Books). This difference, as per Brizendine’s study, is more biological than social, which starts as early as the fetal stage"
Women can cope with stress better than men.
"A study at the University of California, Los Angeles, published in the July 2000 issue of Psychological Review, found some biological and behavioral differences in the ways men and women cope with stress. It found that women tend to seek contact with others and social support when they are under stress, which is a psychologically much better way of coping with stress than the “fight-or-flight” approach of men."
Women can have multiple orgasms:
Um...not much explanation is necessary, it's easy to say that women don't need to 'reload' before another orgasm...
Get aroused in public without displaying the evidence:
Well, in general women don't have to cover their genitals from showing the evidence of an arousal either by crossing their legs or using on hand materials like their male counterparts.

So you want to be a virgin...again? Sorry guys, you need not apply, because it's exclusively for girls, but I guess you reap the rewards.
Hymenoplasty is a vaginal surgery that's quickly becoming very popular. It's basically the restoration of the hymen: the thin protective tissue that is way back in the vagina (well, actually it's not part of the vagina at all as many people believe, but the vulva, which is an external genital area behind the vagina), it tears during your first intercourse, or in some cases during strenuous exercise such as sports and causes some internal bleeding and discomfort.
What is hymenoplasty? Well, in lamens terms, the surgery restores a torn hymen (Hymen Repair Surgery) by restitching it using dissolve-able stitches. The Small blood vessels in the surrounding area are thus connected to the stitching and cause some bleeding upon tear to simulate the 'popping of the cherry'.
You are not hospitalized as a result of this surgery and can return to daily routine in a few hours after the surgery. The usual cost for the surgery is about $1800-5000.
Many women get the surgery done due to cultural reasons: The family might object to loss of honor (the girls virginity is used as a sign of purity). Also, many women who are engaged want to get the surgery done prior to their marriage to make the occasion special and simulate the 'first-time' experience.
There is an increasing number of women who are getting the surgery done as a valentines day present for their boyfriend, or as an anniversary gift for their husband. Where before the statistics for hymenoplasty was as low as ~10/month, it is close to ~200/month now.
What do you guys think of this rather bizarre surgery, but keep in mind that nose jobs, implants, blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) and botox are also some surgeries the women and men undergo to look beautiful and in essence increase their desirability.
So compared to the cosmetic surgeries above, how much worse/normal is hymenoplasty?
My opinion? Well, I really don't care. People who get it done have their own issues and reasons behind it. If they so choose to undergo something like this, that's their problem and since it doesn't effect me in any way, shape or form, it's not my business.
As far as trying the surgery myself, I don't think it's something I would ever be able to do. Not my piece of pie...this cosmetic surgery business.
In so many of the books I read (Historical Romance Novels), virginity is such a big issue. If a female is not a virgin upon marriage, the husband can get an annulment as it's seen as a breach of the marriage contract. Also, if the girl is not a virgin upon marriage, the husband will forever be suspicious if there is ever a child due to the fact that there were no condoms in those times to protect from pregnancies. So you can't tell whose child you might be fathering. That put virginity on a big pedestal and caused it to be a wanted commodity if marriage was involved because it basically meant for the guy that the kids will be his own.
Anywho, let me know what you guys think of it :]
