Tax benefits
As time closes in for filing tax returns, an interesting idea struck me.
Women should be given tax benefits for using the services of beauty parlors or spas.
Let me justify:
Most men consider beauty parlors or spa bars a waste of time, energy and most importantly money.We, women, pay a visit to these places for one most important element..Brace yourself men: Peace. Yes, you heard it right, I am saying it again: Peace. For most of the "new-world" woman who is constantly juggling between her work, home, kids, food prep, cleaning chores; a trip to the beauty parlor is the most welcome respite. Help me spot one woman walking out of a parlor/spa with a frown on her face, I will step down my soap box here. Somehow, that place seems like light years away from all the noise, crowd, calls, emails and the limelight is just on one: us. We are treated like delicate lotuses with utmost care. The experience calms every cell in the body and leaves the woman feeling peaceful and a confident.
Of course, undeniably, a trip to the parlor also makes a woman look like a fairy from those book we have read in our yester years. There is nothing more boosting self confidence to a woman as a prettier self. A peaceful and a confident woman can take life more easily and help ease any tension that may prevail between her and her better half, her friends. A soft smile on her face helps her do a lot more un-quantifiable benefits to the society at large. Men, try quarrelling with your woman after she just comes back from a spa bar/beauty parlor and trust me either she would be so fresh and beautiful that you can't get angry with her or she would be so peaceful from inside that she wouldn't argue with you and would work with you on finding a solution.
It is simple, she feels more loved and works towards spreading love(!). I can't see how war can perpetuate in such a setting. At large, she works towards (drum rolls....) World Peace! (If only they let me take part in Miss Universe contest)
Tell me now, why should such meaningful expense not be rewarded? Why shouldn't we be recognized and appreciated for the larger cause we are working towards? I am not asking too much; just a tax benefit or a standard deduction for the amount spent.
