Ten reasons why all ‘Ten Reasons Why..’ should be prohibited

1. There should be only one solid reason for doing or not doing something. For instance, one solid reason why men should wear skirts is that they would be far more comfortable in it. That’s a good enough reason.

2. One solid reason is usually followed by many other reasons. And reasons are seldom just ‘ten’ in number. I mean there could be eleven reasons or thirty-three. Why restrict yourself??!! For instance, in addition to being comfortable there could be many other reasons why men should wear skirts. Like the fact that they would be able to better disguise their state of excitement.

3. Ten is such a boring number. It should be an interesting number like a prime number. For instance, thirteen reasons why men should wear skirts.

4. It is an excuse for bored-nothing-better-to-do people to write silly-relevant-to-none articles. I mean why on earth would any sane person ever be interested in reading ‘Ten reasons why men should wear skirts’ ?

5. People use it to justify their actions. For instance, a man can write on ‘Ten reasons why men should wear skirts’ and make up fancy reasons when the only real reason why he wants to wear a skirt is to shorten the period of undressing before the act of committing the sin of lust (Read: Sex).

6. People should not be allowed to not take risks in life. And ten is such a safe number. It’s safe to give ‘Ten reasons why men should wear skirts’ when actually there are so many more.

7. Ten has the digits 1 and 0 in it. Binary code numbers. Just like in The Matrix. Scarrrrryyyyy! Does anyone want to live in The Matrix even if the men wear skirts in it?

8. There are better things in life to write about. For instance, an article on ‘Men should wear skirts’.

9. There are enough bullet points and numbered facts to go through in the course of our professional lives. For respite one does not want to read neatly bulleted and organized reasons for any action. For instance, a comic strip with men wearing skirts would be so much funnier than a ‘Ten reasons why men should wear skirts’.

10. It certainly would stop me writing such could-do-without-nonsensical-articles.
