Houston, we might have a problem: this is one big step for mankind everywhere! But, uh, what about the girls?

Since obdurate feminists the world over will be screaming sexism before the day is through, we at CollegeCandy hope to add some fuel to the fire. With a list of five more safe houses for the men in our lives, lets explore the reasons why men often need to duck and cover when it comes to women.

1. We Like to Shop for Clothes

Pretend you’re a man. What’s worse? Clothes or furniture shopping? Before you answer, no, I’m not talking lingerie shopping. That’s a whole ‘nother topic entirely. If you thought furniture shopping was downright awful, wait until you’re forced to hold bag after bag and sit through 45435345 dressing room try-ons.  And if you hesitate for even a moment, men, we know you think we’re ugly and we’re fat. Or that you’re picturing the girl in the next fitting room naked. If nothing looks good or fits right, our moods will be ruined for the rest of the afternoon. The solution? A “man-cave” similar to the kind you’ll find in IKEA Sydney. Told you the Swedes are ahead of the ball.

2. We Get Pre- and Post-PMS

What, did you think PMS only lasted a week? Sorry to bust your bubble babe, but lets get real. The salty, sweet, repeat cravings start well before nature takes its toll on our uteri. Be prepared to run with any type of mood swing we’re experiencing, we guarantee it’ll change again within the next hour or so. Then, there’s the week after. Yup, still bitchy. If you want to be ready, play like Clooney and gear up to ride out the Perfect Storm.

3.  We Always Love Chick-Flicks

And that will never, ever change. So quick, before I keep going, go ahead and schedule poker night for the same night as the premiere of Crazy, Stupid, Love. Even though we may already have an outstanding collection of chick-flicks to view at home whenever we want, nothing quite beats getting dressed up and spending a night at the movies, head resting on your shoulder, bawling our eyes out as Ryan Gosling professes his love at the end of the film. The solution? 3D glasses that actually play another movie. Case closed, enjoy a night out with your honey without ever having to shed a fake tear.

4.  It Will Take Us Longer to Get Ready than You

A word to the wise: please, please, please let us get ready in peace. We know you can hop out of the shower and into your clothes in a matter of moments but it takes us way, way longer than that. We have to do our hair, and then we have to stare at our hair in the mirror and fix it. Again. Then when it’s time to get dressed, we have to try on several different outfits. And fix our hair again. Next we have to find shoes. Get where I’m going with this? So here is one proposed cure: locate the remote, then secure yourself in front of the TV. Once you’ve gotten that far, find ESPN and do not, do not, ask us again when we’re going to be ready. If you want to avoid taking a stiletto to the face, just be patient. Trust me.

5. Our PMS is Real

If pre- and post-PMS were not enough to drive you crazy, welcome to the must awful time of the year that happens every month. Due to the fact that PMS is completely different and crazy for every woman on this planet, let me just say this: build yourself a bunker. Stock it full of junk food, pillows  and earplugs. For the safety of men everywhere, stay inside the walls of said bunker and do not leave. Conditions may be worse than any earthquake, hurricane or other natural disaster you may have experienced before. Proceed with caution and heed our very emotional warnings.

Okay, so while the Swedes one-upped the world in Sydney this week, there is still more cave excavation to be done. Men of the world, rejoice, there is relief waiting for you.

Women, stay classy and when the time is right, stay crazy. It’s our natural right as descendants from the craziest bitch herself, Mother Earth.

"I really wish you'd give a little more between the sheets..."

Girls are known for nagging. It’s not something we’re proud of, but, honestly, do we really have a choice? If we didn’t pester our boyfriends we would never get them out of their man cave and into a civilized restaurant.

But despite the fact that guys don’t whine and give us puppy dog eyes when they want us to do something, it turns out that they their own list of secret wishes when it comes to our behavior.

The dudes over at Guyism.com recently shared all the things they secretly wish their girlfriend would do. While we won’t be enjoying Fantasy Football anytime soon (seriously WHAT IS THE POINT OF IT?!), we do understand the allure of the sexy Halloween costume and promise to continue sporting it every year.

This little list was quite enlightening (guys like funny girls? Score!) and got us thinking (as usual) about the things that we secretly wish they would do.

Our boyfriends are wonderful; we love them more than anything. But if they did some (or preferably all) of the following, we’d be sending a mass text for a girls night ASAP to brag to all of our girlfriends about how absolutely amazing our guy is (and chances are they’ll be getting a little luckier then usual come bedtime…).
