A question of gender: Would you rather be male or female?

Post Reply New Topic

Actually-it IS much easier to get laid if you're a female; but the catch is that its also easier to get raped and taken advantage of.


Just so you know Aridarr-foricibly removing ANYONES gonads can get you an aggravated assault conviction which these days carries a pretty STIFF prison sentence. Not to mention the fact that I just might retaliate in ways you cant even imagine.

I was joking, you big thwak.

I'm a lesbian trapped in a man's body...

nah...sometimes I wonder what it would like to be a woman, but only for a few hours. Just to see what all the fuss is about... quite content with the meat and two veggies side of the isle...

As I only know life as a man I am content being a man.

Why can't we agree that male, female, w/e life just plain sucks then one day when you are old and/or sick and shriveled and defeated sweet merciful death comes, and then your bowels release. The only regret in life should be not living to see the look on the faces of the people who have to clean it all up.

There's been times where I'm satisfied being a female but other times I'm not. I have to walk quite a ways to walmart just to grocery shop. No buses around here. I've had guys politely ask if I wanted a ride and then there are guys that won't take no for an answere. Other drawbacks to being a female is having a period(very painful), and pregnancy. I guess there are drawbacks for men too. They don't call me MissConstrue for nothing.

Hell, I got beat on in school and I am a female.

Gender blows, and not in a good way. I can't be female, and trust me, regular guys pick up on it and want nothing to do with it, and I really don't want to be female. It's mostly a freakin' drag, and one is continually degraded by senseless comments about how one looks and acts, and to have to listen to criticism from men and women regarding women in general. I don't hear the looksist comments directed at men as often, even among younger people.

And I don't think it's any great shakes being a guy, though in most ways it's easier.

It always cracks me up though--even though certain guys don't know for a fact, some people (a few women too) actually believe it's easier to get laid as a woman but don't consider who the hell it might be with, even though many of those same people wouldn't just sleep with anyone--there has to be sexual attraction, y'know. But a gal, they must be getting hit on all the time--I heard one poster on here use the "scientific" number of three times a day. A guy wants that good lookin' woman, and while they say they are open to different kinds of women, there's studies showing that's not the case--most guys go for looks, and have narrower standards for what they are looking for. Given many of the comments on this site, Aspie guys are the same.

Oh, geez, anyway...I'd rather not choose, and just be myself. I am not either gender.

Both genders are useless to being a full human being. My opinion--just like other body parts, but I believe it. I've seen mounds of grief caused by socially adopted behavior.

Lordy-day, my preferences of gender was a wonder whenever I look back. I don't know how to put this as far from personal as possible, but due to one experience after another concerning my you-know-what, I imagined it and the you-know-what's below it removed and I'm the blonde known as Princess Beautiful, a Nicole Kidman (as the Batman Forever woman) lookalike with this blue thing without a skirt, arm covering gloves, a pink snazzy hat (don't remember the name of the type) and a boa sooooooooo long, it would wrap a torso as if it's gift-wrapping among a box. I can't say how I got over it, but for years, I've been content being a man, despite of erections. On the plus-side, it motivated me to look back on moments I saw but let the memories of them fade with time, but got back: Carol Burnett as Miss Hannigan wearing a red boa to impress Warbucks, Ann Reinking as Grace Ferrell, with Annie herself (Ailleen Quinn) in a dressing room, with her hair down & brushing, Bernadette Peters as Lily (girlfriend of Miss Hannigan's brother) having a brown wig & removes it to reveal blonde hair & straightening it to the way she likes, Really Rosie placing on her boa & being posey in this cartoon and Helen Slater as Supergirl having blonde hair, but (what seems to be magical) getting brown hair as part of her human disguise. Seeing all those again seemed less exciting than I recalled, except for Bernadette Peters with that wig. I thought she just had a purple hat and removes it to reveal what seemed like blonde hair on the sides and cuddly chicken feathers on her top until I got to see the tape we owned and realized it's different. That was a cool moment at the time, given the fact that it was a VHS with the picture chopped up to make it seem as though it's Bernadette Peters alone onscreen. Now the DVD (letterboxed) took the fun out of it, though I appreciate the other moments in the DVD. Furthermore, I've ben loving the sight of girls in the cartoons by Bruce Timm and Co. on BATMAN, SUPERMAN and JUSTICE LEAGUE. The details made the hair seem like one or two big blades among their heads. There's an ideal female crowd, not to mention a girl both strong enough to benchpress a bulldozer and having this supposedly magical demeanor; loving to run up and hug me and, though the hug's over, keep the hands upon my shoulders, as if she'd hug again or kiss. As for guys, I imagine myself, sometimes, surrounded by boys (younger than 10) greeting me with a hug and being as good at satisfying my moods as said women. They'd have on wigs (for they have no hair at all) that would influence my mood of endearment or those that fit my mood of thrills. The women satisfy my thrills in a variety of ways, but they'd greet me with a lips-among-lips kiss (but no togues).

I would have rather been male.

My interests have always been stereotypically male...cars, electronics, etc. I also don't care about many of the things alot of women are overly concerned with. I've received alot of flack for that over the years...some of it from men, but most of it sadly from other women.

I am opinionated, vocal at times, and I flunked obedience training 101...traits which are still discouraged in women to some extent...if not discouraged they are often viewed as less desirable. I'm sure there may be some areas where this isn't the case...I just have never lived in one of them.

I like being female...I like myself, but I think the road would have been alot easier maybe if I had been born male instead. At least maybe I would have "fit in" better.

That's IT, "aggravated assault"? WOW! I guess a gaping stab wound is a pin prick. btw, I agree with D1nk0's statement about how angry a man would be if you tried to hurt him in that way. Mr. bobbit was NOT typical. I am a pacifist, love women, etc, but all that would go down the tubes if she did something like that!

It is sad that here only 7 out of 17 women don't dislike being women. It is a shame that nobody is really complete, that some see forced rape as an option, and that the grass always seems greener elsewhere.

D1nk0 your posts in here are immature and stupid, I really hope this thread wasn't made so all the males could barge in and be all like "OMG, I WANT TO BE FEMALE SO I CAN JERK MYSELF OFF"

tool.

You could at least have the courage to read my messages, Ryan.

Um....I dont think so.

You know and maybe this is my opinion I don't know. It would be good to hear from both men and women. Do you think the pressure for women to look good is very high? Dumb question, but I was just curious. I know women more often internalize pain and men tend to externalize pain too. I know that looks shouldn't matter but have often pondered on this topic. Why do you think there's a pressure for women to look good? Why do women go too far just to get plastic surgery? I know men and women both do this. What I can't get is why they would spend so much money on it. Is a way to feel accepted? OK, enough said, what are your views of this based on gender.

I totally agree with you that women often do internalize pain whereas men externalize it. But I honestly cannot say if its because thats what women are taught to do or if they have the impulse to do it. For a long time I assumed that women were just as concerned with men's appearance as men are with women's; but now I realize that women tend to judge men moreso on certain personality traits than on looks.

I would say yes, I think the pressure for women to look good is high, at least much more so than guys. The typical guy I see out at a restaurant is usually wearing clothes he just tossed together (maybe with some brand logos), while his date will be wearing clothes that look like they cost much more, and took longer to get into, and she may also be all dolled up in makeup which can't be an easy thing to do either. I often see guys that look like slobs with gorgeous well put together women.

I couldn't say why it is that way. Could it be that most men put more importance on looks than most women do? There are men out there who prefer substance and natural beauty over all that superficial stuff, but with all the stuff all over the billboards, and magazines, and television, it is easy to see why young girls growing up might be led to believe they should look that way, and for young boys to think that is what they should want in a woman. They don't tell people that models are often air brushed with gobs of makeup to look that way, that a variety of lighting and lens techniques are used to produce certain results, and that tons and tons of snaps are taken just to get the few that look "perfect", and those are the only ones you ever see on the magazine or the billboards. They will also often touch up pictures after they are taken to make them even more perfect.

Now do I think it is fair, or right, or justified? I can't see how it could be.
