Do men really think it would be so horrible to be a woman?

The "being a man" thread has a lot of us females freaked out. We are wondering why it seems impossible for men to state what they like about being a man without it turning into a negative "thank god I'm not female" post.

Is is really hard to come up with reasons you love being a man? And what is so terrible about the very thought of being a woman?
Can you think of anything positive about being a woman?

All the cock you want.

I can't speak for Dragon but I think it was tongue in cheek (?)

Let me just dispel a few of the myths that were stated in the other thread.

Having a period is an inconvenience but it's certainly not as horrible as men seem to think it is. You get a period once a month and sometimes you do get cramps or you get moody but it's not the end of the world and if you experience is long enough it's just something that happens. Not that huge of a deal.

Being pregnant is great for some not so great for others. Sure it's 9 months of being uncomfortable, and childbirth can be painful but unless you've done it you can't know the absolute joy of motherhood. You create life. What could be more amazing than that?

Yes we are socially obligated to wear makeup, do our hair, wear painful shoes. We don't have to though. Nobody holds a gun to your head and makes you do it. You do it when you want to, and when you dont want to you don't!!

and to the "seafood" comment. Vaginas, if kept clean smell no better or worse than a penis. Uncut men are labeled as foul smelling by those who are cut, and it's equally as offensive and untrue.

I could live with that :smile:

Being accused of being a slut is the aspect that makes women feel like we really aren't "allowed" to do that, speaking in general. I did what I pleased but I did care about discretion because I've seen how terribly other women were treated.

Offensive to those sensitive to truth maybe. :tongue:

The potency of your smell changes throughout your monthly cycle. Regardless of whether or not you clean yourself. The same is true for me and my nether regions based on what I eat and how well I hydrate (I'm uncut, btw). Then again, fresh manure on farmland smells good to me, so I'm very tolerant of any aromatic proof of fertility.:biggrin1:

Of course I can! The interesting thing about that other thread, though, is that the few posts that were positive expressions of self-love, you girls kind of crapped on with the "well I can do that too!" responses. It seemed to be in good fun, but it is troll-bait to men with fragile egos.

That's true, and it probably wasn't fair to do so. As mentioned, it probably was done tongue-in-cheek. Of course there are things that both men and women can do. For example, both sexes can enjoy being parents, but it shouldn't take away the enjoyment of being a mother or a father. Most men are taller than I am, and if one is available, I'm certainly not going to knock him aside just so I can use a stepstool. Just because I can do something for myself, doesn't mean I have to. I look after myself all the time - open jars for myself, take out the garbage, shovel the snow, change a flat tire, take the car for servicing, flip the mattress, haul groceries, etc, etc, etc. If there is someone willing to help me and it makes them feel good to do so? You bet your ass I'm going to let them help me.


LOL..sure we can have all the cock we want but if we take it then we're called "slut"!:eek:

I could live with that :smile:

Could you? After all the garbage that has been posted here? Men who have posted "the truth" about how men really think? That "sluts" are low quality people who do not deserve long term relationships? That a "slut" can never be trusted? A "slut" will pass off another man's child as yours?

Think you really could live with that? You'd put up with that shite just so you can have any cock you wanted?

Good for you. I still have "seafood buffet" dude on ignore. :smile:

I don't think there's anything wrong with being a woman. It's just a completely foreign concept for most men.

I remember a (male) co-worker I had once blurting out "If I was a woman, I'd be a total fucking slut". He was razzed mercilessly by the office homophobes, of course, the implication being that he secretly wanted to have sex with men (thing is, though, if you're imagining being a woman and having sex with women, wouldn't that make you homosexual?).

Beyond that, who's to say that the guy who wishes he could sleep with a different woman every weekend wouldn't think very differently if he was suddenly a woman, with the opportunity to sleep with a different guy every weekend? The risks/rewards would be completely different.

So in short, the whole idea is confusing.

I happen to think that if I was a woman, I'd be pretty fucking awesome at it. Why should that be any different than the status quo?

Women's bodies are so much more interesting than men's. As has been said, multiple orgasms. You are allowed to show your emotion. Now as for as much cock as you want, the more positive spin, you are more likely to get to pick and choose who you want to have sex with. Most cases the guy courts you.

An old joke/comment, an old husband and wife are sitting on the porch, he is dreaming about the women he wished he could have slept with and she is dreaming about the men she could have slept with.

Now this is not negative, but more true, you don't have to buy as many drinks when you go out.

On average you will live longer.

Don't listen to any man who says the best thing about being a man is not being a woman, there are clueless people on both sides of the sex debate.

I've met men and woman who I have thought "I would hate to be you because you hate yourself too much."
But in the meanwhile I have men and woman friends who are of varied religious, ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds who accept their strengths and recognize their own flaws (but make no apology for them) because their strengths far out weigh the negative aspects they[or others] assign to what basically are individual differences.

When others put a negative spin on who you are (from my own experience) It's just best to walk away and take the high road as being the better person; because they are usually trying to pass off their own issues and pin them on you.(I'm not a psychologist but I played one on TV once)

In terms of the whole "Is is horrible to be a woman/man? question." I really don't have a good answer except to say... I was terrible at being a boy but I am an award winner at being a man because of what I've learned about myself and the world on the journey to respecting individual differences as being good instead of wrong.

........ It's just a completely foreign concept for most men.

Some women are superstars, some are a piece of shit, no different to men. So I am loathed to erect pedestals and generalise based purely on sex.

I can think of places in the world where it is a tougher fate to be born female, but that isn't generally the case in the Western World. Is it?

I find it difficult in a post feminist western culture to marry sexual equality whilst retaining womanhood as a special concept (if anyone calls me on this comment, I will expand on it). I think that I have probably developed a self defense mechanism to ignore gender in day to day situations until I get to know someone, and even then it may be irrelevant.

I agree with Rob.J.R, it is a foreign concept and I don't even know whether it is 5% foreign or 50% foreign. Perhaps sometimes we are almost no different and at others 99% alien to each other.

When I said one of the best things about being male is not being female I meant having female body parts with the personality and straight male brain I have now. If I were born female and COMFORTABLE in my female body (meaning I didn't want a sex change) of course I would enjoy being female and be proud to be one. This is true for most people. The thought of being female while being comfortable in my female body is something I cannot conceive. And is very uncomfortable. Is the thought of being male uncomfortable? I cant imagine it would be a very comfortable idea for you and most females that like being female.

"And what is so terrible about the very thought of being a woman?"

Thats like asking someone who is American while you yourself are Indian,"whats so to terrible about the thought of being being Indian?" They have never been Indian they have nothing to really go from.



"We are wondering why it seems impossible for men to state what they like about being a man without it turning into a negative "thank god I'm not female" post."

well that is your perception of it being negative, this should not bother you becuase you are proud to be female.

It's a "perception" to be called a seafood buffet? Bleeding, bitching, over emotional, weak. Yep, I can see why you think we're being overly sensitive

after all we are women:cool:

Actually I don't see why you are sensitive at all. If you know those things don't apply to you, you would have no emotional reaction to them. Is like you favorite color is blue and you are wearing a beautiful blue dress and someone came along and shouted at you "I HATE RED!" You would just say "what?" whatever man your weird" and go along your day.

Women tend to be better communicators, are more in touch with feelings and emotions, and have a better capacity for compassion.

These traits do not apply to all women, of course, but when comparing men vs women, it is my experience that women are the more loving gender of the species.

There...how's that for positive?

This has been a great topic and I can honestly say I appreciate females alot more now. I surely needed a reminder that females simply have a different perspective ( they are female- not male) and to respect and appreciate that. I can't say anything positive about being a woman since I am not a woman, I'd rather from my male perspective appreciate women and the general qualities I've seen women exhibit (too many to name.) Life would really be different if there where no women.
