I would quite like to be a woman. For a short time, at least. Im happy as a man, but would like to experience the world as a woman. With the mind and body of a woman; the thoughts and feelings of a woman. It would be enlightening. I say that not because of all the differences, but for the many similarities. All this talk of men/women being better would disappear. It would confirm that actually, we are different sides of the same coin. Different, but part of the same beautiful existence; separated only by body-type and prejudice. Two brains with different settings, yet capable of reaching the same conclusion. Individual minds; born unique and shaped by life-experience. Why do I like Chopin and Richard OBrien? Not because Im male or female, not because Im gay or straight because Im an individual, just as you all are. As an essence (without body or form), I would still be attracted to women. As a woman, I would still be attracted to women. Such things go beyond genitalia, silly names and labels. Realising this, the idea of breasts being used as some sort of bargaining chip or a man using his position as a man to get things done is ridiculous. Such bigotry can be dismissed as idiocy its insulting to the complicated nature of humans. For example, even if I liked the imaginary breasts why would I buy the lady a drink if those are her only attractive trait? Even based on physical-attraction alone, thats far too simplistic a view. However, it is further evidence of our fundamental equality.
If I buy the lady a drink, simply for displaying cleavage I am an idiot (sexist, for assuming shell jump into bed with me because shes displaying some cleavage etc). If the lady is displaying cleavage, hoping for free drinks shes an idiot (sexist, for assuming men will do anything for cleavage etc). The context of that scenario could vary enormously, but my simple version demonstrates how both men and women can use and abuse a commodity (and wrongly assume something is a commodity in the first place). Even the bad qualities are shared equally between men and women. Only through lack of thought have the prejudices of a few, became the prejudices of many. At the source, it is stupidity blindly believing the lies of the past and continuing to spread them. In short, no men dont think life as a woman would be horrible. However, some believe it without thinking. With a little thought, I doubt something this obvious would be misunderstood. :smile:
