Believe me, I am VERY, VERY thankful. I’m sorry you and many other women have to go through that crap.

Men are lucky that way.

For me, I guess I would like to know what it's like to be able to pee standing up like a man. I also wouldn't mind having upper body strength like men. That's all I can think of right now.

It’s pretty simple and actually doesn’t feel uncomfortable at all.

I bet it's very convenient. Just for one day, I'd like to know what it's like. Not even a day, just one time! I suppose the only down side is that men can't do #1 and #2 at the same time!

Yes, it is convenient, but I do have p*nis problems sometimes. Another downside.

How do you feel about preteens and teenagers?

I was asking IllinoisTVFan how does she feel about preteens and teenagers? Does she like them, does she not, can she get along with them?

Oh, it's not THAT bad, well it's not THAT good either ! What I mean is it is nature ! It is what it is, part of being a girl! I'm finally completly past menopause so maybe that is why I'm saying this, if you asked me a few years ago I might be saying, yes it is the worst thing in the world! Uncomfortable and yes, cramps, bloating, some pain but we all are in it together, half the world ( females) ,never bothered me that bad !

When it DOES bother you is if you DON'T get it as expected and you have an unwanted pregnancy, or a false alarm and you are just late! You WELCOME and WISH for the uncomfortable monthly mess than!!

Menopause was no fun, I had very bad hot flashes and night sweats , to me that was almost worse than the monthly !

Yes, I realized about a minute ago that you were talking to her and not me. So I deleted that post. OOPS!

That’s okay. I’ve done the same thing once.

My brother thinks periods make women look sexy

[Theda Bara]

I absolutely love being a woman

I never had any desire to have children; knew from a young age that I didn't want to bring another human being into this unstable, and sometimes rather cruel, world.

I have been lucky in not having bad periods. I am slightly older than both IllinoisTVFan and Wawwie, and I am still regular, no signs of approaching menopause either (ie hot flashes, etc), I guess I am lucky in that aspect.

I loved wearing high heels when I was younger, was able to dance the night away, in 6-inched platforms (never had a problem with my feet or my back).

Anyway, I never had the desire, or penis envy, of being a man; there is a certain power of being a woman that is hard to describe.


And men, consider yourself LUCKY if you have never been invited to a baby shower, to be rather blunt, they are boring.

Maybe he's talking about swollen breasts? Believe me, it does not feel sexy. It sometimes hurts like hell... and other times it's just uncomfortable. Either way, it is so unsexy feeling.

Almost every woman I’ve met or known has said that periods are hell. So I just assumed that it was something that was very painful and irritating that makes women miserable and am lucky that I don’t have to deal with it.

I love being a woman, but than that is what I am! So thinking if I was born a boy I guess that would be fine too, it would be what I would know all my life ! I think it depends on a lot of things ,there are good things about being a woman and good things about being a man !

Rebuttals

1- Never being pregnant - I had two babies and there were bumps in the road here and there in pregnancy and motherhood, but all in all the good times out number the rough times and I love my kids and was / am very glad to have them ! I actually wanted one more cause I had two boys and would have liked to have a girl, but unfortunately that never came to be!

2- Never have a period ! Although it's not a day at the beach or a walk on the park, we get through it !

3- wearing pantyhose and high heels ! Hey I had some fun back in the day showing off some leg and wearing sexy shoes! Not now, panty hose are out of fashion, girls just get their legs tan or wear tights ! And high heels, well I'm older now and I badly sprained my ankle a few years ago, so I'm paranoid of wearing too high a heel now, afraid to fall again ! But even still, woman don't have to wear heels and show leg if they don't want to these days ! Womens/ girls clothes are so much more casual and comfortable now !

4 - Baby showers- well yeah, the old traditional ones can be boring but lots of baby showers nowadays are unisex and it's pretty much like a regular party !

So for me, I love being a girl/ woman! My main reason for not wanting to be a man is I would be very afraid to be drafted to a war ! And also not really being able to cry or show a lot of emotion in public like a woman can! Other than that , I guess being a woman or a man , it really wouldn't matter that much but being born a female I am used to this so I'm content !
