Joy of being a woman

It's definitely better to be a woman now. I don't think I would have the same opinion 50-60 years ago.

 

Well, I'd just like to point out that men can be just as emotional, empathetic, gentle, etc. as women. Men can also talk about their feeling just as women can. I don't think men and women are really all that different; it's just that they're portrayed quite differently by societal influences.

 

I wouldn't trade being a woman for anything. If I wasn't a woman, I wouldn't have the glorious privelege of having the caring and supportive women friends that I have. Women help hold each other up, we often do things that men never think of for each other and without each other, life would be sad.

Oh yeah. And the G spot. I wouldn't give that baby up for the world!

 

I year ya, sort of. All the things that people are saying, like dressing girly and shopping, give me an anxiety attack. I hyperventilate when I shop for clothes. I hate it. And men's clothes, a lot of times, are made more comfortable.

Also, my period was such a freaking miracle that it almost killed me and I had to have the whole fucking thing taken out. When people say that their period is enjoyable, I wonder if we're talking about the same thing. I was hurting, bleeding, barfing, and I was expected to go about my day as if everything was just fine. It really sucked.

Childbirth? A miracle? I almost freaking died. It was awful. Thank God I can never do that again.

Being a mommy? I love my kids, but I would also love to have some space. I must be missing a patience gene or something.

Make-up? I don't really get how people can wear it. I know I'm weird, and that lots of women like it, but I just think it feels so weird.

I think that one big advantage of being a man would be that I wouldn't worry so much about creepy men. Because I could kick their asses if they hassled me. And, they wouldn't hassle me in the first place, because they be hassling women, like me.

I'm not saying that men have it made in every way, but just not having periods and childbirth and itchy bras has to be pretty nice.

 

yeah, there's a lotta women out there that feel like they're failures as women because they're not jumping for joy over childbirth or their children on a daily basis. fucking whatever.

 

I don't feel like a failure. I just think enjoying periods and childbirth...almost certainly the most painful thing most of us will ever do...is really odd. I don't romanticize being a woman. Hemmoraging didn't make me feel connected to the earth. A failure, though? I don't think so. I just can't relate to that.

 

i can. i feel like i see these "perfect mom" archetypes and i'm just not one of them.

 

I'm a tomboy, through and through. I don't really ever wear make-up, i am currently wearing a guy sweater right now, and all of my clothes tend to be green, blue, or black. Never pink! I don't paint my nails, I don't do my hair in fancy doos, and the last time i wore lip-gloss, or anything like lip stick was too long ago to remember. HOWEVER, i woudn't trade being a girl for anything else,because we are just awsome! We look at the underlined meaning of situations, we can understand others and be more empathetic towards other's feelings and problems than men(most of the time).

you don't neccessarily have to act like a princess to be a woman, that's not the true definition. The true definition of a woman is a person with infinate passion for others, someone that anyone can talk to, a spit-fire that won't be stereotyped by sexism, and someone whos outer beauty pales in comparison to their inner beauty.

 

Applause! I so agree with you on that princess attitude doesn't necessarily equals womanhood. I mean from my side I am not a tomboy, I like makeup and manicure but I understand that there're some other qualities that puts us apart from men being that what makes us unique, and it is not related to physical beauty or just motherhood. For me that is just plain physical aspects.

At times the body image insecurities can make my happy days dull and also everything menstrual-related, but in general I'm joyful of my womanhood because it gives me the opportunity to be more sensitive to others without judgement.

 

I am a man, and feel the exact opposite of you. If it were possible, I would trade you any day of the week.

 

Biologically, women are less likely to freeze to death due to how our wight is distributed.


As for the "feminine" steriotype; well, it's not AT ALL accurate. Every civilized woman has an inner goddess who is as wild and untameable as ocean. (Yes, I got that from POTC.) To quote one woman: "A woman is the guardian and hostess of th earth. As the bearer of life, she stands closest to birth and death, thus closest to life and to the earth. This linking, life itself, is a woman's true space."

 

i love being a woman and being womanly. i don't want to have an advantage over men. we're made perfectly and so are men. in many ways our genders are opposites and compliment each other. i've never wanted to be a man.

 

I love being a woman, most of the time. But I know I'd never want to be a man. I mean why do I want something that looks like a plucked chicken hanging between my legs?

 

I am woman, hear me roar

 

sometimes...
i often think of how could be being a man... and i suppose it's cool....

 

I like being a woman because I was born one...

I do like being a female though hard to explain why...

 

your balls don't stick to your legs in the summer time. and two words "no shrinkage."

 

We are both powerless and powerful. There is a strong strong dualistic approach to women in this world, and it is important to be good to your sisters.

 

yeah, what all Ya'll said.. hahaha except for the mothering deal.. Idnt thik ima be doing that..
