Would you come back as a man in your next life?
Just thinking about all the bs crap women go through. I think I would.

Hmmm, that’s quite tricky. I see pros and cons to each…

Hmmmm. Men don't have cramps, periods, pregnancies, postpartum, and menopause. Even so, I'm not sure that I'd want to pick.

No, I would still be a woman. If I could, I would choose a better and safer world for women though.

I can think of so many positives/negatives for each sex so I don't think I would want the pressure of having to choose. A higher-paying career as a male does sound mighty appealing though. And yes, I know that women can earn more than ever before in history, but they also have to put out so much more effort than a man does to get there. And deal with the guilt of not being home with their children if they choose to have them. I think the emotional wear and tear is much harder for a working woman than a working man.

For all the social advantages men have, I feel incredibly lucky that women get to grow human beings, so just for that, I would choose female.

After more thought…
I think I will stick with being a woman. I don’t do bugs or wild animals. I
would hate to be in charge of all of that.

Interesting question! I'm a definite NO, but it might be fun for a day or a week, maybe.  |

Only for the easy ability to pee! Oh so true! And showering has to be easier as a man without making sure you get every speck of soap from your tucked-in nether regions. But the thought of all that hanging around every second of the day is overwhelming. I have always wondered if it bothered men to run. Sure we have bouncing boobs to worry about, but how do they handle all that extra down there? Yeah, I think I choose being a woman. |

But the thought of all that hanging around every second of the day is overwhelming. that! And the inability to hide your "interest" in someone or how it can just pop up at any time! I still remember my 9th grade French teacher had that problem in class all the time. |

I bet that if you asked men this question, most would say No to being a woman without any hesitation.

I see what your saying, and I get it, but, IMO ( admittedly biased opinion after my divorce ) but in my opinion there is a higher percentage of men who are assholes. I’m not sure I’d want to come back and end up one of the asshole ones.
Do I get to keep my knowledge from being a woman? That might make all the difference.
I’m sure there was a point in my younger life when I’d dealt with discrimination that I probably whimsically wished I were a man. You know so people wouldn’t think I was the secretary instead of what I was. And then there’s the peeing standing up thing that seems handy. But now at this stage of my life I’m quite happy not being a man.I do wish I were thinner but that’s about it.
Can’t we just come back into a world where we are actually equal and still be women instead?

No, definitely not. In the past few years I have said to my husband that I am sick of listening to middle aged white men. I have zero desire to be one.

No way. I'd come back as a woman again.
Men have crap they have to deal with too. They have to shave their faces everyday. Yuck. Who wants to do that? Not me.
They have erectile dysfunction issues to deal with when they get older, and they have prostate issues that make them pee a dozen times a night.
It's a toss up either way who deals with more physical issues, but I like being a woman. Yeah, we have to deal with menstruation for years, but we can grow babies and have them-something they can't do.
I don't mind bugs or wild animals-I actually like them. Except for snakes.
Naw, I'll stay a woman. If I can come back to equality for men and women that'd be amazing.

I would try it, just to see what it's like to have a 2nd brain that overrides the larger brain in my head... but then I think I'd rather deal with periods and hot flashes (maybe...I haven't started those yet) than to have that thing right there in front of me 24/7  |
