Writer's Block: Gender Bender
Ok, I'm suddenly on a roll. Think I'm bored. Waiting for the man to come online because I want to ask his opinion about a dress I see online and whether I should buy it. (Although honestly I shouldn't be doing online shopping, seeing how many big BIG purchases I've made and are going to have to make this month)
Anyway, answering this question.. Hmmmm, actually, no! I've always thought being a girl is so much fun and I feel so grateful to be born as one. So many things girls have and can experience that guys can't. And when they say the fairer sex, I always think of it as the better sex. Firstly, the fact that we have the potential to be life carriers. That by itself is I think a HUGE life experience that guys miss out on. Sure, periods suck (especially the cramps and pimples for me) but periods remind you of how fertile your body is and how one day you could, God-willing, carry another life inside it. Secondly, our strength. We may seem weaker, but hey, we're the ones who have been created to be strong enough to, in a friend's words (Fatma you said that right?), push out a baby's head through a hole that previously only fitted a penis. Something along those lines. And countless of us have survived that ordeal for generations. Plus, I think a woman has more strength in the sense of being able to live life alone. Generally, I think, a woman who has been made a single mom due to the husband's death or divorce can continue life and bring up her kids without remarrying, whereas I'm hard put to find a man who can do the same.
Haha ok this post is turning out to be a pro-woman thing rather than answering the question. Hmm I guess if I ever want to be the opposite sex, that is, male, what attracts me to the idea is that I can experience how it feels like to be constantly having sex on my mind.. hahahhahaha. Which I think is a weakness for men. Women can live without sex, methinks (or so I think because I have yet to experience sex), but men just can't. They need women. Which gives us the upper hand. Haha. And I guess if I can be the opposite sex for a while, I can understand them more, which gives me more knowledge. And knowledge equals power. Muahhahah!
