Yeah lots of women love children, I guess we all forgot about that.

I personally think pregnancy is a beautiful thing despite all the hardships that come with it. A woman's uterus is like a garden where people grow. Ok that's corny as all f*ck but it's not far from the truth.

Some girls just wanna f*ck though and they have a more severe penalty for sexual activity than guys.

I can only think of these methods in avoiding pregnancy if you live a sexual lifestyle. In order of sanest to craziest.

-Avoid straight up vaginal intercourse, using various other sexual techniques as substitutes

-Make partner use condom

-Hot lesbian sex :pimp:

-Take contraceptive

-Make partner have vasectomy

-Get your tubes tied

-Intentionally seek out infertile males for intercourse :laughing:

-First trimester abortion

-Female to male sex reassignment surgery, not the best option if you intend to have intercourse with your male partner :laughing:

-Hysterectomy, by far the most radical and dangerous choice. You could make some quick money by selling pictures of it to death metal bands so they can use it for their album cover

I take this topic too seriously? hahahaha


yes and no. you mention an easy example in your comment as well, men have more upper body strength. it's not something i ever tried to have more of than my little sister, i just did because of the chemical composition of my body. choice? not applicable. but you still see plenty of people who try to deny the fact that it's about the biological specialization of the gender through either the guise of equality or the disdain of chauvinism. you must remember the classic line from our youths (whatever boys can do, girls can do better!). basically the message i've gotten from society since the late 70s is pretty much - hey guy, you have it all and don't actually deserve any of it and you're the reason your mom is sad.

just to be clear i'm NOT a 'get in the kitchen and make me a sandwich woman' kind of guy either.

and yes, hermaphrodites happen but they're quite rare. though it's still technically wrong to call them asexual as they can't reproduce by themselves.

You're the one who was bitching because people weren't getting in depth enough. But if you read some of the past pages you'd see that your complaints have been met so STFU.

I disagree with the point that sex changes are stupid. There genuinely are people who do not feel they're the right gender, and that doesn't really make them stupid at all. I have a good friend whom I met as Amanda, who is now referred to as Adam and while he's pre-op I don't think it's stupid for him to want to be a full male. Everyone had always thought, when he was playing the part of a she, that she was a male anyway,so it's easier for him now. I'm really happy for him now, because he's becoming who he feels he really is, and he's very brave for coming out to his family about it.

Personally I think people like this are absolutely fascinating, being that I'm so at home in this female body with my decidedly female mind (I'm so girly that I wear nothing but dresses), I can't really understand feeling otherwise, so it's interesting to hear from someone who isn't.

I think I'm pretty happy with being a guy.
As someone said, I think we get kind of a bad run around because for some unknown reason it's "Cool to be stupid" these days and I think a lot of girls, guys like me, and older generations get irritated and tend to right a lot of us off.
However, I think girls have a lot harder than guys do what with their image and just having to deal with other girls in general because, really, they can be pretty cruel. We guys just beat the **** out of each other. Girls take it to a whole new level.
I think over all we're not expected to be super achievers so when we do well it's acknowledged well, whereas girls get pushed a lot harder because they're supposed to eb "smarter, prettier, faster," etc.
I just think it's easier to be a guy than it would be to be a girl.

But even as someone who has on occassion had thoughts about being the opposite sex I can't fully grasp how anyone could go through with it.

I'm not at all saying though that people who feel like one gender trapped in another are stupid. I recognise Gender Identity Disorder as a legitimate biological disorder. I guess it's because I don't have this disorder that I can't grasp how desperately those with the disorder feel the need for transgender surgery.

I apologise for putting it so bluntly earlier. What I really meant is I think it would be stupid for me to have transgender surgery just because I think being a chick would be groovy because if I ever go through with it and I'm not satisfied, there is no penis return policy.

As in sex change is something I'd only recommend for people who truly suffer from the disorder. I'm just not sure that every transexual does. I see the possibility that some sex changes are a result of an emotional reaction to something that could be sorely regretted in the future.

I'm cool with being a guy. Although ruling the world would be nice.

Women don't rule the world. But they CAN and all they gotta do is show me their tits. :thumb:

But seriously. Woman can rule the relationship sure, and that is mostly the case according to any male comedian anyway. But that's not equal to running the world. The folks all around the world who run the governments, agencies, organizations, economies, media outlets, militaries, religions and most other institutions are predominately male by a significant amount.

Menstruation is definitely what I dislike most about being female. I'm glad it doesn't hurt too much for you, Erica. The pain is pretty severe for me. In fact, I tolerated labor pain very well because I was so accustomed to similar severe cramping pain during periods. That's what labor felt like to me: like really bad period pain. It wasn't the worst thing in the world. I didn't give birth vaginally, though -- have always wondered what that would've felt like (and kind of glad I didn't have to find out!). I had C-sections with both my children. The pain and soreness afterwards was really unpleasant for many weeks (same as you, Erica - but I guess in a different area!). That was the most difficult part to get through.

I'm happy with being male as I find girls tend to go through a lot more pain as they tend to be more emotionally unstable and then there's childbirth, periods, menstruation (sp?), stereotypes etc.
