Are you satisfied with your gender?

Ah yeah boo boo and Freebase I get what you mean now... I don't think I understood what you were trying to say. Obviously men and women are appealing to each other is a necessity, but giving up your rights and freedoms in order to appeal to someone isn't. That's what I was trying to say.

And yeah, I think it works both ways with judgements and criticisms - yes men can be harsh and degrading when it comes to women and looking for partners but I think women can be just as mean in different ways.

I just think that both sexes should not have to surrender rights or be disadvantaged because of their sex when it comes to social or professional arenas. Men and women, not just women.

And the reason I hastily picked 'no' in the poll is purely because giving birth freaks me the fuck out and I hate periods. Haha. In retrospect I am comfortable with myself and my gender and I would not want to be male... I like a lot of things about being female, even if it is challenging at times. (As I imagine being male would also have its various challenges).

EDIT: I read your post tore - very interesting and I completely agree that men and women look for different things in partners and I too think it goes back to biological reasons.
