This is simply a bad idea. Underwear is there to protect you.

Girls get to wear sexy underwear. I don't know why they would, but they could.

Oh for God's sake people, it was a joke.

"you think it's funny to punt a small dog". Does that sound serious to you? Of course it's full of stereotypes, it's satire, or parody, or whatever. Arg.

I'm a light packer, my friends don't have sex lives, I can open all my own jars, my friends don't care about weight, I have no dry-cleaned clothes nor do I go to a hair dresser, I only carry a purse once and awhile, I usually go to the bathroom alone, I never make beds no matter where I am, I don't clean the toilet, I can get ready pretty fast, etc. Sorry but not everyone woman fits your stereotypes. Besides, if all guys are truly as chauvenistic as that, maybe I'll just become a lesbian.

Being a guy is the best. I mean, we can act pretty much as effeminite as we'd like, but we can be macho, too. And we do have it easier when it comes to ragin hormones and nature's little "cycle" of life. It's also completely acceptable to not care about so many things and just have fun.

YEAH! I was just talking about this. Guys hav it way easier than girls, in the pain dept. Also less pressure. And up till like 20-30 years ago, less harassment though you can't really say that now. But all-in-all I'm happy being a girl. Even with the pain. Big Grin Confused

I think I would have preferred to be born boy for some of the same reasons you listed but also some others.

*No periods. I absolutely despise my period.

*No chance of getting pregnant. Ever. Even as a woman, I don't want to get pregnant.

*I'm on the heavy side. I think it's easier for guys to get in shape and I think that there's less pressure for them to get in shape in the first place.

*Guys don't have to worry about the size of their breasts (as they have none) and can walk around without their shirts.

*Guys are usually a lot less self-conscious about their looks I think.

*I like some boys' clothes better than girls clothes and I often wear them.

*If a guy does something stupid, it's considered funny. If a girl does something stupid, she's considered an idiot for the rest of her life.

But I like being a girl too. Unlike you, I like doing different stuff with my hair. And I like getting all pretty once and awhile. Also, I think I'm more in tune with my emotions than any guy I know. I'm pretty good at giving advice and I only know a few guys that are good at that as well. And at least we don't have to worry about wet dreams or morning wood. Those are strictly boy problems. Of course, it's more likely that someone will witness leaks during our periods (which last all day) than a boy's night problems. It just depends. I guess there are ups and downs do both sides.

I'd like to hear a guy's perspective, though. Does any guy think he'd prefer to have been born as a girl?
