It's just something women are taught by their mothers and by other girls growing up. Never leave your drink alone, never walk alone at night, etc. Some of it's common sense, but it's hard to define the point where you're teaching how to be street smart versus teaching that men are scary.

Also, don't let dreams get to you, it can twist your thinking and is just a pointless headache.

Yeah. I should probably just let my dreams be dreams.

women generally go through a lot more bullshit when compared to men, I couldn't imagine putting on fucking makeup and shit everyday

good thing women don't have to put on makeup.

I mean can anything equate to pregnancy?

Crazy hormones and throwing up a lot for nine months and then popping something out of you in an extremely painful way...

I don't want to grow up

You don't have to have a child.

in fact, i would highly recommend that you not

Ender, do it.

Women have it worse.

Men. Say I had no job and stayed home all day, would an attractive woman want to marry me and provide for me? No, but women can get away with that.

Huh....good point.

advice =/= bait

You know. Im glad you're not going to breed. Take that as a compliment.

This question is such a bait. I'm not convinced there's a right answer. If anyone can produce a study indicating that women on average are more likely to legitimately wish they had been born men than men are to wish they had been born women (I don't mean either in the transgender person's sense, of course), then I'll reconsider. As it is if I were given the chance to be born as one or the other I'm not sure which I would choose, honestly. Both have ups and downs today.

I didn't mean it as bait.

Hard to say. I can only comment from my side of the spectrum since I haven't walked in the other's shoes before. But ultimately, both have their ups and downs in specific areas. I wouldn't really say one has a leg up over the other.

Also, speaking as someone who's walked both sides of the spectrum.

Strangers as a whole treat you with more respect overall if you're perceived as male, and it also feels significantly safer walking about the streets alone.

That's probably just something to do with confidence. iirc majority of crime happens to male victims.

I'm a 6'2" white boy and I rarely feel comfortable walking streets alone.
