Joy of being a woman

Why do you think we should appreciate being women? What is good about being women? Maybe even: What advantages do we have over men, if any?

 

One thing in particular I can think of right off the top of my head is experiencing the joy of feeding a baby from the nourishment of my own body. I don't think anything can beat that feeling.

 

being a girl rocks.
Things mean more, you get to say what you mean and talk about feelings. Shopping is more fun and we don't smell.

I guess people treat you better as well. You don't have this weird thing were you need to hit everyone and we can do guy things without being called gay.

Even that once a month thing isn't that bad really.

We girls rock

 

one thing thats nice is that we are aloud to cry and not be called a wuss. We have that reasuring easy touch. No man can have that touch. Like when a guy brushes or does your hair. Its kinda rough and just not as good as when a girl does it, nice and easy car feeling. I think its better being a woman and we should most definently take pride in that.

 

We're sensitive and emotional and I think thats a special thing. I think we also think about a lot of things. We are also beautiful creatures. Its also really fun to be a girl because we can dress up and look pretty. Of COURSE men can too hehe

I love being a girl!

 

i love being a girl and all the entitlements that come from it , but i hate how men depict us and sometimes treat us. it is rare that we find a partner who will treat us the way women should be treated. i love how i can cry, without the fear of other women looking down upon me and thinking i am "weak".

but sometimes it would be nice to not have the menstraul cycle and all its side effects, and to play hard core sports, be one of the guys haha.

but otherwise i love the gift i was given and would not change it for the world.

 

haha amen!

 

Well, the orgasms come to mind immediately. How can a man's be as good? Maybe they are but I'm pleased with my lot. Other than that:

It's easier to earn people's trust. I have access to more knowledge in many cases.

People I don't know are not afraid of me. I can talk to anyone alone without them worrying I'm going to assault them. If someone were to harass/assault me in a public place, someone else would probably help me.

I'm never randomly accused of rape, pedophilia, or sexual harassment.

I'm allowed to take "me days", paint my toenails, wear lots of pink, smell pretty, touch people, drop everything to pet a kitty, take long bubble baths, stand in front of mirrors at clothing shoppes for extended periods of time checking out my own butt, ask for help getting heavy things down from shelves, get my hair done and tell everyone about it, and buy myself flowers.

I get to date men. I know some men also get to do that but I get a bigger selection.

People automatically assume I want chocolate. And I do! That's just convenient.

It's okay to be bitchy occasionally, it's expected.

I sometimes get discounts and free stuff.

 

we get to pee sitting down!!

 

lol, this is a cute thread!
The first thing that came to mind for me was being able to carry a baby, and nourish it after its born. I just find pregnancy amazing, and I feel so privledged to be able to do something so important and magical. And then getting to be the mother afterward. Men just don't have that same soft comforting touch that a woman can give her family to make them feel comfortable, or make them feel better when they're sick or hurt.
The only thing that sometimes sucks is the whole body image thing. But with the exception of that, I think being a girl is soooooo much better!

 

Women control the media. Think about it.. beer? women in the commercials. men magazines? Women on the front. Cars? Women half naked on top of them. Why? To sell. And when it comes to girls? We decide, what WE want. Come on, most surveys are for women. Single mothers. because we do the grocery shopping, and we decide what shampoo our husbands use.. we want a pink tampon, all we have to do is bring it up eventually, and they'll sell it. Ha. I love it.

 

Very good, that is the point I was making. The rest of your post was a bit "after school special" for my tastes but I'm willing to forgive you if you buy me something shiny.

On topic:

I am confident that no one will ask me to be a pallbearer.

 

Did someone let the Devious Tyrant boys out again?

 

Okay now you gotta buy me something for each of your screen names.

 

no girl truly knows what it's like to be a guy. that said i don't know the perks of being a woman, or a wallflower. anyways, there are many perks to being a man too, such as knowing that you're going to survive because if somebody does try to kill you you are going to beat the crap out of him. most of the women wouldn't be able to protect themselves.
love is great, but survival is more important, love is secondary.
with that, i think there are tons of perks but i can't personally speak for any of them. in fact i have no idea what it's like to be a woman but i obviously, as an imaginative person, think about what it's like, by putting myself in people's shoes.
finishbutterfly made me want to puke in somebodys face, but i guess she's just saying what she thinks. Sry.

 

Hey Aesther, I didn't mean it was a good thing, but it's true.. I have many friends in the advertising business so I know a lot of what goes on. I didn't even get into a quarter of it, and yeah, it's dumb as hell. And you probably would be able to fight off someone, but that's because women (nobody shoot me for this) Women from the beginning of time, they were the gatherers, and the men, they were the hunters. Its like my husband and I made a deal, I told him he needs a room in the basement for his pool table and whatever else he wants. As long as I get to decorate the room whatever I want. Before we got married we made the deal I said, "You bring home the bacon, and I'll cook it."

It's not that we're sexist, it's that I know what I wanted to be as a woman, and he knew what he wanted to be as a man. I can guarantee you if a woman REALLY wanted to be a VERY STRONG warrior she'd gain the muscle and be able to kick some ass. Hardcore. I've seen it. My aunt's name was Hulka that was the most frightening picture I had ever seen in my life. Good luck though

 

I love that wherever I go, men will open/hold doors for you, buy you a drink, take care of you.

I love that I can be soft, warm, and motherly.

I love the sex appeal of being a woman.

I love bein able to be 'one of the guys' but be extra girly too.

 

i love being feminine, the clothes, the dresses, the shoes, my husband is always saying "theres way better clothes for girls than guys!" he loves to shop for me more than himself. being able to be a mother, feeling your little one move in your tummy for the first time, being one with your child for the 9 months is so amazing, and being the one that they come up to for comfort and nurturing them. I love being a woman. but most of my friends are men, and i am one of the guys, but just like cate, im still very feminine, and its just great.

 

aww

shopping, girls seem to have more choice!

painting my nails bright colours
