Yes - but I think he knew that and was playing along with me!

DING DING DING DING DING! We have a winner, folks!

I edited out the "being emotional" part, because in my observation, men are much more emotional than women. They just express their emotionality in a different way. They're quick to anger, and some even are compelled to murder. If that's not "being emotional", I don't know what is!

The best thing about being a woman is being pregnant and delivering a baby. The worst things is having monthly periods and cramps.

This thread needs a theme song:

Good things:
more fashion choices
being able to get away with stuff because people under-estimate for being female

Minues:
people underestimating you for being female
the expectation that you are supposed to be nurturing and a caregiver

Being a woman sucks. Any woman who says otherwise is lying. The worst part of being female? Knowing that we will never be equal (but stupid enough to believe that if we keep fighting, we will).

Are you serious? How are women not equal? You have men lining up wanting to be with you, and you can just sit all high and mighty and sift through your suitors. Most women are on a big-time power trip.

I agree that back in the 1950s women were not equal. But today? Women have all the power these days. How much more power do you want?

It's a simple matter of biology. There are very few eggs and very many sperm.

Best: Not much.

Worst: periods, gyn exams, painful first sexual experiences, being valued mainly for our looks, vulnerability to sexual/physical assault and abuse at the hands of men.

Best: Being able to get away with stuff because of our sex. For example, I have never seen a guy talk his way out of a ticket.

Worst: PMS and menstrual periods. Sometimes it's so bad that I actually look forward to menopause.
