As a woman, I like wearing nice clothes and smelling pretty and taking bubble baths.

I don't like that men often treat me like a child or don't take my ideas seriously.

What do real women like and don't like about being a woman?

Well, as a crossdresser, I love and am addicted to beautiful womens clothes and it's like 97% of my clothes shopping is womens! I love decking myself all out and admiring myself in a full length mirror!
Downside:
1. The generalization that if a woman is strong-minded, smart, independant and doesn't put up with foolishness, she is a ball-busting B**CH. If a man has those characteristics, he is respected.
2. Periods

Upside:
1. The house is my domain: Hubby gets the garage. (Fair trade)
2. Guys always underestimate us which gives us the upper hand.
My hubby is actually surprised when I can do "Man stuff" like change the battery in my car and actually know how to use power tools. If I don't want to do something, I can utilize the weak woman routine and sit back and watch hubby swoop in and save the day. My hero!

I don't think most women are like me in this aspect - but I dislike how household things fall to me, child bearing, child rearing, cleaning etc

I'm more career minded and really dislike how I have to stop MY CAREER/JOB to take care of things -

I hate making dinner - I hate doing the errands and being the one that remembers everything!!

I'd like my life a lot more without kids - I mean I love them to death - BUT I WANT MY LIFE BACK.

PS - I have a great husband that does do over 50% of the house work and child rearing (not the errands though) and for my part I pay a nanny and a house cleaner - I seriously hate that stuff.

I cant just let myself go and be an anti-fem on habits. It just looks like crap on me.

Hate:
-periods and the whole lot of problems from the stupid baby bucket works
- boobs - have you priced GD bras lately...Not to mention you HAVE to find one that fits correctly. I think this would drive any man insane.
- vanity sized stuff
- contradiction of expectations in EVERYTHING. Babies. work. life choice
- other women - Too old to be a tomboy now and I still hate socialization with females. I keep wanting to say "shut up"
- women have been shown multiple times to get paid less than males. (OBAMA OR McCAIN FIX THIS SH*t)
- You have to prove you know what you are talking about when getting anything fixed. Bfore that worker guys think lipstick = clueless broad.
I like you.

To add to this list (and its a long hate list)
I HATE when men think I can't lift something on my own.
I hate shopping
I hate makeup (refuse to wear the garbage unless you're special)
I hate shoes
I cant stand to be around other females for more than a half-hour.
I have never engaged in a "girls night out", nor do I ever plan to.
It always irritates the crap out of me when people expect me to want children because Im female.

Surprisingly though, I don't mind my period. It doesnt hurt, and never has.

-Looks-

Yup. Thats always been there.
Ive always been a tomboy...never had many females about while growing up, so I just didnt pick up on the "girl" stuff.
My bloody red monster just hasnt ever been all that bad. I dont cramp up all that much, just usually feel a bit tired and more irritated than usual for a day, and the rest only lasts 3-4 days. Not a big deal for me, and it lets me know that all the plumbing is as it should be.

We ladies don't care that much, but now the big cat, the lil' cat, and the rest of the animal kingdom can sigh in relief!

It's OK, hon'! I just meant the boys would love to know you've always been a girl! Plus, you don't go on shopping sprees - hey, you'll be the most popular gal ever!
