Good outweighs bad

Bad outweighs good

honestly no idea if bad outweighs the good or vice versa because i can't know what it's like to be a dude so i can't compare

the advantages i can think of are:

- you dont need to hide your emotions, no one will ever bully you for crying. people are there to help you or comfort you in need, even strangers. people are more careful not to hurt your feelings too

- you can like dude stuff, be tomboyish and all and its more of a good thing to most people. you're not going to be bullied for liking dude shit or cutting your hair short

- stranger's and people look out more for you. like for ex if you're drunk in public someone is much more likely to protect you and even call a taxi for you or stuff like that. if your a guy people just leave you there unless your 15

- if you want to be hoe you can be hoe easy. honestly as long as your at least average looking you could in theory just ask a dude if he wants to bang and he's down for it basically. also its very hard to come accross as creepy, rapey or all those things if your a girl (sadly even if you are behaving like that). also for dating its more likely people will pay your food, also when you to bars or clubs it's common for people to buy you drinks

- you can't get hit by dudes without them having serious problems if people find out

- if your homeless or broke you can get yourself out of the situation easily by using your body or by dating someone

- no one questions you when your around kids. i know if your a guy and you talk to kids some people can be sus of you

- you can like/do more childish or youthful stuff if you're in your 20s. like you can sit on a swing on your phone, own cute plushies or eat dino nuggets, and its considered 'cute'. if a guy does it's creepy and cringe

- people are less sus of you in gen and not really scared of you, so you're trusted a lot more for stuff. also if you do something bad or even criminal people are more likely to believe someone bad happened to you that made you that, or that you're going through something mentally, than to thing you're actually bad

for the disadvantages:

- even for average girls, you have a lot of uncomfortable situations with dudes on the regular. sometimes can go as far being followed, groped in public, being yelled at and threatened because you didn't want to give someone your number, etc..

- you get hit on a lot, and a lot of guys (continuing a bit on number 1) get mad or upset when you turn them even respectuflly. some will ask you over and over again until they think they can get a yes, some will insult you, some will throw even a temper tantrum. yea. some dont even take sometimes totally reasonable excuses (you gotta give them excuses) like having a boyfriend or them being too old/young for you, etc which is especially uncomfy when you're 17 and they're 40 and they dont get why you dont want to f*ck them lol (true story, dont get how their brains work)

- your respected a bit less than dudes, and considered a bit less helpful and reliable in certain situations

- a lot of dudes dont believe you can like guy stuff and if even if you the most about a certain dude subject in the room, people will take what you say with a grain of salt and will have to verify that you actually about said thing. there's so much gatekeeping sometimes. and then there's people who will believe you like said dude subject just to impress boys or for your boyfriend but because you have estrogen you can't truly like that

- you have higher beauty standards. like if your a guy, you can be chubby, plain looking, with shitty clothes, and acne, but if your a girl god forbid your that. you need to be as pretty as you can, super skinny with big boobs and a fat ass, clear skin, perfect hair, perfect clothes, etc

- you have periods and are the ones that need to get pregnant. also once the kids are born your most likely the one to take the most care of them even if you work more than the guy

- even if you also have a full time job, your most likely the one to take the most care of household stuff. so often even after your tired from work you can't rest you gotta cook, clean and take care of the kids

- once you get to a certain age a lot of people consider you useless. while dudes of the same age aren't at all

- your weaker physically than guys. so if a dude wants to throw some hands you gotta run, you can't stand your ground. also you're more likely to be targetted for mugging or stuff like that because you can't fight back

My personal opinions fyi:

Good:
-Treated gentler than men
-Can make money just from my looks
-Not feeling the need to make the first move in relationships
-Dating apps are so easy. God, they're easy. I downloaded Tinder and within 12hrs went on a date
-I can let my emotions out shamelessly

Bad:
-Rampant sexism. And I'm not talking about the 'stay in the kitchen' thing. But men saying 'all women _' and hating all of us for that
-The constant shame around sex
-Having to essentially ruin your body to be a mother
-Fear of aging. Because I keep getting told my life is over when I'm 30 by the incels of the world
-Being treated as a sexual conquest and not a person by *some* men
-The lovely monthly visitor
-I was told 5 or so times when I first went clubbing how to avoid my drink being drugged
-The social pressure to always compete with other women

I can think of 3 things that I enjoy about being a woman. And I can think of over 5 things that make me not like being a woman, and make me jealous of men. So the good doesn’t outweigh the bad for me.

[Asker]

What three things?

[petitedollbabee]

Well one, lack of mess with orgasm. As a guy, you ejaculate. Women don’t have that bodily function. Two, better general pain tolerance, especially when it comes to tattoos. And three, staying colder for longer. Guys usually feel the heat more, and their body struggles to cool down. Women usually have the opposite struggle, and personally I enjoy having cold hands and feet 90% of the time.

[Asker]

Would you have rather been male?

[petitedollbabee]

Yes.

[IslaTheWitch]

I don't find anything bad in being a woman. To be honest I enjoy being one... :D

I'm not sure what you mean by "privileges and advantages". I don't think there are any.

[Bethany22]

I guess good outweighs bad. I like the way we're not expected to be fearless and push ourselves in unsafe situations.

[Justmisscurious]

Privileges: I have gotten things for free/gotten free passes/perks.

[Justmisscurious]

I think women have a better advantage in relationships and marriage. In most cases. We aren’t expected to be the “head of the household” or the “provider”. We can live what some internet people call a “soft life”.

[Asker]

What about the negatives?

[Apple1996]

I like being a woman so the good outweighs the bad

[Ms_Facesitter]

I can wear all kinds of clothes and colors without getting judged. More orgasms. I don't think it outweighs the bad.

[Nikki1989]

What privileges and advantages?

[PrettyCrumblBb]

I'm pretty so everybody is nice to me.
