Girls, Is being female as bad as it seems?

[Anonymous]

I see a lot of women complain about it and a lot of guys who say they're grateful to be male

It is that bad

It isn't that bad

Nah, I love being female. It has it's challenges and downsides but it's pretty great overall.

What about it is great?

Lots of things. Here are a few examples.

We are unlikely to be conscripted.

We always have some baseline value to society in our reproductive system, up to a certain age.

In the modern US, family law favors women to a strong degree.

There are far more gender based scholarships and business grants available to women.

There are many generous welfare programs targeted to single mothers.

Women tend to live longer.

We have far better clothing options, and we can crossdress (wear a suit and tie) without it being called crossdressing.

We have reproductive options men don't have.

Do you think it's all worth the physical disadvantages of being female?

[Opinion Owner]

What physical disadvantages?

[Asker]

Less upper body strength, shorter, less muscle mass, less energy, periods, pregnancy, childbirth

[Opinion Owner]

Childbirth is a choice, and a privilege. Periods are a pain. The rest are unimportant to me.

[Asker]

Why is it a privilege?

[Opinion Owner]

You wouldn't understand.

I am not complaining.
