I think I'd have the same difficulties as a woman but in different areas.
the biggest changes would be
the positives: - i can monetize my young, beautiful body and give clients erotic massages with a happy ending and get paid double at 20 years of what i make right now at 25. I'd be having much more money solving my life problems at a double rate, which leads me to a happier life 5 years earlier. monetizing sex isn't a problem for me since I'm a sexual soul. - i can get sex and love like almost on demand - "pussy pass" - in online dating i will have a full menu of candidates to choose from with 75% like rates, which most women got used to already. - and even if that fails i can comfortably become bisexual or lesbian. As a man I'm not comfortable being gay just from the thought of it. - able to store body fat in better places than men.
the negatives: - prone to be preyed on by creeps, rapists and losers. I'd have to take judo martial arts very early but let's be honest, I'd take on judo either way. - parents will be completely hell and insane, most likely i would get into STEM later in life than i myself did. - certain members of society trying to control women into oppression - being judged by physical appearances, which can sometimes take extra efforts
Id never want to be a woman because im proud a man; however being a female nowadays is the easiest its ever been. You dont have to look far to find stories of how privileged women are to day and many have no problem flexing that, the government will always side with females. Girls have always been brought up to be entitled to a certain degree (some way more than others). They still are today, the difference is with modern feminism not only are they still being brought up with that entitlement but add empowerment, supremacy, independence. What kind of attitudes are girl entering womanhood with? Just think about that for a while. How are these women going to treat men? Again you dont have to look far for a story of a woman flexing. How are men looked at nowadays? Men today are still expected to be the same gentlemen our fathers and grandfathers were still expected to shoulder the responsibility of keeping people alive and safe. Being a man in the times we live in is hard and thankless but at the end of the day no one else can do what we do at the capacity we do it✊.
You make more money, keep your family last name, your kids inherit your last name, you’re more respected, you don’t have to birth your children, you don’t have to deal with periods, you don’t have to deal with menopause, you aren’t discriminated for your sex.. I’d say you guys have life on easy mode.
Honestly, I don't think my life would be for the better if I were a guy. A black guy especially. I think it would be for the worse. I like being a woman. It comes with a lot of perks. Even being a black woman. I'm comfortable in my skin. I may not always attract the right guys, but I'm never without. I quite like being a woman. I don't have many women friends and for some reason most dislike me - I swear on my life it is not because I'm a horrible person. I'm a fairly nice person and have a huge heart that I wear on my sleeve. I think the friend thing is the only struggle I've had. I can even handle my period. Maybe, just maybe my life would be better, but I personally think I'd be worse off. I had a terrible father so if I were a guy, he'd be the person I'd traditionally "look up to" and that would be a disaster. I could become violent and abusive and my anger could be directed towards my family in a much more negative way than it is now.
@The_man_whol_aughs Being a black guy isn't horrible in itself. Being a black guy in the kind of household I was raised in is what would probably make my experience worse. I wouldn't have a good male figure to look up to. I would probably end up like my father. Worse, I'd probably end up a stereotype of the black man.
I'm not about to say who has the worst struggle. The realities and hardships of a black person is different from those of a Jewish person. I won't make a comparison because I don't know you're struggle personally and neither do you with mine.
@The_man_whol_aughs Oh shut up. While Jews are most certainly ostracized, they are not marginalized to the point that black people have been for centuries and still are. That’s ignorant.
Not to mention that the people who are never mentioned are the indigenous people of the US who are slowly dying out.
You’re a fool. Though blacks haven’t suffered the Holocaust, they have suffered lynchings, mobbings, demoralization, ostracism, and more in the past that has put them in the plight they are today.
Jews are still discriminated against but not to the extent of blacks today and other minorities.
There is sufficient evidence of the plight of the plight for blacks, latinos, Asians, natives and more in the US. Jews are here but there haven’t been wars started over them in the US.
Finally, your assumption that blacks hate Jews is erroneous. Do you not have the common sense to stop making false claims that include innocent people?
The War in Drugs targeted blacks people. Horrible medical studies targeted blacks people. The reason why most blacks are in poverty today is because they weren’t allowed to open savings accounts and more to help future generations. The incarceration rate of black men is more than any race and is attributed to them getting higher sentences than white men. Untrue racial bias which makes people fear blacks. Non felon black men are less likely to get a job than felon white men. Black women are considered jezebels and assumed to be extremely unattractive based on stereotypes. Lack of health sustenance attributes to damaging health in blacks (by this I mean that there aren’t healthy grocery stores in black communities and many can not go and access them. Plenty in white communities though). Inequality of education.
There is plenty. You’re wrong. I’m done responding.
I grew up as a lusty female with a boys name, so I actually (in many ways) got to grow up as both genders and am currently an androgynous female. I can tell you this. Gender does affect perception immensely because of this cultures views towards the different genders. And BIOLOGICALLY there aren't just two. More like 13 or something. And then you get into how one feels inside and the whole mess gets bigger. But you can't really know unless you are androgynous or that gender. And even though I was a tomboy awaiting Lolita status when puberty hit, I can't know what it is like to actually be a man. But my name thing (Ryan) has helped get jobs and other things I believe. Imagine their surprise when a chick shows up and you've only been pursuing through email. Lol.
I'd honestly love to switch places. I feel in some ways there would be more struggles but in others I would feel more freedom and wealth of emotion. I think expression would be much easier and being comfortable. I also feel like a lot is expected of my gender where there is a lot for a girl to experience but there is also a lot of support which is not always true for guys. There are many reasons for me but I don't see a realistic way for that to happen so I struggle to comprehend what I have been given and work my way through it
With #Metoo, Male Hatred (Misandry), Toxic Masculinity and Biased Family Courts, I'm glad I DIDN'T have a Son! I do have a grown Daughter (unmarried & no Boyfriend). Women have the advantages... but at a cost. She and other young women painfully long to have a Boyfriend. The Gender Ratios and dynamics so skewed that 1 in 4 young women will NEVER have children. And Men are walking away. The Article below has much more info.
@Anoniemus Biased... no one should take anything from there? Really? Just because they post an Article speaking to Men's Issues? How dismissive of you! You didn't even read the Article. The Author is from the UK. He references sources from Germany, UK and the United States. The problems my Daughter has will not be solved by looking for a non-American since the problems I described are experienced by Men across Western Countries.
Breitbart is a site that is heavily biased. You’re also making assumptions. There isn’t anything wrong with speaking about men’s rights and that’s not why I said what I said.
The site is not reliable and heavily impartial. No competent person would utilize it as a source because it is heavily biased.
@Anoniemus Did you even read the Article? Will you read the Article? Since it appears on Breitbart, you just won't? I submit that you are still being dismissive.
Why would I read something from a heavily biased source? It is likely to be untrustworthy. It’s irrational. Yes, non-ignorant people dismiss sites that pander to bias. They might have few articles that are legit but the source is one that is not to be trusted.
I feel you’re commuting confirmation bias. Use a better source.
@Anoniemus You have confirmed that you are unwilling to read the Article. That's willful ignorance. A better approach by you would have been to read the Article and counter with citation. It's called making a counter argument.
No it wouldn’t. It would have been better for you to not use a biased source as evidence because it gives you less credibility. That’s like me using a source from some other hate website and using it as “proof”. The source is not credible and therefore no attention should be brought to it.
Fact checkers utilize this method when perusing facts especially when they know a site is heavily biased.
No period or PMS symptoms.. never worrying about getting pregnant.. no menopause.. taken seriously at work.. less sexual harassment.. getting ready faster.. orgasming easier so sex is rarely disappointing... I can go on to all the ways mens' lives are just simpler
Guy's goes through something similar to menopause. very few mention it or think it's something else.
Taken seriously has more to do with how you are as a person and how you communicate. Seen to many guy's that doesn't get taken seriously in the same manner as some girls.
More men then you realize get sexual harassed on a regular basis by female's when they work.
Orgasm is mostly to do with our minds how we communicate and what we do ourselves. (mental issues, assumptions, how we see on thing's, limiting beliefs) A lot of guys suffers from mental related dysfunction just like females. guy's that fake orgasm or for that matter doesn't get that much out of it.
Guy's lifes are about the same as female's. most thing's hangs on what we choose both mentally and what to do. Most thing's female's think they must do to be accepted is unnecessary thing's they create themselves just like many guy's do with some thing's.
Most thing's becomes as difficult unpleasant as we choose to perceive it 😉
@crazy8000 live one day as a woman and you would think differently. You can’t say things are the same it’s just how you perceive it if you haven’t experienced life as a woman.
So a girl with a nice attitude won't have period cramps and won't experience pain during childbirth? Wow you as a man have taught me so much about my own body 😒
If you were a man you would have to worry about crazy women who want to destroy your life. There are always false rape and/or sexual harassment allegations. Mandatory signing up for selective service. Being expected to die for others. If you show any signs of being hesitant you are labeled a pussy or a coward. Getting fucked over in family court. Institutionalized misandry.
@joeblow123 You're examples and mine are very different because all those aren't things that have happened to YOU. Just things you heard have happened to men. My examples come from real life experience of EVERY woman including myself. These are things that will 100% guaranteed happen to you if you turn into a woman
Live one day as a man and you will think differently. You can’t say things are the same it’s just how you perceive it if you haven’t experienced life as a man.
Try shaving your face everyday. Keeping your hair short on a regular basis. Imagine someone of the same gender shit talking you. If you a woman you can walk away and no one would think less of you. That is not true for a man. Imagine being required by law to sign up for the military draft.
Taken seriously at work. You mean like the denials of a falsely accused man of sexual harassment in front of the HR department.
@joeblow123 you’re just proving my point. Life would be drastically different if you were born with a different sexual identity. Thanks for agreeing :)
Yes, of course it would be very different to be a guy. I think it would be easier. It would be nice not have to stress as much about body shape, not have to deal with menstrual stuff, not have to style hair every day, easier to get dressed because the clothes would be simpler, wouldn't have to shave body, not expected to be a great cook, and I would enjoy having the lead role in dating.
Every single one of them. Nobody makes you do any of that, and trust me when I say not all women do those things. It’s not about gender, it’s about individual.
@Gavyn There is societal pressure on women for these much more then men. For men, it's normal to not shave their legs, to have a shaved haircut, wear plain baggy clothes, and let women do the cooking. And men don't even have boobs or butt to worry about the shape of them. I'm not sure why you can't see any of that. And yes, it is very much related to gender.
There’s also societal pressure to live life how you want, how hard!!! The only pressure regarding those these days is the pressure to break free from them. Ughh
Id probably be a successful, flamboyant, well dressed gay man, most likely working for some snazzy design company and have a cute little dog and a really overly good looking boyfriend and a beautiful flat. But my dad would be disappointed as fuck as he'd probably try to spoil me to death and make my stisters treat me like the king he expects to be treated like himself and push all his dreams and expectations on me.
I have an ex that has similar motivations as I do; however, her useful actions become converted into emotional waste. So, basically I would simply have all my drive converted into worthless emotions and so flounder with a clt-dck and another hole as she does.
I think the things I would love would be having long hair to style and the variety of clothes and accessories I could wear would be awesome. As men we're kind of limited in that department. There isn't much variation in style.
As men you get propositioned less so you're less likely to say no. As a woman it's a common occurrence so you learn to be more particular. So there's that as well.
I know woman are far more likely to he harassed and are limited by society but ibe got to say I have thought about whether I'd prefer life as a woman more than once. I tend to have deeper emotional connections and therefore friendships with women over men.
It's a fact of life that women are discriminated against more than men. It works both ways sure, but disproportionately affects women, especially non-white women due to the historical dominance of white males in shaping the world.
I'm not saying all feminism is good, far from it. Nothing is ever 100% good and the borderline revulsion of modern day society towards white men is not exactly helpful despite being founded in a real sense of injustice.
I try not to speak from ignorance but I studied history at degree level and specialised in the emergence of proto-feminism in Victorian society so I like to think I understand at least a little, from an outsiders perspective, the continuing struggle for equality that women face.
I fear that I would be a total ho. Like, even as a male, my hormones and feelings are bursting. I want all day and night romance till I got bored, then I want intercourse day and night. I feel like an animal on heat. Not showing it to anybody though. So, perhaps harder. Because it is hard to find proper, clean living among world of pigs.
if I were the same me but as a guy, I would assume that I had more friends in school and that my mother would have liked me and my father would have been the same but disliked me more and I would have been either a virgin shy boy or i would have spoken more and became a good friend
Yeah maybe. My mum said she would've probably named me something along the lines of 'Amber'
Not just that, but I would've have been brought up, very similarly to how I was as a guy, except with slightly different toys, perhaps? I'm not sure, but I feel like I wouldn't be too different in the way I act
I think my life would be a whole lot different. It's kinda hard to imagine myself as a boy but I know that I wouldn't have to deal with periods or cramps. I feel like in some ways it would easier cheaper being a guy but in some other aspects they'll be other things expected of me. Honestly I would stay a girl
Loads different Im sure. And it would be both easier and harder but in different settings. But overall I think its not going to get any better for me regardless of my sex. I am still the only one in my way, everything else is an excuse in perspective.
I don't know, i guess i would still have the same hobbies, musical taste and would have chosen the same job, since all these things i didn't choose because of being a man.
BUT a lot of stuff came with friends that introduced me into these things in the first place, so i guess its more of a question how my life would habe turned out with different friends or if i had made the same friends as a girl/woman...
I can't even begin to imagine. I'm certain it would be radically different. I just don't know how it would be different, just completely different. Well, I wouldn't be the same person anyway for a start. I'd be a completely different person, different hormones, body, etc.
My name would likely be different, my childhood interests different, etc. I'd just be a totally different person, maybe like my sister. She's totally different.
As for easier or more difficult, again no idea. I'd be dealing with a totally different set of life experiences, hormones, thinking patterns, interests, struggles, etc. I make no assumptions here.
Well, for the careers or communities I’d want to get into, they would probably be infinitely harder if I was a woman. Also, I don’t know how I would be with a woman brain, so I might not even find my current careers all that appealing.
Probably fairly comparable in a lot of ways... though I doubt I’d have ended up in the firefighting and Mma side of things if I was a woman. Mma having been very impactful on my teenage years and development.
Being a woman would be so fucking easy. Download Tinder, choose some guy from the menu, have him pay for everything. Whine about inequality, get a job I'm not qualified for.
Men and women have struggles they share and struggles that are separate, and trying to compare which pain is worse never works out well. Just a matter of perspective. That said, I'm pretty happy being a guy. Seeing as how most women in my family turn out, I'm glad I'm not them. (Not that they're bad people by any means, just not my cup of tea.)
Definitely! I would’ve lost my virginity as a teenager, I’d have a partner every minute of my life if I wanted (because if I broke up with one, I’d use my looks & flirtations to obtain another man), and I’d probably have a large group of party friends even if I was incredibly boring 💁🏻♀️💁🏻♀️💁🏻♀️
In some ways I think it will be harder and maybe a little easier in some ways I don't think my life and aspirations would be to different I know how I dress and act a little would be different also if I did turn into a man I would be pissed if I was still attracted to men♀️♂️
