Hello everyone!

A BIG question:
If you were born again and you could choose your gender, would you want to be a woman or a man?

I think that with all the difficulties of being a mother and a physician, I'd want to be a woman...
Although it could be fun being a man for few days, just to see how the other side feels like cool But I would't try it if I wasn't sure that I can return to my own self soon smile

How about you?

I would still choose to be a woman. I love being a woman, we (will) rule!!

I cannot imagine never growing and birthing a baby. This is when I really know how powerful being a woman is!

Anyone else?

While I wouldn't mind ditching the hormones :laughing: , I love being a woman.

It would be interesting to walk in a man's shoes for a day, but purely for anthropological curiosity. wink

Positively FEMALE!!!!!!!!

Haven't done the birthing thing yet, certain that will be a winning moment...
but something (2 things at the moment) that I appreciate about myself that is rare on the Y chromosome are:
1)multitasking
2)the ability to go between the right and left brain more quickly and readily than the average male bear

and I guess also along the lines of what Sethina said...that simple maternal instinct (although I have to say that I am blessed with a rather sensitive boyfriend...but don't tell his buddies that!!!)
