Being a woman entails a lot of pain and a lot of happiness. PMS and menstrual cycle are our number one enemies. Men come in second by inflicting on us the pains of child birthing - but that is also a good one. As a woman you been through enough discussions on who is better - man or woman. So, do you love being a woman? Or do you hate being one? Why? I love being a woman. We are honored to become the continuing force of our race by bearing children ;O) Do you feel that this is a burden for women?

I am a man, I think it is cool to be a woman. First, I have to mention different social values here in my country. Women in my country don't have to work hard, cause their husbands are out to make enough money to support the family, so all they have to do is to stay at home and take care of their kids. But nowadays things have changed, a lot of women are working outside just like men do. If I am given a chance to choose to be a man or a woman, I think I would rather be a woman, cause it is easy. lol

To nic_knick: Yes I know. That was why I added ";O)" to make you feel that I did not think that you meant war against women ;O) And I only meant that because women are lucky in your country then it would be good if you will still be born there ;O) To Sanjana: Yes, that is true. But we are strong ;O)

It might be easy to be a woman in your country but for everywhere else it is difficult ;O) so you have to wish hard so that if you are going to be born again in some lives in the future you would still be born in your country now ;O)

I can relate to that girl. I am a Chemist and know full well that I am as capable as any man. But I can't land the jobs that pay high because most factories hire MEN chemists ONLY. I know I'm better than most men in my field but they wouldn't give me the chance to prove myself just because of my gender.

I love being a woman. I sometimes wonder what it would be like if I had been born a male since I wouldn't have to worry about mother nature's monthly visit. But I enjoy being feminine. I like to look cute and I like to wear some pink on occasions. There's nothing wrong with being a man or female.

I love being a woman. Granted, there are certain things about it that are frustrating - PMS and monthly visitor, but those things aside, what's not to love? I love doing my nails and playing around with make up and clothes and shoes (love shoes!). Someday, I will get to be pregnant, and where a wedding dress and all the girly things that go with those events. Girls kick butt- says so on the T-shirt.

Dear friend, I love being a women, I had seen how happily my mum and sister used to be. They loved to their children to me and my father. Even they were respected many places. May they do not might have a freedom to go out during the nights or other awkward times. Still always there will be someone close to help most of women. Moreover I hope to give birth to a child is one of the greatest gift of God to women. May be men do not have that may I feel that because I am a male. Hence I love being women. There are many positive sides for women if born in a respectable family or society.

There are certain parts about it that I love. Getting dressed up, wearing jewelry, painting my nails. And certain parts of it I hate, my period, yeast infections, bladder infections, etc. But I wouldn't want to become the other gender if I had the option. I'm a woman, I've always been a woman, I can't imagine being anything else.

When I was younger I was always one of the guys and I hated the fact that I was different. Now I sit here in make up, dresses and high hills, but I still get to go to the car shows and play sports. I am so comfortable in who I am. I love being a woman and all the horrible things that go along with it.

I think child birthing is the worst thing that can happen to women. It's a double edged sword actually. But I like being a girl. We can order men to do things for us. And we don't need to always pay for bills. Plus all the lovely clothes! Still, this is the 21st century, so being a woman is equally as hard as being a man.

I love being a women with the exceptions of two things PMS & periods, but I guess you take the good with the bad. The good always out weighs the bad.

I love being a woman, I just don't think I could see myself as being a man. I love dressing up and looking all nice, so basically I love to get ready in the morning. Although, I too hate the pms and well I have not experienced child birth yet, I would love to be a mother and have the experience of having a baby growing in my belly and then giving birth to it.

I haven't been pregnant, too, but heard from a lot of friends that it's both painful and rewarding. I will still give it a shot ;O)

You know I can say I love being a woman but yet I hate it. The worst thing for me is them damn menstrual cycles. I truly hate them. I thought my cramps were bad before but after having a back injury they are nothing in comparision. I truly could live without T.O.M. every month. But then I guess no kids. Well I guess I can't have my cake and eat it too.

Of course I love being a woman. We bring art and form when men couldn't. It's just that few days every month that I don't like. Plus I hate it when the boy toy wants it and I always flatly refuse because it's uncomfortable to do it when I have it. We do have our burdens as women and it seems that in relationships we do a lot of sacrifices too. Men should never take us for granted, you know.
