If you could, would you switch genders for a week?

[Fuzz]

Just to see what it was like?

[LeftyMom]

1. Not really. I have no interest in being masculine. nt

[ZombieNixon]

2. Nope.

I'm too in love with being a dude. :D

[MoseyWalker]

3. been there, done that

as they say so flippantly!

I wish sometimes that I had been born a dolphin.

[Mutley]

4. YES!

I've always wondered what it was like to be a guy.

:D

[bertha katzenengel]

5. In the words of my dear friend Rose:

Oh, HELL, no.

:hi:

[Jamastiene]

6. Of course.

I would enjoy it, I believe.

[hfojvt]

64. I think it would be an awesome learning experience

I am not sure why anybody would want to pass it up. I love the movies and TV shows where they try to explore it too. Same with books like "Black like me" and movies like "Soul Man". Part of it though, is physical. Is it great to be a guy, or is it great to be a studly guy? Is it great to be a woman? Is it harder or easier to be a 'sexy' (in quotes because there is more than one definition of sexy) woman?

One problem would be that a week would probably not be long enough, but if you went longer, you would risk a sort of Stockholm syndrome. A year, say, of being treated differently by the world, would change you - would change the way you saw and reacted to the world.

[crim son]

7. Absolutely.

I have always felt less feminine than other women. And I hate being treated as the lesser sex. I'd love to be a man for a week. Maybe it would make me bettter appreciate being a woman. Maybe not. And I know one guy I'd like to beat up real bad. :evilgrin:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. Yes, I would......

But I might like it sooo much that I'd never want to go back!

:rofl:

[u4ic]

9. Yes

I think it would be fascinating.

If it could be done - it should be mandatory. We could appreciate both genders that much more...:hi:

[Mz Pip]

10. Nah,

All that baggage hanging there would just distract me. Then I'd have to figure out what to do with it. It would be like being a lesbian for a week, except that I'd have a dick. I'd be really confused.

Mz Pip
:dem:

[blonndee]

15. No, you might be a gay guy.

But then you'd still have to "figure out what to do with it." :D

I do agree with the weird "baggage," though. I've always been like Elaine from Seinfeld: "I don't know how you guys walk around with those things."

[blonndee]

11. Do you mean "switch sexes?"

Like, would I want to be a guy for a week? TOTALLY.

[momophile]

12. Yes. I'd love to hear what guys talk about w/o women

around.

[Fox Mulder]

13. Nope.

[Oeditpus Rex]

14. Yup

It'd probably help me better understand women.

Then I'd write a book.

"Chick Like Me."

:rofl:

[LadyoftheRabbits]

16. Doubtful

I rather enjoy being female. :D

:bounce: :bounce:

[ZombieNixon]

19. Bounce 'em

:hide:

[LadyoftheRabbits]

23. ...

:o

:rofl:

I was wondering if anyone might see that reference. :P

:loveya:

[ZombieNixon]

24. Would I miss it?

:D

:loveya:

[youthere]

17. Not a chance. I like being a girl.

[Mojambo]

18. Nah. What if I liked it better?

Then I'd be in a fine pickle!

[barb162]

20. Maybe for a day

[zanne]

32. Me too.

I think I could handle being a man for a day.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

21. Sure, just out of curiosity.

Maybe find out what the big deal is about the sacred "family jewels."

[ContraBass Black]

22. No. I like my body, and don't want to leave it.

I'm especially fond of my voice.





Damn, I'm vain.

[last_texas_dem]

25. Yeah

Although I'm pretty sure I'd feel just as out of place among the majority of the members of my sex if I were a woman as I already do as a man. Both genders confound me, but maybe that's just because most people confound me.

It would be a relief to no longer be expected to care about sports, except in their place I'd be expected to care about fashion. (Bleh!) I'd like not having to shave my face anymore, except I'd now be expected to shave my legs. (And I think giving my hairy legs one good shave would cause me to go through three or four razor blades!) I wouldn't mind not being expected to act "macho" or assume some of the traditional male gender roles that most men and women continue to expect, but I can't say I'd really be looking forward to some of the stuff women typically have to put up with, either. But for a week- why not? It seems like it would be a learning experience at least!

[xchrom]

26. can i get back to you after i put on my mascara?

and i have this new shade of chanel lipstick i'm just dying to try out.

[ikojo]

27. Yes, and I would DEMAND that if I became a man

for a week, that a man become a woman for that same week. The man who became a woman would have to be a woman on her period..complete with PMS, migraine headache and the whole bit.

[Dangerously Amused]

29. Lol, my thoughts exactly. And I get to pick the guy who gets PMS.

Heh heh heh.




Poor bastard.

[Deja Q]

28. Sorry, I like my gender. However,

If somebody has an interest in it, I'm open to a little creative empathy... :D

[Omphaloskepsis]

30. I would love it...

if it made me better in bed. I wish my SO would spend a week in my body.

[Fuzz]

47. That's an interesting perspective

[driver8]

31. Definitely.

I wouldn't mind being a woman for a week. After I got done fondling my breasts, I might even venture outside the house!

[cobalt1999]

33. Yes, it would be interesting...

Plus, I'd get to be a lesbian for a week at the same time. How easy is it to pickup lesbians?

Of course, there is the insanity that comes along with being female...that could be rough. :)

[LaurenG]

34. I would

In fact my husband and I have talked about this before. He thought it would be fun to switch with each other...I was worried that he'd give me back my body a bit sore from handling "me" while he was in there. :rofl: Oh geez was that TMI?

[billyskank]

35. Probably yes

:hug:

[lovelaureng]

39. Hey, wait a minute,

I resemble that remark. :blush:
:rofl:

[billyskank]

36. I'm a Hindu. I figure that I've already done it

and will do it again. :hi:

[Random_Australian]

37. Aw hell, why not?

:)

[BarenakedLady]

38. Yes

I'd love to see what it was like to be a dude.

[femmocrat]

40. Yes and no....

Yes, to see how being a man would affect how I am treated at work. I swear women get the worst assignments and treatment while the men get all the cushy jobs.

No, because I think some male behaviors are well, kind of crude. With sincere apologies to the gentlemen in here if I offended anyone.

[ThomCat]

41. Yes, but not if I was going to have a period that week.

I have enough pain and cramping already. I don't even want to imagine having any more. x(

But other than that, yes, I'd be interested in experiencing the world from a woman's perspective.

[Fountain79]

42. Oh hell yeah...

just as long as it wasn't during the wrong time of the week. Would hate to deal with that.

[lizziegrace]

43. No

I'm quite content being me. :)

[Crazy Dave]

44. If I did with my luck it would probably be during..."that week"

So no.

[miss_american_pie]

45. Hell no

I'm good at being a girl. :)

[lizziegrace]

46. Yes, you are!

:hi:

[miss_american_pie]

48. Good morning lizziegrace

:hi:

[lizziegrace]

51. Good morning!

:)


:hug:

[terrya]

49. Of course I would.

Hell, yes, I would.

[graywarrior]

50. Yes indeedy.

[begin_within]

52. I would, except I can't decide which gender to switch to.

[NC_Nurse]

53. Definitely!

I'd love to test drive the equipment! :D

[begin_within]

54. Steve Martin said that if he was a woman,

he would always be playing with his boobs.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

55. Sure, why not?

I would probably be at an enormous loss as to what do to with all the extra packaging, but it would be a learning experience if nothing else.

But I would MANDATE that whoever is getting my female body gets it during just the select time. All men switching bodies must do it during that time of the month. :P :P :P

[Writer]

56. Yes, and if you don't mind, I would like to do that in approximately...

28 days. Okay? :hi:

[nini]

57. No.. I'm perfectly content the way I am

No need to find out what it's like to pee standing up. :D

[Book Lover]

58. Oh yeah

You mean people would listen to me without my Jessica Fletcher-cum-Rosa Klebb act? Sign me the fuck up!

[LeftyMom]

59. Yeah, the more I think about it the more I'm pretty sure it's a bad idea.

Especially the idea discussed upthread of switching bodies with a partner. I suppose the good thing is that I'd get mine back a bit thinner because somebody'd never quit playing with my naughty bits long enough to eat, but how frustrating would it be to always see some aspect of the object of my affections out of the corner of my eye? I'd never get anything done. Although being tall enough to reach the top shelf at the grocery store without climbing would be a nice change, as would getting checked out in public, which almost never happens to me.

[Nikia]

60. Why not?

It might be a good learning experience.
I know that it is purely hypothetical, but some people have done this by trying to pass for the other gender for the learning experience.
I don't think that I could pass. My body would look all wrong as a man and since I have really thin lower limbs, I don't think that I could pad it in a way that wouldn't look strange.

[HEyHEY]

61. Yeap

[Control-Z]

62. Ew

No way!!

[Zhade]

63. Yes, it would provide a lot of insights.

NT!

[tjwmason]

65. Definitely.

Be a fascinating learning experience...plus a chance for me to bed some of the gorgeous straight men ;)

[billyskank]

67. See, that's good practical thinking

:D

[Gidney N Cloyd]

66. Female for a week? With my luck I know what week I'd get...

[SKKY]

68. Absolutely....

....It could be interesting.

[Blue_In_AK]

69. No!

Why would anyone want to be a man?

[SmokingJacket]

70. Sure. Why not?

I think changing races would be educational, too.

[lildreamer316]

71. Probably.

I think it would be great for perspective.

[StellaBlue]

72. for sure

then my criticisms of masculinity would be both more correct and backed up by experience.

;)

[NewWaveChick1981]

73. If it was JUST to see what it was like, I would do it.

However, I really like being a woman, so I'd have to make sure I could switch back at will. :)

[Withywindle]

74. Oh HELL yes.

How can you not be at least a little bit curious?

Besides, I love new toys. :D

[speedoo]

75. Not for a week.

That's too short a time to do anything but get into lots of trouble and potentially screw up my mind.

A year might be enough time to gain some insight as to what being a woman is all about.

[smtpgirl]

76. Like HELL YEA

So I can make the same money as a stupid asshole male, that knows less than I do about how to run a Help Desk, I might add this, most men grovel at their customers feet, but don't solve the original issue, it's called "Fluff."

Women in the IT field are notoriously known to make MUCH LESS than their male counterparts, even though the women are more knowledgeable and skillful!!!

[sakabatou]

77. There might be some problems...

[Dem2theMax]

78. Heck yeah. I'd like to switch genders, race, religion, sexual orientation

you name it. It would be a wonderful way to see inside the experiences of other people.


Too bad we can't do it. The world would be a much better place if we could.
