Advantages of being female

Okay i just read the item about disadvantages of being female. There were many
good points, but i think that there are alot of advantages of being female.
If anyone can think of any advantages of being female, i'd appreciate it if
they entered them here. I guess i'll start.

The first advantage that i can think of is women are able to have children
and the second is once a month (up until a certain age) women are given a
reason to be in a shitty mood if they want to be.

Nobody is afraid of you raping them. It is easier to talk to strangers.

It is? Easier to talk to strangers? Wow. I think I'd find it easier if I were
male. Because I wouldn't feel afraid of strangers if I was a man, and bigger.
And Maryeliz, I would NEVER call that time of the month a blessing. I
*finally* got rid of it a year ago next month (surgically), and I am so much
happier and healthier that I could dance in the streets! (You have to
understand that I was the unfortunate possessor of periods that lasted 8-9
days and were heavy flow for most of that time and were less than three weeks
apart. My doctor said I was literally bleeding to death. And I was. So forgive
me if I don't think of that as any kind of advantage!)
Um. Advantages to being female? Giving birth is kind of cool, yes. and
breast-feeding is also rather nifty.

re 3- I never called it a blessing, i called it a reason to be in a shitty
mood if we want to be. And i swear you and my mom should start a club for
women who no longer have periods and gloat about it. My mom gloats about it
almost every month and it makes me sick. And btw, i praise you for being able
to go through periods that lasted over a week.

Advantages of being female? Some are sexist, but who cares?
Upon exiting a bar with a group of guys, I had a flat tire. Those guys would
never have dreamed of having me change my own tire.
Guys hold the door for you - and if you hold the door for thet, they think
it's a huge deal.
Guys never expect you to pick up the check - and are shocked when you do.
Guys expect women to be irrational - so when we aren't, they practically fall
at our feet.
The only reason I could ever dream of being a man is so that I could make some
serious cash playing professional sports.
