No - I'm speaking from the research I did for class last semester and seeing
"Chicago" twice this past weekend.

Then there are women who use PMS to get chocolate!

Advantage:
I love being able to wear *anything* I want, any time I want to wear 
it. I can wear a men's business suit to work and get compliments; I 
doubt the man in the next cubicle would enjoy the same results from 
wearing a dress. <grin>

resp:4 I've been a card-carrying member of the "Period-Free Gloaters" 
club since 1995. I can't begin to tell you how wonderful it is...!

Another perk: Women are very unlikely to be color blind. It's another 
sex-linked thing.
Women have much better peripheral vision than men. Y'know the 
stereotype of the man checking out other women in public? Well, women 
do it too, but we don't need to look directly at the men we're scoping 
out. It harks back to when men evolved to be hunters, and needed 
predatory vision: straight ahead, excellent depth perception, and women 
evolved to be gatherers and the protectors of children: a wider field 
of vision to gather more info of the area.
Men can see farther, in general, but women can see more. As in, we have 
a larger focus point in the front of our vision.
Women have healthier hearts because we store our fat low on our bodies 
and men store their fat high.
Women have a pain threshhold that's about eight times that of a man's.
Women have a broader sense of taste and smell. (Again, evolved as 
gatherers, needed to detect poison.)

Yup, thought of another: Women can, basically, wear anything we want. 
Dresses, pants, suits, men's clothing specifically, or women's clothing 
that looks masculine. Women can wear makeup, jewerly, and perfume, or 
not, as they choose. Men have less freedom regarding clothing and hair, 
and other similar physical expressions of individuality.

yeah but we are talking about the *advantages* of being a woman ;)

I don't recall if this was mentioned earlier on in years past, but a definite
advantage to being a woman for me is being able to be affectionate with other
women without concerns about what is being thought about me.  This may not
be as significant for younger people, but it sure was when I was younger.
