Ever since they were young, society has treated Gg's different (I'm talking in general here. I know there are exceptions.). Mom and dad would hollar at the boys to take it easy on your sister. Open the door for ladies. Carry that for her. Give her your coat if she's cold (while you freeze your butt off), etc. etc. For instance I watch all the time as a GG and I will converge on the door at the same time and they EXPECT me to open the door and let them in first. They expect the man to get the drinks.
So when a man wants to emulate, be, or just experience what it is to be a woman (as much as can be) the Gg's don't understand. They don't understand that we haven't had any "perks" like you talk about. We don't get the attention like they do. We don't get the clothes options they do. We don't get to choose to put on make-up that makes us look/feel younger/prettier. Because they are use to it.
Yes, both sides of the fence experience different things. We just want to experience what is "normal everyday" to them. Good and bad. I've had bad hair days. Hate them, but glad I experienced them.
(O.K. flame away.
