I hear it all the time around here. Many say that they'd just love to live their lives over again as a woman. But they don't get into any qualifications or specifics. They say, "I love lacy slips and pretty dresses, so I must really be a woman in my brain!!!" They have an affectation for the peripherals without really thinking about it.
Remember the legend of the monkey's paw? Be careful what you wish for, as you just might get it. So you want to be a woman, but you didn't say what woman, when, and where. We're all assuming that you'd do it all over again right here and right now. But what if that was not the case?
What if there were not pretty dresses, or lacy slips? No pantyhose and high heels? No lovely hair and fingernails? What if you had to live in Afghanistan? Or some little dirt-poor tribe in Africa or New Guinea? What if you had to live in 1670 in a Puritan colony where your daily life was full of labor and hard work, where you had no say in what happened in your life? What if it meant second-class citizenship with a husband that lorded over you?
Maybe it really is more the lace and the hosiery, the cute little skirts and the makeup. Maybe we aren't so much female in our brains, as we are just simply attracted to all the female trappings. Maybe some of us simply want to be girls so that we can play with all the girl toys, the clothes, the nails, the hair, the perfume, and the jewelry.
Think about it. Being a woman was never EVER so good as it is in Western Civilization today. Go back even a few decades, and the benefit drops off sharply. And even today, if you don't live in a developed nation in Europe or North America (and a few selected others), being a chick ain't such a great thing. So.....do you still want to be a woman? Any woman? Or do you just like all the trappings?
