OK, another hypothetical "what if" question:
Suppose you were a fugitive, running and hiding from the law. Would you live as a woman to disguise yourself?

Interesting hypothetical, but sure I might do that. It wouldn't be the first time someone has done that.
Here's a tougher question.
It is a well knows fact that women make about 70 cents on the dollar for the same jobs as men.
Would you accept a 30% pay cut to live as a woman.

I don't think it's a "well known fact", I think it's propaganda. Where I worked, there was no separate pay scale for men and women. Every one in the same job and the same length of service was paid the same. Now let's look at the Postal Service, police and fire fighters, etc. Same pay regardless of male or female. I don't think any employer could get away with paying men more than females for the same job. If you can provide a real world example, I would like to see it.Originally Posted by Robertacd

I'm thinking that if you are running from the law, you wouldn't be staying around people you know, I'm thinking you would move to another state and take on a new identity. That's where the living as a woman comes in.
Hell, I'm not running from the law and I'd like to do it. When I retire, I may consider moving and starting fresh as Nikki
Hypothetically running from the law in an alternate universe? I'd already be a hot woman. So, I'd disguise myself as a man.
U can't keep doing the same things over and over and expect to enjoy life to the max. When u try new things, even if they r out of your comfort zone, u may experience new excitement and growth that u never expected.
Challenge yourself and pursue your passions! When your life clock runs out, you'll have few or NO REGRETS!
First, the statistic isn't for a specific company but and over all average of income in the US. Second, 70% is no longer true it's closer to 80% but still women make less ON AVERAGE than men. And if you live in certain states it is worse than 70%the-simple-truth-figure-1.jpg From US Census data

The funny thing is, they did a "up to date" picture of what he MIGHT look like and it's not as a woman if they are thinking he's hiding out as one.
as for the question, I would never hope to be on the run from anyone so i can't answer yes or no.
Flip Flops were made for Beaches & Bath Houses, We have neither in 2017. Lose the flip flops!
Yes I would live as woman as a disguise but I hope I never get in that type of situation. I would rather make the choice of living as a woman without being forced to.
I have been single allmy life, and have found, that single women actually on average, make more, than single men do. i even heard that on a radio talk show a few times. It is just anti-male feminist political propaganda and lies, that women make less than men. i see women all over, in newer cars, and SUV's. i drive a 1976 Dodge. I suppose it i were running from the law, i would consider dressing up often, but at almost six foot six, and 255 lbs, i stick out bigtime!
I would hope that no one would ever do this. Every time a criminal is caught disguised as a woman it fuels the idea that all crossdressers are hiding out from the law.

Krisi,
Me running from the law, No, I would NOT disguise myself as a woman. Why? I could not pass, I would stand out, not blend in.. therefore caught very quickly.
But it would be a nice to dream...
As far as women making less than men due to bias or the system, this has been propaganda for decades.
It's really a matter of people's choices.

I have never worked a job where women doing the same work as I was getting paid less.
I'm not buying that pay gap nonsense at all because in 45 years working with women I have never seen it.
Hell I had to work in an office setting for a short time and I got paid less the the secretaries I worked with.
No, I wouldn't.
A serious fantasy for me, but one that the real world will not allow to happen for reasons good (family) and bad (mainly lack of funds and courage).

I generally don't participate in hypotheticals but I like this one. My answer is an unqualified yes. I think my makeup skills would greatly improve even if just out of necessity

I'm a yes...I mean it would only seem "natural" LOL
It depends, If I fully transitioned yes, otherwise no.
Please call me Jamie, I always_have crossdressed, I always will, "alwayshave".
H-m-m-m This thread is going in several directions at once.
I'm one of those responsible ones. I wouldn't be on the run from the law. I'm not being willing to become a criminal.
I would LOVE to live as a woman, but it's not realistic for me. Nobody would ever believe it. Now if LOTS of money and doctors were provided...
30% pay cut? While I figure that basic number fails to take into account a lot of factors, let's play with it...
(playing the "what if" game, and buying into the gender stereotypes for the moment)
will I be able to have men pay for my dinner, etc. on dates?
Can I move in with them, letting them pay the mortgage/rent?
Will men buy me drinks if I go to a bar?
Can I get boyfriends/husbands to get me Jewelry?
Clothes?
Would all these womanly "perks" come with the pay cut?
OK - back to reality -
If I could truly live as a woman, I'd happily find a career and lifestyle that I could live with. If it's less or more money wouldn't be the point. It would be the life.
I didn't mean to do that, just so many of these "could you live a a woman" question are simply not based in reality.
I have had some long conversations with some very smart women about being a woman. They all told me there is a lot more to being a woman than clothes and make up. The wage gap is one of the first things women working in predominantly male ares will point out. The first woman to point this out to me held a doctorate and made about %20 less that her peers. I see it right in my own company with the few female engineers there are.
Seriously, your company has separate pay scales for men and women?
That's illegal and these women could get the government involved and win a large settlement.
No, for me it would make it easier to be found as I'm out and more people know me as Jean a than as a guy.
No way! I think any man who is six foot tall and weighing 200 lbs would attract a lot of second glances when wearing a dress. I do recall reading about several bank robbers over the years who wore women's clothing and a wig while robbing a bank. Seems all were caught.

Why not let's give this a go what's the worse that can happen my wife find me or Johnny law??
I can't answer this one honestly because:
1) I'm not on the lam, and
2) I don't plan on ever being in that situation.
