I think I have an idea of the one advantage over men that can't be discussed. What would be classified as "dirty", anyway? There's nothing dirty about natural things!

Stumpy I like your list. I can add to it on a bit of a more morbid level. Men have only two gender specific cancers to worry about. Testicular, and prostate.
Women have breast, ovarian, uterus, and cervical cancer to worry about that I can think of off the top of my head. I'm sure there is probably at least two others in the women area that I can think of.
Not to mention yeast infections (and others in that area) and postpartum depression to tick off a few other fun medical conditions that women have to deal with. Lets not forget all the cysts in our women areas, too.
And how about the unrealistic beauty standards women feel they have to live up to to be attractive to men?
Ain't it grand to be a woman!!

I actually would not be a man if I had to chose. I dont have to do the heavy lifting, and if DH isnt around to do it you can bet his brother does the lifting for me. I get to be "dumb" (only when I chose to be) and its ok he just does it for me. He works more hours and a harder job than I do. "Half" of the bills means I pay the cell phone and car payment...he pays the house, power, gas, and loans and still tries to give me money. I get to dress in frilly things if I want, I get to make all the decisions about the color of the living room walls and what sheets we sleep on, he just cares that there is a recliner in said living room and as long as theres a bottom sheet I dont think he even knows there IS a top sheet on the bed... and if I tell him its "that time of the month" he brings home chocolate and flowers just in case I got mad while we were at our seperate jobs today. I get to cry and get my way, I get told I'm pretty by my kids every day, and I get to sit in DH's lap...he does not fit in my lap. I like being a girl.
 
I like being a girl too.

It's amazing to have the ability to grow a baby in your belly, give birth to it, and then nourish it for more months while nursing, and watch it grow fat rolls, knowing you were solely responsible for turning a few cells into a chubby baby.

I also like staying home and taking care of babies, gardening, grocery shopping, cooking meals, etc. I could finish my degree and have a career if I wanted to, but I don't want to do that at all.

It's rough being a hormonal teenager. Really rough! But once you're past that, even though you still have female problems to deal with, it all ends up being worth it!

Our society seems to have a hang up on sexuality...I know in Europe there is a lot more nudity. I even went to a nude beach once in Canada! (By mistake, on a family vacation.

) I don't think they have more nudity because they have less self respect or anything along those lines, it's simply because it's not a big deal to them. No one is thinking of it sexual terms or being immodest because it's normal there.

I don't think I would want to be a man either. I like being female. There are many perks to being female, as outlined above. I like make-up, I like glittery shiny stuff. I like high heels, and skirts, and getting a pedicure.

I do a lot for myself and don't use the traditional female weakness as a crutch. But I like knowing that he would do it for me if I asked him to.
 
When my hubby makes cracks about my moods & PMS, "Oh, is there a reason you are cranky?", I remind him that there are only a couple days a month that I am as crabby as he!
