Funny.
This crazy topic just popped up during our conversation among colleagues in the office.
Say, if you have the choice (or chance), would you like to remain your original gender or become the other?
All the males opted to stay males, of course - as usual, due the pride and ego in being the more dominating sex, stereotypically, that is. There may be exceptions for special case(s), though.
Most females, including me, chose to stick to our feminine side.
"But, why? Females are the ones who suffer more in life!" we were asked - what with the most famous, monthly cycle thingy; having to bear children and give birth; the limitation in things we can do; and always the victim and preys in gender discrimination, sexual molestations, and the list goes on.
I'll tell you why. Yes, we may be generally and biologically, the weaker sex. Despite all these limitations, we are proud to be able to achieve what we have achieved, as women, throughout the human evolution and revolution - and we're still working hard and achieving more goals which would seem impossible and absurd for women to ever achieve, especially in the olden days.
Why work so hard?
One lecturer said, "Wanna be rich? Easy la. Just marry a rich man and enjoy life."
I said "No. So what if I ever marry a rich man? The wealth isn't mine, and I may not end up happy. I only find self-satisfaction from achieving my goals on my own effort."
He said "Good. I like the way you think."
During my job interview, my General Manager asked,
"So, you're married. Why do you want to work? Bruneians are well-off."
One, correction, not all the Bruneians are rich. They're only lucky they have a rich sultanate and do not have to pay taxes.
Two, (my answer) "I personally, am not the type who sits home and wait for my husband to feed me or the family. I want to work and cater to myself and my family as well."
I got the job I love. *Grin*
It's important for women to be able to stand on their own two feet.
Hell, yeah! We're singin'
"...If I wanted the rock you're wearing, I bought it. The house I live in, I bought it. The car I'm driving, I bought it, 'cause I depend on me..."
Yes, we may have to endure the monthly menstruation and ovulation cycle, but having to have that lets us know that our bodies are actually functioning well, the way we are created and as God intended for us.
Pregnancy and birth? Nauseas, cramps, spider veins, stretch marks... Sound familiar, Mummys?
Well, the wonder in discovering what your body can go through and produce really pays off, and Oh, the joy in holding your baby(ies) in your arms, and watch them grow! - Indescribable in words.
We may seem the weaker ones who suffer from most harms and prone to more danger. So, it's important how we carry and protect ourselves.
Oh, for the other few who opted to become males in their next lives, one gave the reason that she's tired of all the sufferings and heartbreaks she as a female, has to go through.
Another said she'd have to be a handsome male in her next life - reason being handsome men get all the chicks. Haha!
Hmm... I'd love to be a handsome man for a while, provided that all the unfaithful and ungrateful playboys become helpless females first. Time to taste your own medicine. *Evil grin*
LOL!
