I Want to Become a Woman! – Mental Health Through Manga

It's a privilege to be able to have a child.

It's something men can't do... you're just reasoning from your male oriented world.

1. privilige
2. applies to men too
3. men are more likely to get their ass kicked than women have of any kind of physical violence
4. a convient excuse
5. sperm eww..
6. but more flexible and requires less food
7. depends on the country, being away from work for child birth/raising doesn't count.
8. see #1, it's not mandatory btw
9. & 10. mehh...

Try standing next to a guy and woman fighting (no matter the odds) witout trying to stop it, and you're a bad man. Watch a guy and a guy fighting and you ain't so bad. Also, ever tried to wear a dress in public?

Also you can throw a tantrum when you're angry, throwing things and and hitting guys is acceptable.

1. Pregnancy is completely optional. In addition that, law favors mothers when it comes to e.g. who gets custody of a child.
2. Men can also have such obsession. Also, women don't always have any.
3. Proof? Or maybe men wont simply talk about it? Also, men are probably more likely to be drugged (and then abused) since women can't overpower them. You should also note that men have a MUCH higher chance of being convicted of rape than women. Same for other crimes, but with rape it's far more pronounced.
4 & 5. Men also have biological weaknesses like that. For example, getting kicked in ones balls hurts quite a lot. Women don't have such a problem. Also, men have a higher sex drive and without sex (or masturbation) they can more easily become depressed. Men also have less of a chance of being laid than women.
6. Higher average lifespan.
7. Give me proof that: A) The quality of work women do (working hours, results) is the same as men's, B) they ask for raises and such in the same way and as frequently as men, C) they have the same qualifications as men and finally D) they get paid less. There's no way you can prove those. Also, the (not so credible) studies that have found proof for the "pay gap" have been mostly based on methodological errors.
8. ... Do you think they go to school when they're 2-4 year-olds or something? Anyways, getting a child is completely optional.
9. This is just an excuse for women for being weak. The strong will succeed, whether they are men or women. The opposite is also true, for both men and women.
10. Men are biologically programmed to have sex with as many women as possible. Women are programmed to have sex with one and stay with him. This has shaped the popular opinion, and for a good reason.

Socially acceptable behavior is still much more of a pro to women and a con to men, right?

I wouldn't mind being a man or a woman. All that really matters is your thoughts and actions, not your gender.

1. Completely optional, could be seen as a privilege, and because of this mothers are favored by law when it comes to child custody. In addition to this, men can easily get kicked in the balls for similar experience, but this is rarely optional.
2. This concerns many men, too, and not all women.
3. In contrast, men are MUCH more likely to be convicted of rape. Also, men getting raped is underreported because of societal pressure. It could also be said that men are more likely to be drugged and then abused since women can't overpower them.
4 & 5. Men also have biological weaknesses, such as a much bigger need to have sex (or masturbate), which leads more often to depression than in women, and also men are less likely to get laid - a lethal combo.
6. Longer lifespan, less need for nutrition, more flexibility...
7. The not-so-credible studies on this could easily been subject to methodological errors. If you can prove that A) women work the same amount and get the same results, B) have the same qualifications, C) ask for promotions, raises etc. in the same way as men and as frequently as men and D) that they still get less pay. One of those (A,B or C) almost always explain the pay gap. Or maybe you have *credible* proof of the contrary?
8. ... Do you think they start school when they're 2-4 years old? Anyways, completely optional.
9. Just an excuse for women for being weak-willed. The strong will always succeed, whether they are men or women. The opposite is true as well. Also, "upstream" is relative. There are some places in society where men have easier access, but that applies to women, too. In the end it's up to the individual whether they want to become rich, or have a family etc.
10. Men are biologically programmed to have sex with as many women as possible, while women are programmed find a man who can protect and raise their child. The master key/shitty lock allegory is based on these programmings. Also, try to turn it around. Shitty key (opens only one or no locks)/ master lock (only one key or none). See what I'm getting at? It's all relative.

Also, socially acceptable behavior is still much more of a pro for women and con for men.

I don't mind being of either gender, however, since in the end it's your actions and thoughts that define your worth, not gender.

;tldr - read the whole post, you lazy @$$.

With our current laws and current judges, I don't know which gender is safer anymore. Most men will of course go to hell if a woman(Kid girl) reports the man for some sexual reasons.

One example was, the guy who was naked in his own house and got reported by a woman. Come on!

Women were treated badly in the past, I know, but now they want to be treated like princesses.

Those are the worst points of being a man as far as I know. I don't know much about women's weaknesses, though. And don't go "Pregnancy", because that's optional. At least until you get raped.

Regarding the propensity of being assaulted, it depends on where you are. Women in some countries don't get assaulted/raped/mistreated as easily as those in other countries.

And regarding equal treatment, sometimes women are more protected. I'm a university student, and in tree of my classes, there's this girl who is loudmouthed and verbally abusive of others in a "playful way". I called her a "fucking annoying bitch" to her face and instantly, I was the bad guy for calling her that. Women I have observed sometimes act in a passive aggressive manner to get what they want, but if a man tries the same tactic, he gets shot down in the act.

Of course, not all women are like that. There are downsides for them, like being belittled, harrassed if they have a superior intelligence/knowledge/skill, etc. Still, there is a certain tolerance and condescendence towards women that stems from men's misguided idea of "let's give her a break, she's just a woman".

In short, everything's fucked.

JJ: I'm a woman, and I can say being pregnant is not a privilege. Being able to raise a baby afterward may be, but the actual carrying of the baby?
You do know that having a baby hurts, right? You may miscarry (a horrid experience even if you didn't plan the child). They could come out still-born. Pregnancy is sometimes dangerous. It's hard to be active once you reach a certain stage in the pregnancy and can be flat out dangerous. Pregnancy fucks the body up, hormonally and physically. Morning sickness is another down side.

Oh, did I mention postpartum depression?

I'm pretty sure I missed a lot of things in there.

I'm sure SOME people feel that it's worth going through all of the above (and more, including the years of periods) and that it is somehow a privilege, but it's more like a curse - especially if you're impregnated against your will.

Having a baby is like shitting from the wrong hole

Hahaha, Wrong hole!

I've grown up with nothing but younger sisters all my life. I can honestly say I am happy being a guy, and would not want to be a woman.

However, if we're talking about a temporary transformation, I'm all for it. ... In the name of science of course...

@ Anon15:10 you do know that a womans pain threshhold is heightened during pregnancy right?

Or Raidy for that matter.

I think the love shared by two girls is often more beautiful than that of a guy and a girl. I agree with feeling timid about letting out my emotions, and I know most of it is subconscious. Kinda sucks actually, same with the style. Being able to have fun shopping and finding all sorts of fun combination's is something guys just can't do. I think its part of what makes me enjoy playing the female in an MMO where there outfits are usually quite appealing(but this could be more male tendency).

Being bored as a man is something that resonates to a degree as well. I kind of hate being hairy but shaving down would make me look rofl weird. Also the sensations woman feel during intercourse are more intense than a guys or that is the feeling I get.

the manga is great, the translation is mediocre,

I have to agree.

"7. Same work. Lower wages."

Liar. There are more women in the US economy than women now. Isn't it better to have a job, than "get paid less" according to some bullshit feminist average that says women earn less?

By the way, women are more educated than men nowadays and thus earn more than men. (20s age group, etc.) In France, 25% of young men are unemployed. You are talking total horseshit.

I see what you did there

at least im not the only one ;_;

"I wish I was a cat because they don't have to worry about trade defecit or gross domestic product"

Becoming a Neko?

I think I have heard it before...

...except that Y chromosome is basically a crippled version of X chromosome. If there is an X-linked recessive disease, you got it by default. I just felt that we got the short end of the stick by being guys(genetically speaking) :( Again, it's not like we get to choose anyways.

I need to keep the FAP the god given gift
