@Cindy1302 When I was young I wish I was a man, because I thought men had it easy. I thought men would get all the advantages and privileges in life, from job opportunity to family matters. I realized that the reason why I wanted to be a man was because the media painted an unrealistic portrait of what a man’s life would be, and my education constantly talked about women’s responsibility in society, which also gave me an unrealistic fear of a woman’s life.
I, like @JLeslie‘s friend and @snowberry, had a reason to wish for a different gender because of unrealistic impression and influence. For @JLeslie‘s friend, that was the culture she grew up in. For @snowberry, that was the unrealistic impression of what boys could do and wish that she could have done it too. And for me, it was the unrealistic fear of the negative implication of being a woman.
So maybe take a deep look within yourself and see why exactly led you to believe being a man is better because they are stronger. Was you bullied by men in the past? Was you influenced by the media around you? Did you see a woman being assaulted by a man and couldn’t do anything about it?
