is there any, ANY AT ALL, positive aspect to being female??? cause i really, REALLY don’t think so 
Re: remind me again...

Re: remind me again…
what do you mean “any positive aspects at all” ? 
c’mon girl chin up,
the word female in itself is a positive 
Re: remind me again...
i would rather be a guy
infinitely easier...
there is no advantage to being female and i don't see what's fair about it at all
Re: remind me again…
When the time had come to make woman, God was into the sixth day of working overtime. An angel appeared and said, “Why are you spending so much time on this one?” And God answered, "Have you seen my spec sheet on her?
She has to be completely washable, but not plastic, have over 200 movable parts, all replaceable and able to run on diet coke and leftovers, have a lap that can hold four children at one time, have a kiss that can cure anything from a scraped knee to a broken heart – and she will do everything with only two hands."
The angel was astounded at the requirements. “Only two hands!? No way! And that’s just on the standard model? That’s too much work for one day. Wait until tomorrow to finish.” But I won’t,"
God protested. “I am so close to finishing this creation that is so close to My own heart. She already heals herself when she is sick AND can work 18 hour days.”
The angel moved closer and touched the woman. “But you have made her so soft, Lord.” She is soft," God agreed, “but I have also made her tough. You have no idea what she can endure or accomplish.”
“Will she be able to think?”, asked the angel. God replied, “Not only will she be able to think, she will be able to reason and negotiate.”
The angel then noticed something, and reaching out, touched the woman’s cheek. “Oops, it looks like you have a leak in this model. I told you that you were trying to put too much into this one.”
“That’s not a leak,” God corrected, “that’s a tear!” “What’s the tear for?” the angel asked. God said, **“The tear is her way of expressing her joy, her sorrow, her pain, her disappointment, her love, her oneliness, her grief and her pride.” **
The angel was impressed. “You are a genius, Lord. You thought of everything! Woman is truly amazing.” And she is! **Women have strengths that amaze men. **
They bear hardships and they carry burdens, but they hold happiness, love and joy.
They smile when they want to scream. They sing when they want to cry. They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in. They stand up to injustice. They don’t take “no” for an answer when they believe there is a better solution. They go without so their
family can have. They go to the doctor with a frightened friend. They love unconditionally. They cry when their children excel and cheer when their friends get awards. They are happy when they hear about a birth or a wedding. Their hearts break when a friend dies. They grieve at the loss of a family member, yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left. They know that a hug and a kiss can help to heal a broken heart.
Women come in all sizes, in all colors and shapes. They’ll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you.
**The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning! **
They bring joy and hope. They have compassion and ideals. They give moral support to their family and friends. Women have vital things to say and everything to give.
**If there’s one flaw in women, it is that they tend to forget their worth. So, pass this along to your women friends to remind them how amazing they are. **
Re: remind me again…
lots. depending on each culture…
freebies…
watching your bro pick up the heavy furniture cuz u r too weak.
skipping all work since u have period cramps..
u are allowed to shop till u drop in order to relieve stress
allowed to cry and shrieeeeek like a banshee and a man is not even if the guy who died was closer to him than to u
allowed to wear blue/green/brown w/o once considering if it looks gay.
are not ‘expected’ to have great careers.
are ‘allowed’ to earn only for themselves
get seats if they have a baby in their belly while a man holding a baby in his arms wont get one…
can vent and go all emotional as much as they want…can a guy do this?
Re: remind me again…
i’m just so very frustrated with my lot in life…so much unfairness in every aspect of life
but just the same, faizy
Re: remind me again…
nope… and thats why the way man/woman is created is perfect for them…
Re: remind me again…
my period sometimes makes me ill enough to pass out…periods are gross…it ruined the end of my ramadan…any period is a plus HOW? there was no other way for females to reproduce?
and giving birth had to be beyond the limits of pain?
being seen as weak is positive?
and tears are useless
Re: remind me again...
oh and lets not forget
we have the "gift" that we are "allowed" to always compromise and give in..THANKS
and we have so many rules and regulations...but if we're lucky and have a good husband then you can do as you please...but otherwise, that's your lot in life...you're stuck with it and be happy you were blessed to be a gift to man
i'm not going through a bad time in my life...i just fail to see how in any way being female is fair
i'm tired of having to fight for things that should just be...i'm tired of "reasons" that are really just rationalizations and justfications for BS
i'm tired of all my limitations b/c i happen to have a vagina
i'm fecking tired of being female...
Re: remind me again…
being seen as weak physically is one thing…
but women have more ENDURANCE as compared to men.
strenght is not only based on physical strength…it includes emotional strength too.
and the ability to cry it out GIVES women more endurance.
ever wonder WHY they live longer as compared to their male counterparts?
tears are useless?..hain?! tears are THE most effective way to get a man to listen to you…try kerna kabhi…
Re: remind me again...
714 its just a phase believe me been through it and I guess every girl has once in their life time. It will be over soon then u will realize how imp u r and what you really worth. Hang in there you will see I am rite. cheer up and go do something that will make you smile.
Re: remind me again…
YOU let them put limitations on u.
its really your life and you decide what limitations u want.
men get discriminated big time too…they are EXPECTED to have a good job and provide their families (in alot of cases this even includes caring for your old parents, brothers sisters, marrying off sisters/bros/daughters/sons) with most of the financial burden on the men and they are considered wimpy if they express their emotions…
Re: remind me again...
Shweet is rite, as I normally tell my sister (since she is going through the same thing) that she should study hard become something, be someone and show everyone what u r capable of doing. In the mean time best idea is to keep ur spirit up and keep praying.
I believe that if you trust urself and have faith you can do nething in world, you can be ahead of men. Its in u honz, just relax urself and think about things. How you can go about it. You are the only person who can lift up those restrictions and show them the new moon. So I suggest u do that.
Re: remind me again…
…
Bo hoooo hooooooo…yeah right.
Self pity, self loathing …a trademark of women? Why?
Re: remind me again...
Kaleem is bitter melon included in ur diet nowadays. You seem to be pissing off a lot of ppl. Ur daughters giving u hard time? or ur wifey? sometime u should learn to be sympathetic and if you can't do that its better to stay away.
Re: remind me again...
You get to be a mother...Is there anything nobler on earth? If you can be a good one, then you have earned everything life had in store for you...
Re: remind me again...
pdiddy, who else have I pissed off? You are the only one bending out fo shape....its OK, take a deep breath....this too shall pass. I dont like melons...I like watermelons and they are never bitter where I get them from.
P.S. Lets not bring family members into this discussion......you dont want to start that war of words with me.
