What sex would you like to come back as?

Regardless of what sex you are now if you can come back to this world would you want to come back as the opposite sex....

woman..come back as man

man...come back as woman

Now although I can be a bit of a tomboy and I work in a predominantly male industry I wouldn't want to come back as one I like being female and all that comes with that.

I wouldn't want the dangly bits of men at least as a woman we can struss our boobs up securely and our lower bits are put away neatly in a wee drawer.

I don't think a mans life is as sweet as we think it is, for one thing they seem to have so much more pressure on them to be the MAN! then it is contradicted by today's standards of being a new man and showing their feminine side etc it all seems rather confusing for them and where they fit in to society.

So what are your answers and why have you given it... 

why would you want to? why wouldn't you want to?

I've always wanted to be a boy, ever since I was little. All my male friends were/are funnier, more relaxed and don't complicate as much as females.

And as far as physiology goes, they have better muscle mass, no period, they don't give birth.. All pluses in my book! And if I were born a guy, I'd probably be really hairy.. and really funny. No shaving legs and it wouldn't be weird as it is if I make certain jokes as a female.

The only thing I like at being a woman is the option to paint my nails and not be discriminated for it

Well, presupposing that 1) it's possible and 2) I would actually remember this lifetime as a woman, I would say coming back as a man would have some cool advantages.

Man.  I wouldn't want to suffer oppression and discrimination at the hands of men.  I also am not enthusiastic about PMS and the period.

i would absolutely 100% come back as a woman. being a girl is fun, and i love it :p

and i haven't even gotten to experience the most amazing thing we can do yet, which in my book, is be a mom!

Can I be pansexual? I'm happy to be a woman but can I be a man for financial purposes and job interviews and such?

Can I come back to a world where men aren't judged harshly if their likes, interests or appearance are considered "feminine" and women aren't discriminated against or second-class citizens in many parts of the world?

Great question! Oh, how I would love to come back as a man. I've wanted to be male since I was a little girl. My brother ruined my birthday when I turned 8 by telling me that I could never be a professional football player because I was a girl. I was devastated when my parents confirmed this. To think that the Washington Redskins would turn me down because I was a girl made me so mad! When I was a child, I spent my days with the neighborhood boys playing football, baseball, climbing trees, racing bikes and spitting. As a teen and a young adult, I had a terrible time trying to understand the social aspects of being female. It didn't come natural to me. Things were different in the 60's and 70's for girls in my hometown. There was a template that women were expected to fit into and if you didn't, you were ostracized by others.  The only thing I've enjoyed about being female is giving birth to my daughter. She has made being a mom the best part of my life.  

I think I have to say woman.  I do think it would be cool to spend like a week as a man to see what it's like, but I don't think I would want to live a whole lifetime as one.  I like being a girl!

I'd hope to come back as a girl again! It's way more fun! :D I have absolutely no interest in being a guy or even wonder what it's like being one.

I like the idea of being pan sexual. 

Hmmmmm....

Both sexes have good and bad points. But, since i am a guy already...would be fun to see the female side. Though, if to exercise that option I would have to die in my current body...then i would say noooo. Would rather not roll the dice (yea i could get a better body, but there is also room to end up worse! either gender!).

Oh! Then there are those feminine asian guys! They can be either depending on how they feel like dressing in the morning! haha

I'm going with coming back as a guy. Less discrimination, bigger pay packets, no giving birth, periods, PMS or menopause. Less likely to have an eating disorder, less pressure to look like a stick insect. Less risk of rape and domestic violence. I know all these things happen the other way round too, but when we look at the statistics it is women who suffer most.

I do like being a woman who was born in NZ... but what if I was born in Guinea, Pakistan or Bangladesh?

On a side note, if I had the choice, I wouldn't come back as a person at all. A bird, now there you're talking.

Those are great points, but am I being too juvenile when my first thought process was:

Pee......snow......'nuff said!

 You have never met a truly talented woman!  

!!!! would looooooooove to come back as a pitbull!

merylwhite made me realize what my answer would be. assuming there was no guarantee that you would be among the western wealthy minority but rather reborn as simply a human in this world, I would be a guy, no question. In most of the world it is still really really tough to be a woman. Violence, poverty, oppression, despair.

I do enjoy being a woman in my society but that is because we have long worked and fought to make it better to be a woman in my society!!!

My first choice would be lazy, slept late Sunday morning.
Second choice is fresh out of the shower.

Oh, and I'd come every time ;)
