About human society:
Our society would be different if we were descendend from Bonobo Chimps rather than some unknown variety of ape. Our society would have a tendancy to be more matriarchal. We'd have fewer territory struggles and wars and much more sex. Homo and bi sexuality would never be thought of as taboo and would hardly be anything to raise an eyebrow about. Stand in awe at the social achievements of the Bonobo Chimp.
Now back to the original topic of this thread. First I shall state the advantages, then the disadvantages of being male.
Male Advantages:
1. When there's no restroom about you can go to a secluded spot and go standing up.
2. Being able to go around without a shirt and not have people gawk (though I still don't feel comfortable without a shirt and I'm male).
3. Not having a monthly hormonal cycle and all that caused by it (actually doctors have found out that if women slow down the amount of cycles they have to only a few a year, with hormone supplements, it's actually better).
4. Never being able to accidentally become pregnant (though pregnancy is quite an amazing thing from a purely scientific standpoint).
5. Having a wider range of body weight/build considered as relatively attractive.
6. Fewer choices for clothing and thus less time for deciding what to wear (If there were more choices, I'd be stuck there longer than most women—I'm a bit indecisive).
7. Having short hair and not being called an oddity (though women look good with short hair if they have the right facial features and hair cut).
7. Fashionable haircuts that look like you just rolled out of bed (though I still think the fact that a stylist will charage you $60 for that is crazy). Sort of like the recording artist Beck. I still like my prim, combed, and center parted haircut better.
8. Not having as many fashion trends thrown at us to make us insecure and feel like less of a person.
Male Disadvantages:
1. Prostate exams when you're older (I do not look forward to this).
2. Being beat up from kindergarten through 12th grade due to diminitive stature (Yep I'm relatively short and small).
3. Being short and thus not considered attractive (even short girls like fairly tall guys).
4. Having a relatively high sex drive (It really gets annoying when your mind keeps getting those thoughts).
5. Having bad products marketed to that relatively high sex drive (Bad comedies, bad games, etc).
6. Having a sexual organ that can be severed (One of the sexes had to be assigned it).
7. Having an area that can be hit to cause increadible amounts of pain (thankfully I have not yet experienced such pain).
8. Having to "be a man" when you are timid and emotional.
9. Traditionally having to be the one to initiate relationships (...and thus have the car and thus have to pay for the outing or else being looked down upon, etc).
10. Having only one orgasm.
11. Spending that one orgasm way too early (I have not yet had a chance for such to happen).
12. Having a high risk of having a stroke if you're of diminuative stature (...and I'm of diminuative stature).
13. Showing arousal way too easily (it's annoying in public and makes being playing innocent about whether or not you think someone is attractive difficult).
Both genders have disadvantages, but neither gender has a major advantage over the other—mayabe a few minor ones, but no major ones. Seperately we are flawed, but together we're either more flawed or balance out our flaws.
