Do you ever wish you weren't female?

	Do you ever wish you weren't female? My reason is that being woman is never made to be anything desirable, or inspiring, or enviable... being a woman you aren;t credited with such honor and praise as men are, you cant expect to reach the same fame as men, and man basically kicks and knocks womens image down, so why would you want to be one? Would a man ever want to be one? I doubt it. I wouldnt necessarily want ot be a man, but I would just like to escape this lack of a glorious promise. ... Yes, women can do the same things as man, but does she ever get the recognition? No. Does her name get wirtten in the history books? No. Maybe a handful/ The rest of the time, she is blotted out from history and existence, Is that fair? No.... Just wondering if and when other females feel as I do sometimes.... Brinlarr- what a sexist insult!! I do NOT like to be thought of as a piece of meat, exclusive of a human individual!! How terrible!! But its not our (womens) fault that its this way. Its mans own fault he wouldnt want to be in our own shoes. Maybe then, thats just their little way of making themselves feel better! Asked By: Yentl - 8/30/2006

I think you sell women short.Women allow themselves to be knocked down by buying into the crap thats thrown at them through mass media.There are plenty of powerful women who are in historyy books and as time passes there will be more great strides by women.Here are some women that have some jobs and power that I would love to have.I also don't think they would have been able to accomplish these things if they had a self negative image of what women are capable of.Women are great some of the most influential people have been women.Men just don't want to admit it or talk about it. 1 Condoleezza Rice National Security Adviser, Bush Administration 49 U.S. 2 Wu Yi Vice Premier, former Vice Mayor of Beijing 65 China 3 Sonia Gandhi President, Congress Party 57 India 4 Laura Bush U.S. First Lady 57 U.S. 5 Hillary Rodham Clinton U.S. Senator 56 U.S. 6 Sandra Day O'Connor U.S. Supreme Court Justice 74 U.S. 7 Ruth Bader Ginsburg U.S. Supreme Court Justice 71 U.S. 8 Megawati Sukarnoputri President, Indonesia 57 Indonesia 9 Gloria Macapagal Arroyo President, Philippines 57 Phillipines 10 Carleton "Carly" S.

No way. Cramps suck but I would never give up that look on a man's face where they have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. It's really quite fun. I've made guys cry before. If you ask me, women are treated second string only if they don't have enough ambition to make people understand that they're not. Plus as a girl, maybe now I'm the one being sexist but I've never met a boy who could confide with friends about deep feelings. My friends come to me all the time for help with issues and I trust them with mine. Guys just don't do that. So honestly, if you think that they treat women poorly, I'd rather be the underdog than the conceited jerk. Answered By: uhhh - 8/30/2006

Honey, why do you think it's called HIStory? Cause all the pen holders were men. Of course women get recognition. Should we get more? Sure.

I think some females are not a victim of not being recognized by society, they are a victim of their own victimized thinking. You are thinking that you are being erased from society, when, really, society is waiting for women to take the initiative to take equal power. Let this be your motivation. Do something outstanding. Make the world better. Stand up for what is right, and you will be accepted into the open arms of society's honored few! Females are not erased from society, they just are reluctant to do great things upon fear of being erased from society. Being a male, let me say that women hold the social power in the world. Look around you, and see the vast multitude centered around women! Sometimes this is for the wrong reasons, but stand up, and make it for the right reasons. I hope this helps.

From your question I keep reading the same thing, 'See me'. What have you done that you were not recognized? Last time I checked it wasn't a competition.What was the glory you were promised, but did not receive? Did I miss that memo? I wonder if you have any children. The feeling you get about six months into it and the baby starts to move. No man will ever feel that. No man will ever know what it is like to carry another human being into this world. My husband worshiped my belly for what it held. He would listen to our second daughter moving around, he would hold his had to my stomach to feel her move. When I was in labor I have never seen a man look so helpless. He kept asking me if I was okay. Is my husband one in a million? To me he is, but I'm sure there are other women who would say the same about their partners. My children come to me first with a problem. When they cry, they cry for me. That is the recognition I get. I don't need anymore. As long as my daughters think that I can do anything, and I do, then they know they can do anything. Even if they are girls.

Wow great question ... yes I did at one time, but with an explanation , being old school I know what it it like to be discriminated against just for being female we were very limited back in the day as to what we could do . I wasn't allowed to work , go shopping or do anything on my own, because of being a woman we also weren't allowed in the same places as men such as 'the gentleman's club" , we as women couldn't even vote at one time and were treated as indentured servants , If we did have property it was under the control of or turned over to our husbands ,brothers and fathers . There are some places in the south that still follow the old rules for women. Thank goodness for the changes that our foremothers fought for so that I can hear women proudly say today that they wouldn't be a man for anything in the world. and thank God everyday for being an American citizen ,in other countries women have it a lot worse that we ever have.

Well it is true that women are mostly the degraded,oppressed, vulnerable,discredited sex. But thats what makes things so challenging, we tolerate a lot. Listen we can carry a lot of burden, worry and think for others, we can do anything connected to anything emotional. We dont easily freak out and start punching and kicking like men do we? Men mostly cheats on us, well we tolerate and move on, dont we? As for my opinion, I'm glad that I'm a woman, and not those unjust, despicable men. Oh yeah you should also remember there are so many other things to enjoy if you're a woman, afterall we are living in the 21st century.

I only dislike being a female once a month. And I agree with you we do get treated very poorly. If it wasn't for the women in this world then there would not be any males and visa versa. But we have come along way from the 50's and being slaves to our husbands and fathers is almost a thing of the past. We still need to work on it for our daughters, One stinky male at a time. And there is a study on the fact that there is more females on the planet then males, and it is a hypothesis that eventually the male race for human males will be extinct.

Would a man ever want to be one? I think so. Yes, women can do the same things as man, but does she ever get the recognition? Sometimes she does. Does her name get written in the history books? Its Mans own fault he wouldn’t want to be in our own shoes. Women have more power than they let on, do you honestly think that women’s right would have progressed as far as they have without the subtle influence of woman? I think not. Women don’t get the recognition they deserve yet because there aren't enough of them up in society to make the change happen yet. It’s coming though; you just have to wait for it. Women in the books: Who writes books? Men & Women. Who publishes books? Mostly men. Who edits books? Mostly men. You want women in power in books? You want to hear about women from women? Then you need to change how books published, edited and distributed. No I wouldn’t want to be in your shoes if your shoes were 4 inch stilettos, but the female body is a wonderful thing and if you want to have power then you’ll have to go out there and earn it like everyone else.

I think men and women are supposed to compliment each other. We think differently and on average there are some things men just seem to be able to better than women and women have some things they just seem to do better than men. There are, of course, always exceptions. I think if the two individuals who together make a couple learn to recognize their own and each others strengths and weaknesses, they can help and support each other and accomplish wonderful things together.

Sweetie you have it all BACKWARDS! I wouldn't want to be a man, for all the money in the world!! You need to realize that women are so desired by men, that men will do just about anything to get a woman! Use that knowledge to your advantage. Being female means that you barely have to work at anything.....just throw a man a compliment and they will do the work for you. you can just batt your eyes and have a stranger pump your gas OR EVEN PAY FOR IT! And if you cry, most men get really nervous and give you what you want, just so you will stop crying/ or shut up. You just need realize your value in the world, develop self-esteem........and even if you don't feel it...act like you own the world and you will be surprised at how much you will begin to love being a woman!

	How do I get a job with Dodgy work history and no experience? Basically- no degree, although I have tried completing one in the past and stopped because of physical and mental health issues which were overwhelming to deal with along with going to classes full time. I'm not stupid and I am quite articulate. I am 23 and have only worked for about two years retail in high school and stopped working to go to university. I worked a few months in 2010 retail after I dropped out but it was only a seasonal position, and the only reason why I have not been able to constantly work is because of mental health issues. I had also tried going back to community college during my free time since i left university in 2008/9 and I had panic attacks while in community college, which made my anxiety worse from then on. Well recently I met a good doctor and he prescribed me some meds that are stabilizing my moods and I feel the best I've felt in years, and I'm ready to work. Thing is, I don't know how to get a job now since I've spent literally years being depressed and anxious doing nothing. I don't really have anything to put on my resume, and I never finished my AA degree either. All I've done is cashiering and although I do the job well and I get promoted easily when I do these jobs because I'm a hard worker and I try to go above and beyond what they ask of me,which is the attitude I have no matter what kind of work I'm doing as long as I'm getting paid. But I hate cashiering because it's too easy and I want a job that is more interesting. Any suggestions for me on how to get a job that is NOT Retail with the type of background I have right now?

	What career or jobs can i get after graduating Information Technology? I am currently a 1st year irregular college student taking I.T. I transferred schools and my majors never got credited. But it's okay because i am slowly getting the logics in programming in Java. This next semester i am taking a System Analysis and Design(SADSIGN) and i am getting nervous because even though i am pretty good at logics, i am not that good at coding. But since it is a case study, we will be on group, we will be four i think. Project manager, Analyst, Documentation, and the programmer. I am asking what jobs i can get after graduating I.T. because what if i graduated I.T. and still not that good at coding, i am hoping that there will be a jobs that will require less programming. Like Database manager or in Multimedia or in charge of Network. So is there jobs that doesn't require hardcore programming skills? 2 answers - Asked By: Jay p*e - 5/6/2013
