Anyway, as the discussion began...
I would like to ass another question onto this.
IF you became a woman, would you want to temporarily be a woman to
experience things from a different perspective, or would you
permanently want to be a woman.

Or simply put would you desire to revert back to your male self and
male-ego?

I think misogyny is a horrid thing that needs to be abolished but I
do sense a level of sexism or hatred towards men in general in
Lily's discourses there. Especially in the manner in which she
generalizes men, for instance how she derides the nice guys as all
men who will be indignant if turned down. Women and men deserve to
be treated equally, but your posts do come off as reverse sexist,
not in the facts that you present but in the generalizations you
make.

Oh, and I'm not trying to be offensive or rude. I'm just saying
that's how you come off in some of the generalizations you make in
your posts. My apologies.

Would anyone here want to be a tom boy if they became a woman, or
would you all just only want to be a feminine woman?

Tom-boy, ski bunny type is how I imagine myself. And definitely
would go hetero sex both before and after transformation. Only
would do bi/threesomes as a woman.

Last I checked one does not decide their sexual orientation, might
want to read up on your scientific facts and studies there.
Its the premise of the top post in the thread: "If you become a
woman would you WANT to be lesbian, bi, or heterosexual? I was just
curious... :)"

I don't want to get into a debate about the sexes or nature vs
nurture or anything like that. I was just saying if males and
females were exactly alike besides their private parts, then none
of this would be fun for any of us, would it? I mean, at least
3/4ths of us wouldn't be here at all.
Lily, we do see things a tiny bit differently. (Also, I never said
I'd date the nice guys. I just wouldn't lead them on more than
once, just to see what it's like of course).
While of course there'd be consequences to my behavior at times,
the chances of me being murdered, beaten, or raped, are not any
higher than it is for the women I know who do these sexually
enticing things all the time (to include family members that merely
find it funny). I'd have my fun, but I'd be careful.
But if I did get murdered, I suppose that's the price to pay for
fun and excitement.

You are correct. I should have qualified that statement. I amend it
now:
" Even the "nice guy types" can
get sullen and resentful..."
No hatred towards men. Really. I piled up a lot of words about
misogyny and male privilege and how it can be
depressing/frightening/frustrating to have to deal with that crap
-- but it was about those things, not about men.
We are all products of the cultures into which we are born and in
which we grow up. There are lots of women who participate in the
misogynistic and femmephobic aspects of that culture.
In fact, the worst instances of femmephobia I've encountered have
been in LGB circles. Lesbians are sometimes suspicious of anything
too femme. I've been told that high heels are a tool of the
patriarchy; a kind of latter-day foot binding.
And gay men have a whole other deal with gayface and the
straight/masculine image. The personals are dense with ads
requesting "STR8 ACTING MEN ONLY. ONLY INTO MASC. NO FEMS OR
QUEENS"
It was inevitable, however, that my feminist screed would excite a
"man hater" comment. It is all part of the same phenomenon. For the
record (because I know that you are keeping score on these things)I
both like men and like
men.

@ post #61
I'm mostly curious, so I'd go for 'temporary'.
Ideally, I'd like to rent, with the option to buy. : )
@ post #65
Hmmm... good question. I suppose I'd think like a tom-boy, but
outwardly appear as a fairly feminine woman, in most aspects. : )

I'm not a fan of white guilt tripping. Bashing someone for crap
that's out of their control is not cool or professional in my
opinion. Some people in America have this mentality that women,
homosexuals, and minorities are completely helpless and stupid and
always need help while all white straight males are powerful,
wealthy, and don't need any help at all. That's stereotyping if you
ask me. Right now at this point of my life, I think I would only
want to be with a woman for companionship and sex. I don't think I
could fall in love with a woman right now mainly because of trust
issues and I wouldn't want to set myself up for disappointment. If
you're talking about lust, then yeah sure.

Lily seems cool to me. Not a man-hater, but just generalizing to
get the idea across. Trying to help me out with the whole idea of
"if I became a woman I would..." and how it could negatively affect
me.
But at post 61, Idk, if I became one of the most (or the most)
beautiful woman on the planet, I'd consider staying that way, for
vanity reasons.
As for my risky life style, who wants to live to be old anyway? ha

Let the men that want to try out womanhod swap bodies with the
women that hate being women and/or think men have it made. If it's
that way, men get to see what it's like having vaginas and women
get to see what it's like having penises. I think more women would
stay as men than men would stay as women. Just sayin'.

@ 61. I agree with #70.
@ 65: Could I be something in between? At least, no daily make-up
nor complicated hair-styling.

Women heavily made-up make me think of drag queens. If magically
transformed into a pretty woman I'd probably go easy on the
cosmetics, and if the metamorphosis left me as a freckled redhead
I'd show off those freckles.

@71
Not to be a douche here, but I highly suggest you read up on
scholarly journal articles on white privilege, heterosexual
privilege, and male privilege. This isn't stereotyping, this is
science. I've taken classes on this matter in gender studies as
well as class on sociology and research does highly suggest there
is white heterosexual male privilege. Whether or not we like it the
problem exists and is pervasive in society. I'm a white male but I
recognize that there is privilege there.
And such research isn't suggesting that the minorities are
completely helpless. Perhaps if you read some books on the matter
you would realize what privelege is all about and that its not
stereotyping.

From: guest

Oh and it's not bashing the individual it is bashing the culture
that has this pervasive mentality that bestows such privilege, it's
not shaming us males and others, it's shaming the culture, a group
mindset if you will.

@75, I LOVE drag queens, they always make me smile. They have the
best personalities.

I just don't like it when people guilt trip me because of my skin
color. I have never owned slaves. I have never told a woman, a
minority, or a homosexual to stay away from me because of what they
are. Am I perfect? No. Have I stereotyped and had racist thoughts
and feelings before? Yes, I am not perfect. Am I saying it's right?
Nope.
For the record, I'm a white straight male with a wonderful college
degree working a lowly retail job that pays me about 15K a year
after taxes. Just thought I should throw that out.
And if I was turned into a woman, I don't think I would be a tomboy
but I wouldn't be overtly girly girl. I'd mainly wear skirts and
dresses most of the time because I'd want the wind blowing up my
legs and butt.

It's not a guilt trip, that's why I'm saying I don't think you
quite understand what privilege is all about. Also it's not solely
about having a job or wages but also being treated fairly with
equal rights as well as not having automatic expectations, such as
our society's automatic assumption that one is heterosexual unless
stated otherwise, that is one example of privilege that exists,
among many. It's not about YOU as an individual it is about
society.
