I'm content with being a guy. I like not having to deal with pregnancy, menstrual cycles, guys ogling me, higher standards for personal maintenance and the added emotional depth/sensitivity. On the other hand, I don't like that guys are discouraged from showing their emotions as it makes it hard for us to fully open up. I wouldn't confide in my best male mates about some things, but I wouldn't hesitate to approach most of my female friends on those same matters.

I find that I don't really connect with the brusque machoistic (is that even a word?) ideal of man or guys who live up to that... I find it obnoxious. Besides I'm quite quiet, pretty passive and I avoid competition/hostility. Not exactly a paragon of "alpha male dominance", not exactly womanly either
