I usually love being a female. Despite my findings in this thread, I still believe that women can do just about anything that a man can do at least as well, if not better. However, I have to admit that I envy the male gender at certain times of the month and when I go camping. (It's far easier to pee in the bushes when you don't have to squat.)

Why can't guys have an annoying monthly problem so I don't have to envy them every time I have to suffer through mine!

Wait... compare the common man to the common women and man has some supiorer abilities. However the scale goes both way. And I dont believe how you said that was the right way to approach the subject, saying that a women is equal or better at anything a man could do. This only proves your ignorance in a broad matter.

Sure females does pee in the bush, and they get monthly problems, but they also man great qualities. They tend to be able to transfer data between the right and left side oftheir brain quicker than men... while men typically use there left side (i think its left) more, which shows for their logical/common sense.

And yes a male brain is generally 10% bigger, with 4% more cells... but a females brain has more nerves and therefore has a smaller more efficient brain.

Now beside intelligence, which I find we are all equally dumb, because you can have dumb girls, and dumb boys, and less dumb girls and less dumb boys, you can go on to the matter of the body. Both genders tend to have their qualities... men are hunters, agrressors... women are nuturers. This is simply genetic.

If you don't like the facts, don't make up your own. Yes, some males and some females have the same qualities. Everyone is mixed.. the facts are simply based on typical/general results of tests. And yes, some girls can do everything a man can do and better, and some men can do everything a girl can and better.

Bla Bla Bla, hay kid its rule of nature, we can't go againest it. simple to say No way out. I suggest you to keep something with you, like artificial stuff , i hope u can Understand boys have some advantage on girls

"Wow you have great knowledge about that stuff , i realy admire"

@9Block * Please note that I said I BELIEVE that women are equal to men in almost anything. I was not stating this as a fact, simply expressing my beliefs, as you have expressed yours. There's no need to jump down my throat for thinking that a woman could possibly be equal and, dare I say, BETTER than a man at something. Maybe it's just something your slightly larger brain can't seem to comprehend. I'm sure you've no doubt heard this before, but "bigger is not always better."

Of course, you seem to have missed the ACTUAL point of this topic, so maybe I can put it in terms that you might actually understand:
Women menstrate (bleed from the uterus) every month, which can be an annoying inconvenience and cause discomfort. I wish that men where blessed with a similar plague so that I would not have to envy them every month while I am suffering. I also wish it were as easy as unzipping my pants when I have to pee in the woods because it's rather uncomfortable and messy to squat.

I hope that I have simplified my language enough for you to comprehend so perhaps you will be able to stay on topic.

Watch it buddie. i know you are not dissin' my homegirl tiki lol, but for what men are superior in women do make up for in other areas (e.g men are typicaly stronger, but women tend to be more flexible) and in some cases women are better than men at somethings, and you need to learn it ang get over it. And you got WAY off topic thanks bud.

And she is not ignorant By the way

Logic/common sence I'd like to meet a man who is logical/has some common sense, scine most of the men i knopw are stoopid male chauvinist pigs *cough* like some people on this forum *cough cough*



Size doesn't matter, honney bun. Like you said, just because it is bigger, doesn't mean it's better.

Oh so your saying that women can't be better hunters than women? I beg to differ.



OKAY NOW YOU HAVE ME ANGRY tiki did not make up something, she was meerly expressing her opinions, she like i, is sick and tire of the male chauvinist thought of women aren't equal to men. The fact of the matter is, women have to put up with a lot more than men do- take the pain of child birth for example.



Don't you bla bla bla us, UNDERSTAND? Yes men do have some advantages (although i HATE admitting it ) but you must understand that God created us all equally, and in what ways we are not superior to men we make up for in other ways. And DUH of course she keeps stuff like that with her when she goes camping do you think she goes Au Natural... I sure hope not for her sake

Always got your back tikiprincess

I'll let my sensitive side do some thinking on this topic...

I think there are both good and bad for being born with a specific gender. There are many unrealistic expectations for both sexes. Yet, some expectations are that you act according to your sex. The philosophers will try to teach you it doesn't matter who you are or what you are, but the world will make sure you are put into where you belong... it's a contradictory yet perfectly well balanced role that, we, each of us will play in this game called, "Life." Sounds like I read the game box? No

To be honest, I would not want to have women's biological cycles. I will admit it sounds messy. And I bet it's a very annoying event especially you may have to schedule your activities according to the monthly cycle. Rather than the typical statement of "you know what" envy, I can see why certain concession would prefer to urinate standing up. It can be of a sport during certain time of the year, during certain idiotic periods

While women's body is preparing for the miracle of life men do not have it as easy as you might think. How come we, the men, have to sweat so much? How come we stink when we sweat? Why is that some men have unbelievable amount and strange places where bushes of hair would grow but the place that's needed the most (the head) loses once we hit a certain age? We can fart and joke around about how disgusting we are among men yet we suck our guts in whenever a woman walks in front of us? Why are we expected to make more money, fetch hard labor, work longer, do more, and be the first one to go downstairs with a baseball bat when a strange noise is heard in the middle of the night? I want to stay inside the covers, too

All kidding aside, I have gone camping with women and I can see what cumbersome it may cause. When women are stressed out nothing exciting can cheer up the situation--until the stress goes away.

But there is one aspect of this timely biological sign that us men, well at least I, are envious. That is women have strong support group and medical science researchers who are dedicated to one specific duty. I have not heard any commercial on a television promoting a wonder drug that can fix men's bloating symptoms. Not one medical support that can help out male mood swings and there isn't a name for it! I mean c'mon, we have feelings too. Although it may not be as sever as women's, men do experience monthly changes. It's just not noticeable externally. Some people call it "jackass" attitude or worse and some people may not even know the symptom and call it, "a gas." But men are taught not to express such inner emotions that who knows, there could be hundreds and thousands of men who go through painful days unnoticed.

You should not be envious in this department either. Medical advances in years passed far favor the male problems than they do the females. For example, how many men do you know that have been neutered when diagnosed with prostrate or testicular cancer? But let them find a lump in a womans breast, and bang, off those babies come.

But as to the original question about do men have "periods" I say emphatically, YES!!! Years ago I had a boss who was regular as clockwork. I used to tell the other girls in the morning, "Ok, be on your toes today because he is going to be cranky when he comes in." Sure enough, he would roar through later eating everybody out up one side and down the other. After he left they would always ask me how I knew he was going to be in a bad mood, and I would just tell them it was his time of the month. They thought I was a bit silly, but it happened month after month. Thank god he had his period the week after mine, or there would of probably been serious consequences. I don't think we could of stood each other.
