Okay. Good question. Here we go:
1) Boobs. I love my boobs. Men don't have boobs (well, let's not count "man-boobs" for the sake of scientific study). They are soft and pliable, and -- unlike a man -- I don't have to worry about whether or not they are rock-hard.
2) Vaginas. Okay, so having a monthly period is a pain, but otherwise, I love my vagina. It's practically self-cleaning, it stays a nice warm temperature (ie, doesn't get bothered by cold weather), I don't have to touch/hold it when I pee, and it's low-maintenance/mess during sexual activities.
3) We can actually defy gravity. Now, I don't dress up all the time... but when I do, I find that I can literally defy gravity. From push-up bras to 5-inch stilettos, I can make my chest not sag and I can also stand 5 inches taller than I once was.
4) People open doors for us, and that is always awesome.
5) As painful as it may be during and in the end, we have the potential to grow an ACTUAL HUMAN BEING INSIDE OF ME. And men can't even come close to doing that.
6) We can turn ANYTHING into a feminist issue. Now, I'm not much of a feminist (ie, why should I be equal to a man? I want to be better than a man!), but I have been known amidst my circle of friends to turn any subject into a feminist issue (yes, even jock straps).
7) We can multitask like it's nobody's business. I can hold a full-time job, full-time education, 15 kids, 2 babysitters, 85 million meetings, family, and friends... and STILL maintain my composure, my smile, and my good looks -- and STILL do what needs to be done!
8) As strong, powerful, educated, and independent as I am, men still want to take care of me. And that is so cool. At the end of the day, it's nice to have a man who wants to take care of my every need.
9) We can turn it on, and we can turn it off. Sex-drive can come and go as we please (ie, no raging erection that MUST be taken care of).
10) And the best reason of all -- we are down to earth. We know where we're going and we know how to get there. We can take care of ourselves AND tons of others. We know when to relax and we know when to be strong. We persevere, we challenge the rules (heck, we make our own rules!). We are sneaky as hell and we know how to get the job done -- big or small.
Be jealous, guys. Women are awesome.

Did you want to know what the joys of being a woman are??? Our joys are also our pains if it's something men can't relate to.
Take pregnancy and birth, it's wonderful to have the little one growing inside of you but it can be uncomfortable and delivery is a lot of work and painful. Having a period, it's is great to have one if you don't want a baby but honestly it is a hassle and for some it can be painful. Other than that we are all the same.

I do think that being a woman is an amazing thing to be. Of course it is different for everyone and I cannot speak for all women, only myself.
Our bodies are really beautiful and soft and strong. we are often more in touch with our emotions and expressing them or at least encouraged to be as well as our intuition and deep psyche which has its own cycle with our body
we are complex and multifaceted
we have our own kinds of wisdom and strength that is different from mens
We have the capacity to give life - to concieve and grow babies and nurture them and care for them which is its own private miracle. we can also choose not to do this (at least in this culture)
We can have close relationships with other women and share our stories intimately and feel free to touch and nurture each other without it being seen as a big deal or a sexual thing
we also can love and be close with men and appreciate our differences and similarities. for it is a wonderful magic to be a woman with a man I love
we get to be pretty and wear dresses and lace and spin around, adorn ourselves like temple priesstesses
and we also get scruffy in jeans and run about, work hard, and get the earth under our fingernails and feel completely at home in the garden and the woods
we can be leaders in our communities and jobs and we evotionarilly at least have a stronger tendency to be more cooperative and power-sharing in relation with others (I realize this is not alway apparent, believe me!) We can raise our families and have the job of homemaker which is a sacred thing to be
For the first time in a Looooong time, we can do anything we want to, anything we dream to, any career, relationship, raise a child or not, choose marriage or not, travel the world alone if we want
It really may not be all that different from being a man is the most basic ways

I love being female... and everyone should enjoy whatever gender they might be.
Males should feel good about being guys and females should enjoy being women... why be unhappy with what you are?
If you believe in a creator then you should accept that we are marvelous creations and should be grateful for the chance to be what we are.
If you believe in evolution then you should realize that we have evolved to be the amazing creatures that we are now, and should be happy with the way Nature has molded us.
It is wrong to tell men or women that they are a "mistake" or "evil" or "stupid". If either men or women were unnecessary, they wouldnt be here.
So... hug a member of the opposite sex today!!!

Knowing that , as a woman, they are far more intelligent than most men on the planet. Far less women end up in prison and you care about people more. For some men, it is like pulling teeth trying to get them to give a damn about anybody but themselves. You will see this when you read some of the responses from men to your question. The truth hurts, but the truth is the truth. Also you are beautiful, not ugly like men are.

Don't need to push and and pull (strike ) so hard as men have to do while going for sex, just lay down, she can just do it while sleeping. She has just to lay down and nothing to do. What a great joy, getting pregnant, tomorrow world says she has given birth to a child, every one gives her credit for the pregnancy but the real hard worker the striker is ignored, no one talks about him.

since you do not give the option to contact you, I guess I will have to do it this way. You answered the post I made about the illegal invasion. If you read the details, I said the fault is with the United States government. I guess you missed that part. Feel free to contact me to debate. I am not a coward. My messenger is right on my profile. This is the only way I can contact you. Maybe you have something to hide. I do not

Others hold the door open for you.
You don't have to pay for dinner.
You can cry your way out of a lot.
Playing dumb to get out of a ticket.
Don't have to do hard physical labor.
If I paint my nails, no one thinks I'm weird.
Better jewelry for women.
I'll never be expected to rebuild my cars engine or rotate the tires.
I get to be married to the best guy in the world.

Have you ever felt you were right, although everyone else was wrong, but you were so sure that you had the right answer that you were pleased with yourself, despite what others thought? Yet a little frustrated, because they wouldn't believe you? That's how women feel all the time.

Well, you have the element of surprise when you hit a man...they don't expect that.
Also, girls are hardly ever killers, so you're less likely to be suspected for fitting a certain profile.
You can like to shop without being called gay...
Lots more.
