If given the chance, would you be a man for a day?

Question

Video on woman who was able to live as a man for a short period to see what it was like: http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=1527024

what would seem more easy, and what would seem more difficult? What would you do in that time?

Answer 1

Being a woman is hard enough, why would I want to be a man, even for a day? Men have their own problems to deal with just like women do. You’d be surprised how similar we all are when you get down to it!

I like men for who they are, i.e, masculine, built different than me, and all that jazz.

I’ll stay female, you stay male. It’s what makes men so attractive to begin with.

Answer 2

Not much difference, well but that depends on your personality. If you're a really girlie girlie, then it would be a learning experience.

If you meant "magically" we can turn into a guy for one day
The most you'd get out of it, is what it feels like to have sex as a man, and ya, drink in a bar get drunk and still feel safe.

And if you hung out with the stupid dudes, you would get a lot of pressure to conform. Its not so different than being with the stupid girl groups that make you conform or you're out. Except that what you are conforming to is different.

And no, you dont need to be a guy to experience peeing standing up. The instructions if you're interested are on the internet. Go look it up yourself.

And of course, depending on how sexist the environment around you, you might notice how differently people start treating you. (but thats like the white/black people exchanged places for the documentary)

I suppose it would be a learning experience...
but if you truly want to understand what it feels like to be a guy.. then you need to understand how they behave and act and think instead of trying to pretend to be a guy.

Answer 3

Try to remember that Nora Vincent was never a 'Man'. She was a 'Drag King' impersonating a Man in what She took to be a 'Man's World'. When the story first broke certain leading Feminists in America rejected Her assertions about how Men actually feel. (Some of Them should have asked questions here at this forum to find out the truth about Men). Her personal experiences have lifted the lid on the whole "We know all about Men because We have read a magazine article that confirmed everything We thought" mentality within some Women's / Feminist organizations. If Her preconceptions can be shown to be totally specious, what does that say for the countless numbers of Women out there who have never bothered to learn about Men? Are they not now truly to be declared as being 'misandric by reason of ignorance'?
As a corollary let Me just refer Your attention back to the answers that proceed My own. Note the total lack of serious attempt to come to terms with this issue in an intelligent and intellectual manner. Under any other circumstances My Feminist friends who gather at this cite would be burning the midnight oil replying to Your question. Where are They all now? If it is not germane to the empowering of Women and the advancing of those social issues that are in Their benefit, They are not interested. Why then should the average Men be bothered to reciprocate when asked for His support and assistance?
Equality means going out of Your way to be of assistance to those who have need of Your help in order to right some previous wrong; irregardless of gender. It does not mean "One's of One's Own gender first and foremost", as some would have Us now believe.

Answer 4

It would be a great learning experience for sure, although it'd be a bit of a shock to have hair all over my body and I'd feel weird trying to walk around with something dangling down between my legs(sorry, no offence guys, just being honest here). But on the plus side, it'd be a relief to not have to wear a bra.

Answer 5

No, I wouldn't. I like being a woman. I have no reason to become a man for any length of time.

Answer 6

I would-maybe, just to see how it would be and feel. I think some difficulties would be having to adjust to some things, like going into the correct restroom, etc. But easiness, I wouldn't be quite that sure...

Answer 7

No I like being a woman too much

Answer 8

ofcourse!! a man for one day would be pretty intresting.,.
-i could go take a walk in the middle of the night and feel safe'
-i would talk to men and ask them all their 'boy things'
-fist fight :D
-walk without my shirt feeling hot and not slutty...
-shave my beard
-feel a mans orgasm and see if it is better

and the fact that i'l get to live like a guy for one day is good enough for me to explore their world
now the bad things-
- a chick could call me a jerk and i wont be able to pull her hair or hit her

thats it i guess...i wouldnt mind waking up as a man tomorrow morning for one day

Answer 9

I am sorry I could never be a man for a day, as much as I love men, I have to admit I would never fill the shoes properly.

Answer 10

Hell yeah I'd do it!!!! Just hell yeah! That would probably be like the most interesting thing I could be for a day...maybe then I'll understand you silly suckers!
