I am happy that I am a man. I am a man that believes there in an inherent difference between men and women. Men are inherently better at some things, women at others. This is not a judgment and I’m not advocating that one sex is better than the other. They are different, yet equal.

That said, I would absolutely be a woman for a defined period of time with a guarantee that I would switch back. I’m not sure a day, however, is long enough to experience the differences.

Unequivocally, YES! I would love to know what it feels like to sleep until I am “ready” to get up. I would appreciate not having to undress every time I go pee. I would give anything to have a calling that doesn’t DO anything. And I certainly would enjoy the excitement of looking under the hood of a car, and knowing what I was looking at.

Yes. Heck yes. …With exactly the same 2 provisions you outlined, of course.

In my 24 hours I would want to discover:
1. what makes women cry at anything sentimental at the drop of the hat.
2. what women really think when they look at other women. (hatred, jealousy, etc)
3. what women really think when they look at men.
3.5 which emotions are stronger (looking at men vs women)
4. why women find everything “adorable”
5. see what it’s like to have more options than polo/tshirt and jeans/shorts to wear

After all was said and done though, I would HANDS DOWN still prefer to be a man.
