594.0. "If YOU could come back..." by CSC32::K_JOHNSON (It's only natural!) Fri Dec 21 1990 23:08

    
    For discussion's sake, if you were to come back for another lifetime
    and had the choice, would you choose to live your next life as a
    Woman, or a Man (or neither!), and why?...

    As a woman...
    
    Because we can have multiple orgasms.

594.2besides I *like* being a womanBTOVT::THIGPEN_Sfreedom: not a gift, but a choiceFri Dec 21 1990 23:236
    as a woman, because I don't understand men
    
    do I understand women? next question please
    
    maybe as a cat.  cats are the coolest animals that hang around humans. 
    Or maybe a lynx (in good rabbit years).

    first response (lite)
    
    as a puppy who has an owner who would be as good to me as I was
    to my dogs!
    
    It's hard to say, but I think if I could come back and have
    complete recall of my former life as a woman, I'd like to 
    come back as a man.  Not to oppress anyone, but just to
    actually be in a man's shoes to experience the subtle
    nuances in everyday life that many feel give men the
    controlling edge in society.

    Personally, I think it'd be good for everyone if they lived their next 
    life as the opposite sex of what they are in this one. That way, mabey
    it would help everyone develope a better appreciation, tolerance, and
    understanding for their "opposite"; something this world would no doubt
    benefit from...What do you think?....

    I'd come back as a wild porpoise or an unfettered horse.  None of this
    human garbage for me next time.  Too many flaws in the structure, not
    enough humility in the heart, and too far from the grounding of nature
    for survivability....

Well, I've enjoyed the human experience and would be happy coming back 
as a man, despite the enticement of D!'s reasonings.  Given a choice however
I'd like to come back either as a cat or a large bird, an osprey or something
similar.  Except I'd prefer my fish cooked.

    I'd choose to come back as a woman again in the hopes of being able to
    recover my current jewelry collection and continue wearing it.  :-)
    
    Most of my tastes in everything are too feminine for me to imagine ever
    being a man, unless the sex roles change significantly in our society.  
    When I try to think of myself as coming back as a male, the only thing
    I can picture is Arnold hiding in his mother's closet trying on
    lipstick and girl's clothes in the opening scene of "A Torch Song
    Trilogy."  That scene is the closest I can get to imagining myself as a
    boy.  (I don't mean to imply that there is anything "wrong" with being
    a gay male because I don't think there is, but unless society were to
    become far more open minded I wouldn't choose the hassle.)

594.23GOLF::KINGRMy mind is a terrible thing to use...Wed Dec 26 1990 21:456
    I'd like to add a little twist to this note.. If I may...
    You have a chose of what gender you would like to come back as but
    as the history as it has been written what time frame would you like to
    come back to?  What century?  What time in what country?

    REK 
594.24As a MAN, for at least the next 25 years... :-)NEMAIL::KALIKOWDBaby carries no cash!Thu Dec 27 1990 07:1424
    ... because Masters & Johnson have proven, through extensive psycho-
    physiological instrumentation, coupled with psychophysical,
    psychological, sociological, and socioeconomic research that (quoting
    now) "Women experience (read "are paid") only .69 of the pleasure of
    men, on a per-orgasm basis."
    
    The good news:  This is up from a mere .59 only 15 years ago, so at
    current rates of improvement, orgasmic parity should be achieved in
    about 25 years.  
    
    After that point is reached, I *might* consider returning as a woman. 
    But Not A Moment Sooner!!  :-)
    
    Perhaps Virginia Slims was referring to this steady progress when they
    coined the slogan 
                     "You've COME a long way, baby!!"
                                   ??

    As a man, but more importantly, I want to come back bigger
    than I am now - taller and with bigger bones and muscles.

    I'd like to try being male just to see what sex would be like as a
    man, but if I had to return as a human it would definately be as a
    woman.  So far my favorite part of this life was feeling my son
    grow inside of me, and I wouldn't want to go through a full life
    without being able to experience that.
