What is your favorite part of being a girl?

Asked by leopardgecko123 (777points) July 5th, 2011

Every girl has their advantages of being a girl. What’s your favorite part of it all?
I love being able to wear pretty much anything and looking fine. Dressing up is fun. You can be close to friends without people thinking you’re gay. Spa days. Dressing up for casual things and not being judged. I don’t have to worry about pick up lines or anything. Pretty much everything but periods.

I like having a vagina instead of a penis, bigger boobies, and softer skin.

Am I the only one that is struggling with how “being able to wear pretty much anything and looking fine” and “dressing up for casual things and not being judged” are related to being a girl?

I can’t think of anything that really jumps out as something that I love to do or something that I particularly enjoy that relates directly to my being female. Men can enjoy spa days and dressing up just as much as women can, among a million other things. Don’t get me wrong, I like being a girl, I just can’t think of anything specific that makes it uber-special.

Smooth skin and curvy body and I’m glad I can wear silky night gowns in the summer time. I love the feeling of the cool silk against my skin when I go to bed at night. It always feels refreshing at the end of a hot long day.

I like having my own set of boobies to play with, whenever I want.

The only thing that comes to mind, at least in my culture, is the ability to wear a skirt or dress without being judged. Even then, it is done infrequently.

Being female made me aware of male privilege. From an early age I noticed that boys and girls were raised and socialized differently, and once I was old enough to really think about things it made me uncomfortable. For a while I stewed over that- I totally had my head up my ass about it. But later I started to realize that I was privileged in many ways, too. I was born into a lot of advantages that other people didn’t have, and it wasn’t fair. Empathy comes naturally to many people, but for me it was a learned behavior. If I hadn’t been born female, I might have never had reason to figure that out.

Also, I just love the shape, look, and feel of the female body. Women’s bodies are so soft and curvy. I’m definitely not, like, this prime example of femininity or anything. But there’s something undeniably awesome about being the owner of my temple, having a female body and doing whatever I want with it.

I like that all my “junk” is safely “tucked away” inside my body instead of one of my most important organs, just hanging there, on the outside of my body where anything could happen to it, for god’s sake. How do men deal with that?

I may have more serious answer latter but for now, that it.

Like @Haleth, I love my female shape and all the ways I can dress it up and make it move. Also like @Haleth, I’ve always been aware of the male advantage/privilege and have had a good deal of envy there. Like @lillycoyote, I’m glad my “bits” aren’t jingling and jangling about. My lady bits are like a secret world- enter at your own risk!

Getting to have girl on girl sex is the best part of being a girl.

I love being able to wear makeup and change how I look by the day without encountering any odd looks.

Pick-up lines. If I said the things I say to get laid as a guy, I’d get slapped across the face. It’s generally super easy to pick someone up, since I don’t have to worry about coming off as as a creeper.

Being a mom.

Boobs are pretty fun. :)

I also like to engage in more “man-like” hobbies and surprise the hell out of the guys I hang out with. It’s pretty funny :)

@Haleth I adore your answer. I would like for one day to experience the world from a woman’s perspective as a woman.
