I wish i were a girl.

I wish I were a girl. Now, people reading this might doubt my integrity or sexual orientation. I mean, who wants to be a girl? (Read it as, guys want to be macho, not feminine.) here again I wish to say, I don’t want to change myself. I just wish that I was born as a girl.

There are many things in my life, which have changed just because I am a guy. There are many social pressures you have to succumb to. One has to set up a family, earn a living, has to forego most of the joys to be an early earner. A guy has to hide his sensitive side, lest he is branded as gay. He cannot shed tears while watching a movie, or later accept the fact that he did so!

I underwent through all this, and I wish I were a girl. Agreed I would have to undergo a lot of physical torment, the PMS, the actual periods and all that. Living in a society where dominant equates with the male sex is difficult.and competing with pigs is more difficult than competing with bitches! But, things would be different. I would be free to laugh and cry, paint and dance, be weird, act stupid and still not be ridiculed at. i would be able to choose my future without much stress on starting an early income! That would be a free life I think. Lesser bindings despite innumerable bonds!

P.S. i know that the grass is always greener on the other side. still, it is a pleasant sight to lean over the fence and watch the greenery.

  1. Ah! Just when Im mulling over my "I wish I was a Guy" thoughts, here I come across a guy who is wishing the other way round!
    Was pleasantly surprised to have across such a thoughtful post in a short span of u having entered the BLOGosphere.
    Lots to say on this post. It would mean a complete encroachement of ur virtual space..so I hold back! It all boils down to just ONE thing..... the grass is always green on d other side of the fence! As of now, I would just like to peep over and take a look at the other side, indulge into some wishful thinking and then be happy about being on the side that I was meant to be!
