Knowing what you know about the differences between males and females and the gender norms that come with them which would you pick if you had a choice before birth and why? And what is your current gender? (Note: I am not asking about trans-sexuality really but more about which one you think would be better for your personality and character. (E.g a straight girl could easily have likings that confirm to masculine gender norms and vice versa)
Personally I'm a guy and I'd chose to be a girl if I had the choice.
Because women don't have to prove that they are tough, when men aren't macho they become outcasts. As a geek I'd prefer to be female. Also I like how its socially acceptable for girls to wear more types of clothing and experiment. If a man wore a skirt it would just be seen as weird, even though logically skirts have nothing to do with gender.
Also women tend to be more open with their friends etc and for men like its seen as weak to admit some things etc. As a dude I can't confirm to what society expects from males and have a personaility that matches female gender norms more. Although I am a straight male.
Since I have a lot of female friends, I find that friendships with females are often more genuine and carring about each other although this is not a definite rule.
However as far as careers go I'd still chose a STEM field which are male dominated.
