I don't think my voice could take all the chatting and I'm certain my memory couldn't retain all the things that my husband or BF said to me all those years and months ago. I like to discuss the issue, reach agreement then forget everything for ever, it leaves room for a simplified operating system.
normally me remembering things from ages ago, namely funny and good things
That wasn't a rant. I get truly epic when I'm ranting. That was a piece of commentary.
I'll be keeping an eye out for one of your rants
Shorts fan here, I suppose that I am of an age of "I don't care what other people think I look like" and will wear them throughout the year. I would also go to the diy shop in clothes covered with paint etc whilst Mrs 4F and the little 4F's tut dissaprovingly
Must be a bloke thing
The wife has been to the pizza takeaway in her pyjamas (t shirt and trousers) with one of my hooded jumpers pulled on for warmth, stolen just after setting off!
I can't see a problem with going in decorating clothes to the DIY shop - trade people do it all the time, it just looks like you've nipped out for supplies part way through the job.
Women can't drink as much alcohol as men, and suffer more from hangovers.

you have not met my mother-in-law
she's possibly descended from irish dock workers, but i have little evidence to back this up
Generally these days, 'sex' refers to one's biological chromosomes which determine one's genitalia and therefore whether one is male or female.
'Gender', however, refers to how far one ascribes to the so-called 'appropriate' behaviour for your sex - how far you act as masculine or feminine (according to how society thinks masculine and feminine should be).
So, you can be male, but not masculine, or female, but not feminine. (i.e sex and gender are not the same thing!!!) Some females do not identify as women, just as some males do not identify as men.
However......
Would i like to be a member of the opposite sex??
I could pee in the woods more easily....
Wouldn't have periods.....
Get to wear cooler clothes.... (can't be doing with skirts - yeuch!)
Could laugh loudly when i fart loudly....
Wouldn't have to apologise for not being tidy or forgetting birthdays...
But...
Have to shave every day.... - don't think I'd like a beard.
Man bits would get sore cycling......
I'd have to know how to fix things (instinctively)...
Don't think I would like to change sex really. I hate it at times, but i'll stick with being a female, who wears mens clothes from time to time (mens jeans fit me better!) and who doesn't act particularly feminine!
firstly, be who you feel you are,
I grew up being bullied at school, I'm not the only one, it happened, children still get bullied and how to deal with it is a separate issue. Most of the taunting was verbal "you wuss" "your not good at anything" and "your a girl"
the latter affecting how I grew up slightly because it was the girls at school who I found friends with and I remember thinking, around age 10, that life might be better if I were a girl - through my teens, I don't recall thinking this tho.
Meanwhile I was in cubs and scouts, we didn't have girls in scouting then, it was all boys and very little bullying, just a bit in one scout group so I moved, I also was mountain biking on the old pit at every opportunity and pinching my dads tools to fix bikes and build go-karts out of spare bits of wood along with my brother.
In my late teens and at uni, I did often find myself wondering what life would be like if I were female, being a bit envious of the ability girls my age (so not really girls then!) have to express their personality through their clothing - blokes only seemed to have jeens, t shirts / shirts, trainers, women had heels, skirts, dresses, t shirts, jeans, tops etc. I got through this stage in my life with help from some friends - they didn't know at the time but were just true friends like i'd never had before
In my early 20's i still had some effeminate traits, one of my friends used to jokingly call me vicky after vicky buttler-henderson who was a presenter on 5th gear (possibly was on top gear too) as, apparently, my hand flourished onto and off the gear lever of the transit van I was driving exactly how her hand did. I just found it amusing by then.
as time went by, I stopped particularly caring, my parents love me, had some great friends who liked me for just being me and i became comfortable being me, bit more blokely as time went by but nothing particularly macho and now, happily married.
a favoured quote from this time was "don't ask what the world wants, ask yourself, what makes you come alive"
slightly more open and truthful than intended...
never mind, I'm who I am now

Peeing in the woods is indeed fun, but the equipment can get in the way sometimes.
I think its less caring about how you look in the clothes
nothing to stop you laughing when you fart, my wife does so, or tries to blame me!
I don't shave every day, infact I think my wife shaves her legs or armpits more often than I shave my face!
she finds cycling more sore than me but won't believe that my brooks is comfortable
I think my ability to fix things is partly due to my heritage, Great grandad was an engineer, both grandads were engineers, dad's an engineer, brother is an engineer
i'm a designer... not sure what happened there
sorry for the long multi post of doom...
