what gender would you choose?
I would choose to be a man because I don't think the penis could ever fail to bring entertainment.

believe me it can

I would choose male. I'm not sure why yet. It seems easier would be a really pat thing to say, and it's not really what I mean.

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 02:32 (twenty-two years ago)

And what I mean is "Dude, guy on guy action."

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 02:33 (twenty-two years ago)

I would choose male, they generally seem more sensible, less given to theatrics.

make an outrageous generalisation here

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 02:41 (twenty-two years ago)

I said generally

― ipsofacto (ipsofacto), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 02:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Either way I'd still be a dork, so I'd stick with being female.

Hey, that was for everyone.

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 02:43 (twenty-two years ago)

ok :)

Boobs.

Sorry wrong thread

― Krankenhaus, Wednesday, 2 June 2004 02:45 (twenty-two years ago)

You sure?

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 02:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Uhh, I was looking for the 'describe dave matthews bandmates thread'

― Krankenhaus, Wednesday, 2 June 2004 02:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Womanb because if I'm ever bored, I COULD LOOK AT MYSELF IN THE MIRROR.

― Lazer Guided Mellow Leee (Leee), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 02:53 (twenty-two years ago)

And slowly chip away at your self esteem by repeatedly checking off your many flaws.

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 02:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes, but the minute or so of living out my puerile teenage fantasy...!

― Lazer Guided Mellow Leee (Leee), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 02:58 (twenty-two years ago)

i would like to be a man for the duration of one fully consummated guy-on-girl coital act. i just wanna know, to paraphrase the poet, what it feels like for a boy.

― stockholm cindy (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 03:07 (twenty-two years ago)

It feels like you're filleting a gigantic fish.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 03:14 (twenty-two years ago)

that reminds me. i need to buy a gigantic fish.

i'd love to be a skanky ho.

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 03:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Woman.

― Andrew (enneff), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 03:54 (twenty-two years ago)

And a foxy one at that.

― Andrew (enneff), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 03:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, just for the heck, I'd be a hermaphrodite.

― jim wentworth (wench), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 03:57 (twenty-two years ago)

TS hermaphrodite vs. eunuch

hermaphrodite vs. eunuch FITE

― Begs2Differ (Begs2Differ), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 04:45 (twenty-two years ago)

It wouldn't necessarily be with swords.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 04:46 (twenty-two years ago)

No swordfighting then?

― Lazer Guided Mellow Leee (Leee), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 04:49 (twenty-two years ago)

no cockfighting either

― stockholm cindy (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 04:50 (twenty-two years ago)

I was gonna say chick, for the tits, but then I was like, oh yeah, economic inequity and all that. So I'm gonna stay a dude.

― Huck, Wednesday, 2 June 2004 04:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Tits > $

― Lazer Guided Mellow Leee (Leee), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 04:53 (twenty-two years ago)

That's the new math, I think.

― Lazer Guided Mellow Leee (Leee), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 04:53 (twenty-two years ago)

that's an interesting point.

― Huck, Wednesday, 2 June 2004 04:57 (twenty-two years ago)

tits can be a source of income

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 05:11 (twenty-two years ago)

I would definitely be a girl, I've always kind of wanted to anyway.

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 05:13 (twenty-two years ago)

I'd be a girl, because it would suit my personality better, and people wouldn't think I'm gay anymore, and I could be physically close to people without some of them misinterpreting it as sexual, and I wouldn't be called "unmanly" anymore, and I wouldn't be left out of some conversations because "it's a girls' thing".

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 08:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Neither.

― hmmm (hmmm), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 08:52 (twenty-two years ago)

male+you get to ask girls out
female+rare but unbelievably powerful orgasms
ooh tough one.

― lukey (Lukey G), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 09:06 (twenty-two years ago)

at the mo, i'd choose neuter

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 13:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Used to be girl for Tuomas type reasons now pretty much COCK ALL THE WAY for um other reasons

― Mr Mime (Andrew Thames), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 13:22 (twenty-two years ago)

I enjoy being a girl!

― teeny (teeny), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 13:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Grr have they just stopped teaching the difference between "sex" and "gender" these days?

― nabisco apologizes for pedantry, Wednesday, 2 June 2004 14:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Nabisco, I was about to reference Judith Butler on the ILM "influences" thread but at the last minute thought it unwise.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 14:56 (twenty-two years ago)

I'd be a hermaphrodite just so that when people told me to go fuck myself, I could smile and happily oblige them.

― Michael White (Hereward), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 15:01 (twenty-two years ago)

male+you get to ask girls out

Rare? RARE wtf? AHAHAHAAHAHAAHAAHAAHAAAAAAAH. Also, girls can ask people out nowadays in the less well-bred social circles, or so I am led to believe.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 15:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Nabisco!!! I was thinking of you the other day! What are you up to!!

― Sarah (starry), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 15:11 (twenty-two years ago)

(NB I wd stay being a gurl but ARGH that is also the title of a MANSUN song - INADVERTANT REFERENCE HORROR SHOW!!)

― Sarah (starry), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 15:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Nabisco!!! Well what sex will have you? Then?

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 15:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Sex will have me? I've never tried it that way round before.

(Sarah I am up to, umm, living in New York and getting a master's and working and occasionally going #1.)

― nabiscothingy, Wednesday, 2 June 2004 15:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Rare? RARE wtf? AHAHAHAAHAHAAHAAHAAHAAAAAAAH.

Liz, the Mere Male (aka, just about all of us who are male) would like to believe that they're either rare (so we don't feel so inadequate) or, if not rare, that they are caused by us. We are a wretched collection of XY chromosomes for the most part.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 15:35 (twenty-two years ago)

That's basically one half of the reasons for choosing neuter laid out quite nicely right there.

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 19:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Woman.

Partly because when I was pregnant with my baby boy, I had an afternoon of feeling very aggressive and violent (thoughts of raping other women flashed through my brain) and now I theorize that it was a shot of testosterone I was experiencing in the early months of my pregnancy, when my fetus was defining itself as a boy. I would hate to feel testosterony all the time.

But then again, I'd love to not feel weepy/clingy/insecure at that time of the month.

They're both so hot if done right! Not if not.

Doesn't it all really come down to hormones?

i am a genderless morass

― anthony, Thursday, 3 June 2004 05:23 (twenty-two years ago)

it's probably for the best that i'm a guy.

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Thursday, 3 June 2004 05:29 (twenty-two years ago)

I have to say Maria's post unnerves me a bit

― Mr Mime (Andrew Thames), Thursday, 3 June 2004 06:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Man. Because I'd be making 30% more money, and I could pee standing up in the woods. That's worth having to scrap face every morning.

― Possibly Kate Again (kate), Thursday, 3 June 2004 06:59 (twenty-two years ago)

so we're back to filleting the fish again, then, eh?

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Thursday, 3 June 2004 07:06 (twenty-two years ago)

I have to say Maria's post unnerves me a bit

Don't worry, that's the first and last time I've had such thoughts. It felt at the time like something foreign - a hormonal influence.
