Ok, since I said (for the sake of fairness) I'd blog the ways it's great to be a woman, and also because as usual Meta makes some good points, see extended.
-The fact that you can adorn yourself in many ways to enhance (or contrast with) your beauty is amazing:
-Being adored or revered for your outer self - getting to revel in someone else's reflection of your beauty.
-Freedom to wear sensual things, things that feel good as well as look good. Men can wear silk, but usually not in panties and bras and skirts - things that caress the skin. And skirts feel so good when they are light that they move against your skin in a breeze - the fact that you can make your own breeze to make the skirt caress your skin as you walk is something I bet most men don't get to experience. And it's great to wear velour or velvet or cashmere - anything that not only you want to touch, but other people want to touch as well.
-Flirting - I can flirt with anyone, men/women/children without someone questioning my sexuality - I can just do it because it's fun. And get them to flirt back to me.
-Touching - women have the freedom to touch other people in non-sexual ways and get the sensual benefits. As Meta mentions, we can give and receive hugs freely, or link arms when we're walking or hold hands to keep from losing each other in a crowd. Even sitting snuggled up against another woman isn't either sexual or taken as some strange slight on our sexuality the way it seems to be if a man touches and is affectionate with another man. (Ok, maybe less so in my current crowd of friends, but with other groups of people the homophobia was so rampant that guys would only hug each other if they could throw in a little violence with a big manly slap on the back.)
-Dancing - I can go on the dance floor with most any other girl or a guy and dance my ass off and laugh and have a good time and enjoy the hell out of it without thinking that I look like an idiot (mostly because I don't care if I look like an idiot or not so long as I enjoy the music).
-Being able to span worlds - I can be the only girl who hangs with the guys to go to car events, or be the only woman in most of my meetings in my work life, or I can go up to most any woman and find something to chat about. I can blend into casual social events, or upscaled hoity-toity events or anything I want to as easily as changing clothes.
-Empowerment - the more people tell me (or imply) that I can't do something because I'm a woman, the more fire it gives me to blow beyond their puny expectations for me.
-Emotionality - I think this part is both my favorite part of being a woman, and part of the curse of being a woman. I get more opportunities to express my feelings and to be in touch with what happens inside of me emotionally that men do. But then there's the PMS thing (which sucks ass - I agree with Meta on that one). If I want to be a dork and write poetry or talk about how cute puppies and kittens and hearts and flowers and pandas are, people don't look at me like I'm a freak. (Well, they might because I don't usually talk about those things, but they'll probably just let it go.) Maybe it's just the freedom to express the positive emotions as well as the negative emotions that's liberating - if I think to tell another person how cool they are or how excited I am about something in my life I get to do that equally as much as talking about anger or fear or other negativity.
