At least I wouldnt be discriminated against.
At least I wont have people starring at my chest or my behind.
At least I wouldnt have to shave my whole body.
At least I wouldnt be having parents resitricting me from travelling or pursuing my life the way I want it to be..
At least I would do whatever without being looked at by society as unbehaved, bitch, or bold.
At least I would be loved and appreciated by my female boss.
At least I would be loved and looked highly upon by the patriarchal society i'm living in.
At least I wouldnt be scared of rape or physical harrassment.
At least I woudnt have trouble with issues like virginity, honor, dignity, and all other cultural issues that have to do with women. If a man goes sleeping with all the women in the country he would be seen as "saye3 and experienced" and when he gets married, he is recognised as "rabena hadah" (he's blessed by God). And his past is usually all gone. But if a woman is known to be having sex, she is a whore and is not expected to get married. Although our religion treats adultry in the same way with the same punishment, our society favors men over women.
I wish I was a boy, at least I would understand what women want. I would respect their feelings, understand their mood swings, their emotionality, their insecurities and fear. I wish I was a boy, I would have taken care of my partner, hugged her whenever I could and always made her know how gorgeous she is.
I wish I was a boy, to be able to deal with the outter world filled with jerks, and opportunists. I wouldnt have been all fragile, naiive and sensitive. I wouldnt have been responsible for the kids, the house, the shopping, the groceries, the decisions, the husband.
At least, I wouldnt face all the shit that comes with menstruation and its hectic cycle.
I want to be a boy for crying out loud.
