I want to die, be a female and be the first evolved human.

@Jayson1 seemed to mean that he'd not only want to experience being female, but be endowed with the memories and experiences of growing up to fully understand what it's like to be a woman. Usually I get irked at people who overly divide male and female qualities (the stupid notion that women are unfathomable or that the sexes are as if from different planets), but Jayson is right that in a patriarchal society a woman's experience is going to be very different from a man's in some important ways.

I've never thought about experiencing total manhood, but I have wished before that I could have a man suit just to try on and see what it's like. I suppose I'd spend my time playing with my penis.

Does that mean as a woman I'd have to stop?

I would like to have all those experiences. I would love to take this ability even futher and see what it would be like to also be real people in the world as well. I'm sure i'm not the only person who sometimes looks at people and wonder what it's like to be them, not just their memories but their emotional connection that comes with those memories as well.

Why do you think you want this?

Curiosity and the fact that it's never been done. People are really intresting so who wouldn't want to know more about a person in greater detail.

If we had a better understanding or people's experiences, we'd have more empathy, and be able to get along better.

Why do people NOT want this?

I don't need to literally live someone else's experiences in order to have empathy for their struggles.

I'm not saying it's the only way, just that it would be a better way.

If I'm reborn, I hope it'll be as a cat.

That seems much more enjoyable than being reborn as a man. I don't really need to have the male experience to understand men either because as a woman you're always told to consider a man's feelings and you're bombarded with the male point of view 24/7.

Well, actually...

We already have a common base and yet we still treat each other worse than sewage. If being the same species does not make some people empathic to other people then nothing will. Some humans like using be 'the other' as a basis for mistreatment.

There will always be those people, but what about the situations where we don't realise we're being offensive, or need to be empathetic?

I agree that you don't need it for empathy but wouldn't you at least try it and see what it would be like? It could be a experience that changes your worldview or maybe it would just be something that is fun. Either way you could at least say you did something truly unique.

Then you live and learn and claim ignorance.

Why be "a female" btw? What's wrong with calling us women?

I'm pretty sure there's plenty of "I'm not racist/sexist/homophobic, but"'s who don't realise what they're saying and who never learn.

And such is life.

And such is life.

But maybe not if we/they had a better idea of other peoples experiences on the other side of "I'm not ..., but"?

They aren't that great.

 

[Mudd]

Eh, mine's pretty awesome.




What?



It is a bit interesting to consider how many times greater the length of time that "evolved humans" - that is, homo sapiens sapiens - have existed and formed communities is than the totality of all recorded history.

We could lose most of that and continue on for hundreds of thousands of years more. We may.

Nothing wrong with it. If I was to have the complete experience though it means it would start from childhood to womenhood so female seems to be a better description.
