Assume that one is born in a First World nation in a middle to upper class.

The best thing would be born into power. Then it doesn't matter anyway. A wealthy woman, a dirt poor man, or vice versa. The one with the power will be better off for the head start.

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.

It's best to be born magic, IMO

Indeed, it is less of a hassle to be born male or female.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

First world? Doesn't matter. Other than still earning less when being female and having a harder time climbing the job ladder.

Money, on the other hand, is everything.

I think it is best to not be born at all.

It seems to me women get a rough deal physically, when it comes to having to cope with menstruation and giving birth. (The second is optional, of course, but if it's going to happen it's always the women doing it.) I certainly don't envy those things. Except for the added vulnerability of being hit in the sack, it seems men don't have something to endure to even this out.

On the other hand, women are beautiful and graceful, and men look fucking ridiculous. Especially when it comes to the genitals. Also, I suspect women can enjoy sex to a more powerful extreme than men, and can have multiple orgasms. Blokes just get the one, unless you believe those lying erotic stories.
Feel free to send me a private message.

Jesus, can you imagine me born female ??

Damn, I'd be down at the harbor every night waiting for a Turkish freighter to dock.

I don't think your sex really matters in the first world that much.
