If I were a boy...

My life would be very different if I was born a male, and many aspects of my life would have to 
change immediately. I would have to find a new favorite color, therefore my entire room would have to be 
remodeled or destroyed. My interest and activities would definitely have to change as well, it would no 
longer be appropriate to shop on the weekends or watch Titanic every single time it airs on television. I 
would have to learn the rules of basketball, football, baseball and soccer. Instead of leaving video games as 
in my childhood, I would have to not only relearn how to play video games but master them as well. 
Personally, I do not think that I would be as close to my sisters as I am now. As a male I would not be able 
to relate to them as they well as they are able to relate to one another. 
BOY or GIRL??




Overall, I am glad that I am a girl. :-)


Being a different gender would definitely change my life.  Society 
demands that men, become extremely versed in sports. They are called  
to remember statistics, scores and schedules. As stated above, as a man 
would have to learn the rules to these games. In addition, I would have 
to spend countless hours on a Sunday watching other men run around 
on their respective fields. Society has also taught us that women are supposed to be dainty.  Although, it is not a sin for a woman to love 
sports more than shopping. However, as a male it would be wrong for me to have a pink water bottle, book bag, watch and cellphone etc. In general, society's gender roles allows me to ignore ESPN and to wear pink heels without opposition.
