Man, I Feel Like A Woman!

Gillo

I would have thought the ESRI to be relatively impartial, can you post a link to the report?

Been a hot blooded bloke I always feel like a woman;)
But to be serious first time, I really felt like a man was when I got my first proper job and moved out, although I don't think there was ever one defining moment when I thought yeah I am a man.

It's as on topic as most threads are. Threads diviate. It's no big deal.



Didn't say you had.

I haven't.

Threads take a journey. Someone says something, Somone responds to what they said, something that person says strikes a chord and another person pipes in.

It's not off-topic, however feel free to disregard what I said. It wasn't a personal attack or in reference to anyone here.

Right so. Let's just forget it. It was just that I didn't really feel that it was relevant but I'm not gonna go on about it so moving on....:)

Guys can we keep on topic, as said before if you want to discuss other things start a new thread.

Thanks

Also the original post was started by woman, in a forum aimed mainly at woman, so it is not necessarlily for the girlie, hey look at me i pay my own bills, i got my own money, destinys child singing blah blah.

It just so happens that most girls feel they have reached adult/womanhood when they are self sufficient. But as you can see others feel it at different times. And talking about "traditional roles" i would of thought that in this day and age we would of scraped the idea of the women as "Little Susie Homemaker" and the men being the "Providers". We are not in the dark ages here people, ya know women can vote too now!

First time you get sexually assaulted.

it's scary time the first time some woman and her child come up to you and she says "give the money to the lady" to the child instead of "give the money to the girl/bawbah"

hmmmmm interesting topic.......

i first realised i was an adult when i declined to go out on the razz one Tuesday night because i just couldn't face work the next day with a hangover.

I first realised that I was a "woman" when after a few wonky smears and cancerous cell results, I was sitting in the specialists office and he told me that it would not affect my ability to have children, I burst into tears with the relief. It was the first time that the whole "bigger picture" hit me.

The first time i felt like a woman was when a lady (any woman over the age of 50 imo is a lady) I use to work with commented that she liked the way I dressed for work that day. I had started wearing jewelry to work and make up done proper - must of been a good week.
As girls wearing make-up is abit taboo in some households - Im sure every girl has come across either parent saying - You are not going out looking like that - speech. But when you start presenting yourself as adult you get respected for it.

I had a "I'm a woman, not a girl" moment last night. I had my parents over for a roast dinner (very grown up!) and my mother announced that as i was serving the gracy in a large bowl she was getting me a gravy boat for Christmas. What made me feel "womanly" about it is that I was pleased. I really need a gravy boat!!

I suppose fancying men does it for me. And wearing corsets...

perhaps it would! ah no, i hear you girl, sure i've a juicer and coffee percolator (sp) and a few other kitchen accoutrements that a few years back would have had me reaching for the phone book to call the men in the white coats.

when a gravy boat makes sense, then you know there's no turning back.

i dunno, i accrue loads of kitchenware, doesnt make me feel old. though i worry for my family when i move out and take half the kitchen w/ me

I got excited about a new set of glasses the other day.... God im sad!

I get excited over things like candles, cookers, bed linen,towels, glasses, cutlery, cooking utensils. I sometimes feel like a woman, sometimes a girl. I don't really want to be a proper grown up- but knowing that in the next 5 years I want to be married, own my own house and have kids/ kids on the way makes me feel like a grown up. Esp as the thought excites me. I also sometimes want a Saturday night in. Probably the first time I felt really womanly was looking in my boyfriends eyes and knowing I had never felt so safe in my life.

I think I'm still a girl. Nobody's called me a woman yet - closest they've come is calling me a "young lady". I'll probably balk the first time anyone calls me a woman...

Not long now!!! :eek:

My first time I felt like a woman, as in, felt every bit female, was when I had the first real long bitch and moan about the bane of our lives that is the monthly haemorrhage.

I had my 30th birthday last week and I don't think anyone has ever called me a woman in my life, I think I would cry if they did!

Had a very happy moment in New York a few weeks ago when a bouncer asked me for ID
