Suppose you have been given a magical wish. You can make one change that will affect everyone on the Earth, but only of one sex or the other - men or women. Which would you change?
And no cope out of "neither because I like the way we are" either. If you choose neither you have to justify why any change would be undesirable.


I would change women so that we could control conception. We could say to ourselves, "yes, this time" and "no, not this time" and that's how it would be.

It would still depend on all the things that determine it now, so that no one could know whether it didn't happen because you didn't want it or because of other natural causes.

I don't know if any of the other mavens have mentioned this..I'm at Pixel Dolls right now...they are having a $10L Retirement Sale.

Pixel Dolls is retiring? Haven't they been around from like year one (or at least some distant time before I joined)?

Hmmm, interesting question.

My first choice would be to change women. I'll delay posting what the actual change would be until I come up with one that is not totally selfish. :D


For some reason when I saw this, I thought of the end of "Dude, Where's My Car?"

(Maybe I'd stop women trying to change men.)


You don't know what you're saying. Some men would never bathe!

I was going to agree with Tex. :D

But I change my answer. I don't care which I'd change. But I'd change one so that men and women are speaking the same flippin' language! Cause we just don't understand each other right now. :p

I do not understand what you are saying. Did you switch to dolphin? What is this flippin' language that you speak of? Is that dolphin? Are any dolphins involved, at all, in the production of your post?

Goodbye, and thanks for all the fish

I'd change women,so that they weren't so reliant on men. Make it so we don't need the male population for anything. \o/

I don't think she is retiring, probably just retiring some items

How exactly would that work? We wouldn't be getting any extra parts, I hope.

I cashed out some lindens last Thursday. They have STILL not gone in my paypal account. WTF? I have never had to wait more than 2-3 days before. I'm gonna go in-world and beat the shit out of my linden bears if I don't get my money soon.

Actually,I don't need men for anything personally. Well except for the mechanic who is going to do my oil change today,cause I refuse to mess with it myself.

Wanting though,is a different story...

Not everyone likes the same things. A picture or object you may find beautiful and fascinating, I may find repulsive and boring.

art is very personal, indeed.

But...but...you'd take all the mystery out of it! ;)

I'd change men (notice how everyone wants to change the OTHER sex? We must all be politicians at heart, intent on doing things to others For Their Own Good.)

I'd give 'em detachable penises, just like in SL.

Pants would fit better. It'd be easier for them to cross their legs and chill out. And it would make the poor dears MUCH less vulnerable to accidental or intentional harm.

And it would add new meaning to the old phrase, "Is that a mouse in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me?"

I'm sorry. I should have just gone away and come back tomorrow. I had deleted that post (and a couple others) anyway.

He desperately wishes he could squeeze you and he has no social skills, so the only thing he can revert to is pushing buttons.

... and the wrong ones at that... :p

And this is an indication of why we should be sympathetic to your whinging?
