I always have this fascinating (devious????) thought: what is it like to be someone of the opposite (biological) sex, to be doing, thinking, talking, etc the exact opposites of what I have been incalcucated (or indoctrined???) from our first cry? Wearing pink clothes, having to tie those ponytails, experiencing monthly cramps, having a much fuller chest, being allowed the liberty to open and close those tear glands at will, and to my advantage, and the list goes on...
All because of a single strand of -thing- that is perhaps nano-milimetres (I have truly forgotten all my biology, esp human biology; i faintly remember meiosis and mitosis though...) in length; the Y chromosome.
Perhaps, the characteristics that are exclusive to males ( e.g Having external genitalia) or are seeen to be better than females (physical strength, in general; I do agree that strong women exist.) seem to favour men, such that they are seen to have put men at an advantage over women, that male are the more "complete" sex than female. At least, in a patriachial society, that is how sexuality is viewed. But have you ever stopped to wonder, what if....
The reverse is true?!
That, us men are the "inferior", lousier sex all along!!!
Hard to stomach eh?
But it can well be likely that way... Think:
- There are a few serious disorders that can only happen to you if you are male; I cant remember any examples but I know that there are some...
- Some disorders are more prevalent in the male population; from the ST internship, I learnt that stuttering is one of these disorders-I have seen only one female case and probably about 10+ male cases in my 1-month stay in SGH
- If a reproductive cell has only a single X chromosome, it can reduplicate to form a pair of XX chromosomes (meaning the newborn will be a female), but a single Y chromosome can never reduplicate/replicate itself....
- The Y chromosome has much lesser DNA (35 million pairs) as compared to an X (200 million pairs; roughly about 6 times more)
- Research (dunno reliable or not though) has shown that the success rate is higher for someone to change from male to female, rather than female to male
- Multiple orgasms are highly possible for females but highly improbable for males - 'nuff said.
- All the body hair, the deep voice, the extra sweat glands, the incomplete mammary glands, the absence of monthly cramps - probably due to the absence of the 2nd X chromosome (My own theory, not backed anyone else...)
See my point? It has even been postulated that the male species may be on its way to extinction! Read THIS!!!
SO..... the point of this entry... is that, perhaps men have already predicted their demise from the beginning of time (sorry, no references to religion or what; i agree that what I am about to say is probaly blasphemous, but it is all HYPOTHETICAL....), and thus decided to sieze the upper hand when the women had not begun to realise that they actually held the upper hand and sieze the initiative for the patriachial society to take shape... and now its pay-back time! Probably another century from now, females will greatly out-number males...
Now you see the reason for my title for this entry; barring a catastrophe, women will dominate the world in time to come....
Tongue-in-cheek Sex change tests:
For Males who wanna be Females
For Females who wanna be Males
Update: The Y Chromosome seems to be not as wimpy as it seems to be; read THIS.
Signing off............. Things could have been different if I had been born with XX........
