Toradora 7 – Why I STILL want to be male in my next life

While I don't believe in reincarnation, I've always maintained that I would STILL want to be a guy in my next life. No offense to the other half of the world but ~~being able to stand and pee beats the daylights out of multiple orgasms~~ the female body, though an improvement over the male physique, pays a steep steep price with monthly maintenance. I quote a high school friend, one of the brightest in class -

"How can you lose to a girl? They're whacked out of sorts 5 days every month..."

I assure he's still very much alive and in fact happily married (to an overachieving wife). Anyhow I digress. Back on Toradora 7

I had the privilege of hearing from a few candid female friends about their growing pains and mammarian development was always a key issue. Noting that it was also often a widely discussed topic about the boys in my class then, I absolutely understand the ladies concern. But as if teenage life wasn't already complicated enough with the hormones, crushes and academic pressure, I'd surely stab someone if I had to be mindful of what the boy sitting beside me thought of my chest. (2nd biggest concern apparently is linking to the ever-widening bottom. Boy, being a girl is tough.) And if you thought Taiga's predicament was humiliating try these real-life scenarios -

"Is that tissue sticking out of your bra?"

"So how much are Maximisers going for now?"

I wish I was kidding. In addition, I WOULD be worried if I were Taiga. It's not just a matter of fulfilling maternal duties or 'style' (as the Japanese puts it). Having a lolicious figure in Japan means you WILL attract special interest groups and unlike what Mayumi (SHUFFLE!) claims, it's not a status to be enjoyed.

Yes, I want to be a guy in my next life.

PS: This post was born out of a tremendous enjoyment of Toradora 7 - Onward to 8!

I love that you called it “special interest groups”. At least asian countries are like the minor league of curves, so the competition is not as fierce.

Unless you end up a Kouta. Then you might wish you were a girl

Not to mention that used tampons smell terrible. At my dorm, we have co-ed bathrooms. There’s this bucket thing mounted to the wall where they throw their tampons out (you can’t flush them). Every time I walk into the stall, I’m blasted with a noxious odor like someone just took a huge dump. I talked about this with the girl across the hall from me, and apparently she doesn’t mind at all since she’s “gotten used to the smell”.

Men – Where the world is our urinal
Women – Don’t trust anything that bleeds for 5 days and lives

While reading this, the Vagina Monologues that my school has every year (around this time) where women stand in front of an audience and speak their grievances over that particular female body part (or how it’s portrayed in society). Never attended one myself though.

Erm…anyway, I need to catch up with this show…

If I end up as a girl in my next life I will likely turn into Maria Holic’s Kanako. Bleeding more five days a month will seem less significant then, although admittedly it is from a different orifice.

Kabitzin: In fact, the lolicious 3 sizes in anime are considered good proportions for RL adult ladies over here! And folks wonder why I always preferred lolicious sizes in anime XD

lelangir: Kouta? Elfen Lied? Man I need to catch that show sometime

Beowulf Lee : Heh, never a fan of co-ed toilets.

Phuong : LOL, I remember hearing the 2nd one before… from a female fren no less.

Asrialys: I saw snippets of it on TV. Pretty candid stuff. Anyhow I need to catch up too. Ami’s getting to delicious to hold off for so long XD

DKellis : Looks like I need to get into Maria holic too. I hear it’s more about Kanako than Maria?

hmmmm, girls…. especially small petite ones. that’s my only comment. There’s a hilarious little french animated short about a guy that wakes up as a girl.

I’ll dig up the URL and post it. Hopefully, this new implementation of Hontouni won’t keep disappearing off the DNS map like the previous one. I have more trouble connecting some weeks.

Heh. I’ve always wondered what it would be like to experience the other side. I mean, women can have a large hold over certain men… *cough*stripey*cough*…yes you stripey! Well lolis/siscons in your case
