No thats not it at all. Last time this came up, some suggested
I dress up as a woman, but that misses the point entirely. In fact,
I would be quite squicked by that whole ordeal, as well as feel silly
as hell. No, Im not looking for *any* social interaction from
a woman's point of view: Im hetero to the bone.
What I *would* like to do is be able to *see* the world thru
a woman's eyes. Just for one week. If I were to devour a
handful of birth control pills, would I learn what it feels like
to have PMS? Would I see more colors? Would I lose the
urge to click thru all the channels and would I lose the urge
play the air-guitar every time I hear Mark Knoffler?

And reversibly? Would I lose my sex drive temporarily?
I dont care if I get sterile, especially if it is reversible.
Obviously I would not want to lose the old sex drive tho.
My notion is that I would be a better companion for
my chosen female wife, if I could only understand what
she is seeing.
Observation: for some reason which I have never
understood, women seem to grok men's feelings
better than men grok women's feelings. Loree, someone
who has been both may have a unique insight on this.
Anyone else is welcome to comment on this observation.
Does it ring true to you? I figure if I gave myself a dose
of estrogen, I could be as empathetic as she is.
