Well, I quite like being a girl, in general. There are some things that aren't as nice, like cramps or bad hair days or getting makeup to work or people who think you should act a certain way just because you have ovaries, but overall it's pretty fun! I've read an article or two on the differences between the way men and women think, mostly related to social networking, and that's what I like about being female. The downside of social networking/forming groups is the formation of cliques or people you just plain don't like but can't seem to get rid of, but the group forming itself is fun. I see it as kind of forming a clan of sisterhood, and that's really cool. And so far, I haven't bumped into many people who are like, "OMG why are you doing that you're a girl!!1one!!" I just kind of do my own thing, and it happens to be feminine, whatever my definition of feminine is.

PS: I totally love your Valkyrie idea. Just thought you should know.
