Hello folks:
in answer to the original question: "are you glad god made you a Man?"
I am very glad God, in his infinite wisdom, made me a "manly man." I like the fact that I can improve my appearance by being lazy: forget to shave for several weeks!
In addition, I do not have to worry about the Glass Ceiling... On the subject of shaving, I like the fact that, for a man, shaving is generally optional AND I only need to shave where I can see and easily reach!
I am glad my haircuts are still less than 15 dollars including a generous tip. I am glad my clothes are more comfortable and are of much higher quality for same $$.
On the other hand, I am glad that I do not have to put up with my own monthly emotional swings with the accompanying physical discomforts... I do not have to wear pantyhose or bras! Cannot see them being comfortable at all... I am glad I do not have to deal with the physical problems of pregnancy... However, I am very sure that God has provided counterbalancing stuff to the women that make it all worth while, like watching men do insane things to get a woman's attention...
However being God's Man does have some drawbacks: following Christ's example as a servant leader is real tough at times. His treatment of the Church is a real difficult example to follow when I want to treat my wife properly... Courteous, respectful and helpful is a good beginning...
When God is discussing things that went wrong, I still am the first one He calls on the carpet... sometimes that is NOT fun...
And Yes, I have my wife's permission to say these things! I ALWAYS get the last 2 words in EVERY one of our conversations: Yes Ma'am. (tee hee, tee hee)
