You're very brave LH, posting such thoughts here! (Who's de man, who's de MAN!) And I must say you've made some interesting and valid points -- BUT -- I think you're only seeing half the meadow if you know what I mean. The part you may NOT see includes:

* approx 4 decades of monthly sojourns to the itty-bitty-shitty-pot, while being expected to ACT like one is NOWHERE NEAR that itty-bitty-shitty-pot;

* about 6 or 7 decades of doing double duty in the home (ie breadwinner PLUS chief bed-maker/bottle washer/baby-tender) most of which could be classified as slave labour (particularly during said sojourns to shitty-pot)

* being at least a thousand times as likely as men to be sexually harrassed, abused and/or raped every time you walk out your door

* having to deal with the fact that your orgasms can, if you're not careful, quite often cause you 9 months of severe bloating, followed by few months/years of UDDER service (moo moo) and a whole lifetime of parental responsibility - which, as a female, you are much more likely to have to face all by your lonesome.

I only listed 4, but they're biggies in my book! So count your blessings, LH. And don't worry, there's always next time round....
