This question is slightly in response to a seeing comments about which gender has it worse when it comes to dating. In a hypothetical magical scenario where you keep your gender but somehow everything is switched would you make that switch?

For women you would no longer be at as much risk of domestic violence, SA, and general harassment but you would also be expected to make most of the first moves. Society cares a lot less about your feelings, don’t get the benefit of the doubt in altercations with the opposite sex, essentially invisible to most people etc

For men, you would have virtually unlimited sexual options, but you are only really physically attracted to a fraction of them and the prospects of long term commitment are slim to none. You get a lot more attention from the opposite sex but a lot of it is unwanted attention. You are also at a much higher risk for inter-gender violence.

Do you switch places or stay where you are?

(Side note: I’m not implying that there are only two genders, and am not trying to downplay the dating struggles of our transgender and non binary communities. But for the purposes of this post I’m only curious about men and women)
