    Exactly what I came here to say. Well, I would specify sex rather than gender. I wouldn’t want to be born female at any point in history.

      I guess at least there are those specific moments in history when, if you were to be born in a specific country, being a woman at least significantly increases your life expectancy.

      If I knew what shit was about to go down and I had to be born in, say, Soviet Russia in 1925, I would probably have opted to be a woman. Not because it seems so darn great, but because chances of at least making it to age 30 would significantly improve.

      Then again, not a point in history I would particularly favour.
