You agree that his role, in some instances, is more important than yours?

Ooof. I don't think that having to do all the driving all the time is going to be the sole factor guys find offputting, here.

Look, it's pretty clear that you don't want to discuss how you are allowing anxiety to cripple you and damage your ability to lead an independent life...okay, cool. But, bottom line...you have quite a set of limitations, hangups, and conditions that, sorry to say, are likely to induce guys to, well, date someone else with fewer issues. Sorry. Being expected to do all the driving is but the tip of the iceberg, I think.

Yes. I don't think that women are better or more important than men. I just think that we have different life experiences.

And your life experiences, as a woman, are probably not common amongst other women.

The only woman I ever met who had the same limitations you do was my ex's 80 year old old-school Italian grandmother.

Off topic, but I imagine you're getting that checked out. Barring conditions you should have treated, vaginal pain is not normal. Menstrual cramps happen, sure, but that's not "vaginal pain." If you are having consistent vaginal pain, I would hope you're seeking medical counsel.

Exactly...I couldn't say I, as a woman, identify with your inability to drive, your level of crippling anxiety, or the maladies you describe as "being part of being a woman.". I think your experiences are your own, and are not part and parcel of being female.

No. Never. Since I endeavor to have sex be a mutually satisfying experience, I endeavored to learn how to do that.

Maybe, but I think if I were a guy, sex and driving would automatically be fun.

You are not alone in this. We see this on the board all the time. It is baffling to me how many people want to cast an entire gender into one lump of behaviors and desires. How can that be helpful to anyone?

Being expected to do favors all tbe time for someone you're seeing is rarely fun. The whole, "But you have to come get me and take me home" thing gets old pretty quickly.
