I really wouldn't want to be a woman. I see a lot of down sides on the pragmatic level, such as monthly biology, pregnancy, social pressures of dress and body image (not that we don't face that, but not as intensely IMHO).

Fusion, by the way, is awesome, even though I only shave a narrow area under my chin at the neck line, well worth the price.
