Week 4 Question

Hi!

Although not everyone has responded to last week's question, the responses I have read so far were both interesting and insightful. Keep up the good work!

This week's question is one of the more unique questions that has been posted to a W&G 5 blog. Read it carefully and think about your response for a while before starting to write. Here it is:

If you were born human again, which sex (male or female) would you like to be? Why?

I look forward to reading your responses!

Happy writing!

Josh
