Fed-up women 'long to be men'

Fed-up women 'long to be men'

Women are women. But, one in four females who are fed up with the pain of pregnancy and pre-menstrual tension would prefer to be men, a new survey has found.

In the survey, 15 per cent admitted that when they also battle mood swings, they want to be male. A further nine per cent said they think men have it easier physically. And more than half, 55 per cent, admitted they were not at their happiest stage of life.

Some 87 per cent confessed they never felt at ease with the physical changes to their body during puberty. And 12 per cent were also unprepared for pregnancy, the poll of 2,048 women by Seven Seas Femibion health supplement has revealed.

Overall, women still love being women, however. Thirty -six per cent said it's because they can express the emotions. This increased to 40 per cent for over 55s, the survey found.

"Hormone levels are central to women's wellbeing. It's vital to have a balanced diet and nutritional support when your body needs it," medical expert Dr Rosemary Leonard was quoted by the 'Daily Express' as saying.
