Sigmund Freud famously asked the question, but he didn't have an answer.

and, if Dr. Freud didn't know, how the hell are the rest of we males going to figure it out?

I invite any women out there to provide the answer to man's most frustrating question.

To have our cake and eat it.  Except that eating cake makes you fat but it's none of your business what shape I am because that would be sexist and discriminatory if you are a man or judgemental and bitchy if you are a woman but whatever shape I am, I am not satisfied with it. And my beautiful (not that it's any of your business to judge and I certainly don't care) natural hair/skin color and/or texture  is wrong but I can't get it right because cosmetics are invented by men who just don't  understand. In fact everything is wrong because men made it so. Men start wars, which is wrong, but I demand the right to be a politician and start wars,  or maybe a frontline soldier in a just war started by women. And equal career opportunities and as much maternity leave as I want. And free childcare provided by women (because men can't be trusted with children) except that would reinforce gender stereotypes and define the career opportunities of many women to be childcarers instead of politicians or soldiers.

What do women want? Everything.

angry much?

added: sorry to have missed the sarcasm thing...I am embarrassed...something only a woman should be allowed to do.

(but it really did sound authentic...congrats!)

Democrat women members of the Congress of the USA have increased, while the percentage of Republican women women in the Congress has declined.

it appears this is women want. you go girls!

(and gawd help us all).

after the US mid term election, I did a totally unscientific pol of women and men; asking if the election was indicative of women's desires as Dr. Freud questioned.

i sought out what i thought would be unbiased locals, such as local drinking establishments, gentleman's clubs, and pool halls; and found a religious thread in the responses.

women were mostly inclined to respond (in the vernacular) that i might "go forth and multiply myself".

men tended to be more vocal (altho still referencing biblical admonitions) women should "go forth and multiply themselves".

(I am still compiling the results)

A simple way to find the answer might be to start identifying as a woman - whatever you want then will doubtless be what women want. I've just given this a go, and my conclusion is that women want to be men.

[Then again though, maybe I'm a lesbian. You're supposed to be able to tell by looking at the relative lengths of your fingers - my ring finger's about 1mm longer than my index finger (if you measured from the tip of the finger in between them), so I think I just qualify as a lesbian on that basis.]

Women want not to be women !

Biologicaly women want a nice big alpha make to provide protect and procreate with. Interlectually speaking women want to be treated the same as that same said alpha male, to have total domination, if only i could be treated like the said alpha male id be happy too, I suppose that makes me a man that wants to be treated like a woman who wants to be treated like a man. It might seem sexist, but just type "women getting broody" into your search bar, thats nature for you!

People on the basis of what Chivers defines as "specific category" responded genitally. Males who described themselves as straight swelled, gazing at heterosexual or bisexual sex, watching women masturbate and exercise. Most of them were unmoved when only people appeared on the television. In the opposite categorical trend, homosexual people were stirred. Some assumptions that animal sex spoke about something sexual inside people appeared to be wrong; the bonobos were not straight or homosexual. The individual scores of the male participants were consistent with the readings of the plethysmograph. The brains of people and genitals decided.

The brains of people and genitals

Are you asserting that these are different things?
