I wish I had a penis

Men have access to different opportunities than women do. Men still get paid better, treated with more respect and usually are not hired solely because their breast size is impressive. I cannot think of a single memory that highlights my desire to be manly, but I can tell you that my therapist has mentioned "penis envy" in a session or two. I'm THAT girl. The one who walks around wishing she had a bit more to offer in the dick and balls department.
Often I am not taken as seriously as my male peers. It took twice as long for me to get full trust and respect at the biodiesel lab in comparison to my male coworkers. They were sporting keys, confidence and attention from the bosses long before I did.
