When Japanese girls wish they were boys

goo Ranking recently published the results of a pair of ranking surveys into when girls wish they could be reborn as boys, and when boys wish they could be rebord as girls.

Demographics

Over the 7th and 8th of December 2012 1,059 members of the goo Research monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 61.4% of the sample were female, 10.8% in their teens, 14.4% in their twenties, 24.9% in their thirties, 28.8% in their forties, 11.5% in their fifties, and 9.6% aged sixty or older. Note that the score in the results refers to the relative number of votes for each option, not a percentage of the total sample.

Here?s a guy enjoying number 2, both 6s, and perhaps even the first 9.
