Most of the time, we don't think about being women. We are just ourselves.
I think that's the big problem with for a lot of mainstream creators, they just can't the idea that gender or race or sexual orientation isn't front and centre in the minds of people who fall outside of their own white male default setting. Thus we end up with "edgy" jokes about race or endless movies with women "owning their sexuality" by dressing in fetish wear and manipulating men. Funny, the women I've known who were the most comfortable with sex didn't give a shit about how they looked and were incredibly straightforward about their expectations.
