my first thought was "experience birth"
but that would require: what can women do...?
and they can't do it all their lives, so that's a bust.

How about grow up? Males only do it once - when they get married.

This is probably irrelevant, since ancient Indians probably didn't know this, but for a short period during development, all foeti are female - so in this case, the answer could be " be female"

Well, it's probably safe to assume that the 'ancient indians' (and *that* qualifier may have problems too!) didn't speak english. Assuming, of course, that the premise of the thread is actually true...
