So is that real? My mother told me about Orthodox Jewish men thanking
God every day for not making them women, but I was never sure it
wasn't
some liberal Jewish stereotype of O Jews.

Yes. Men are expressing gratitude that God gave them more mitzvos to
fulfill
than He gave women.

and for not having to deal with periods.

Grammar? Oh, not that period!

Nevermind.

That's one of the justifications for the bracha by the way: women don't
need so many timebound mitzvot because by nature they are more conscious
of time.

...and put them in charge.

in what universe? Have you ever been married *and* in charge at the
same time?
