What’s the worst and best thing about being female?

Question

Quintessence · Accepted Answer

The worst thing is probably having to go through the pains, discomforts, and risks associated with pregnancy and childbirth. I'd say the top most negative things about being female are rooted in our biology: being the physically weaker sex, having to deal with menstruation and menopause, looks declining faster with age, etc.

The best... I don't know, honestly. There are a lot of things that come to mind that would make me choose to remain my gender if given the option to change.
- Having the luxury of being picky in the dating pool. Men get more ridicule and backlash for their dating standards than women do. Although, women do tend to get the "slut" label thrown at them when they're not being picky.
- Having more freedom of expression. I've caught myself saying things which I would not have gotten away with if I had been a man. Generally speaking, the consequences of breaking a social norm are much lighter for a woman than a man.
- Legally speaking, women get more leeway than men for minor infractions. For example, age of consent, criminal harassment, and public indecency laws are more flexible when the perpetrator is female. In civil cases--e. g., divorce, custody, child support--the law tends to favour women.

I can't answer this I'd be male within a minute if given the choice.

I think you are better equipped to answer.

I grew up with brothers and the youngest so I was raised a fighter. They didn't go easy on me because I was a girl.

In fact, they taught me to punch kidneys, throats and knock the wind out of someone to get away.

I can't say there's a worst thing. I'm so proud of who I am and what I've done though it isn't unique to me.

The worst and best thing is when we don't have to answer these kind of questions anymore

Being told especially on here that once you pass the age of 30 you are passed your use by date. Being teased for not having the right body shape.

Being able to stay home and watch my children grow and walk for the first time.

the best is that u can use all that make up, and nice dresses and shoes and make yourself sexi and beautiful... u can make different hair-styles, etc.. we love being girly.. men just can't do it.. they dont have such a variety of shoes and clothes. lol and being a mum, only women can bear a child and give a new life
The worst is the period each moths.. and that if we meet the wrong guy we can stay alone with a baby.. its a nightmare..

Worst is random men messaging you and asking you innapropriate things, unsolicited dick pics, pedophiles, perverts.  One of the best things is boobs, but it also could be one of the worst.
