Is being female as miserable as it seems?

[Anonymous]

Between periods, pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, menopause, extremely high social standards, hormonal fluctuations, and certain disadvantages to guys it seems terrible and makes me feel lucky to be male

No, it's not that bad

No, I actually like being a girl

Yes, but I'm content

YES guys have it so much better

Besides all those "downsides" of being a woman, you have forgotten one of the most important ones.

It would definitely be to be sexualized and objectified by men and to be considered as a 2nd. class human being, coming just after dogs and other pets.

Women have been discriminated since the dawn of mankind and have been prevented until the late 19th. Century from getting a higher education. There are plenty of examples on that topic. Even in the US, which is supposed to be a relatively civilized country, women are still being sexualized.

So yes, being a female is indeed something to be miserable about but not for those reasons that you mention.

[Asker]

I don't deny that's bad but why do you put downsides in quotations. Even if we solved sexualization a woman would still have to deal with all of those.

being female isn’t just a list of struggles... yss sure, periods, pregnancy, nd hormones r tough, nd society can be unfair at times, but there’s also so much strength, resilience, nd beauty in it... women literally create life, adapt like pros, and push through challenges every single day. nd every gender has its own struggles, but trust me, being a woman is far from miserable... it's powerful in its own way! 😊💪"

[Asker]

Would you say you enjoy being a woman then?

[unknowngurll1212]

Yhh, I do! It’s not always easy, but there’s a lot of strength and beauty in it... wouldn’t have it any other way..

[Asker]

Why do you think so many women don't like being women then?

[unknowngurll1212]

Hmm, i think a lot of it comes from the struggles women face just like.. societal pressures, expectations, nd just the challnges that come with it. but at the same time, those struggles also make women incredibly strong... some might feel frustrated, nd that’s valid, but i think there’s also so much power nd beauty in being a woman... It’s all about perspective ofcz/..

Unsure how to answer this. I mean, I know I've looked at a few things I've noticed men have to deal with and be glad I don't have to. But I know there's still challenges as a woman & having a female sex in general.

[Asker]

What things do men have to deal with that you're referring to?

[PBandJ_Nerd]

It's usually like, more of social stuff. Might get made fun of for wearing bright colors, people telling you doing or not doing x doesn't make you much of a man, making fun of you if you don't have sex, other men misinterpreting your social behaviors (for example: thinking a body language is a "let's fight,"), if you complain people will complain about you complaining, etc. I think this makes more sense now. Being a man seems nice for the positives & fun, but when it comes to all the negatives it's like "Maybe not." While this isn't relevant, my mom actually was hoping I was a boy when she was pregnant with me.

Keep on dreaming, but thanks for the laughs anyway. I guess you have to say this, bollocks, to feel better about your failing manhood (if any manhood even exists in you).

[MemeSupreme]

i wouldn't say guys are luckier than us, but there are A LOT of cons to being a woman

that's just life tho lol

[VIVANT]

Well the alternative is having a penis so I’m good. thanks 👋🏻

[Asker]

Why is that so bad?

[VIVANT]

I’m joking 🙃

I think my point is we all are tho we are dnd most of us would prefer to be ourselves bc it’s friar she whatever struggles come with that we have also the possibility to create something meaningful. If everyone jumped ship bc things are difficult, we would be no where.

Women can remain women and men can remain men and become exactly who they could have been.

Most of the issues you pointed to are cultural prejudice and discrimination— which is the thing that needs fixing.. Not the physiology 😊

Periods hurt pregnancy presents many I obstacles & challenges birth is so painful you potently forget the incident to ensure women keep doing it…

but did you know women’s skin surface is 70% mire sensitive than that of men. … which means the possibility of physical pleasure and psychological Pleasure is greatly increased just by touch. And many people love the fact they can create life.

I think it’s a fair trade.

What makes all of that much harder than need be is the cultural dehumanization.

[Asker]

How much of the dehumanization that women face is a result of their physiology?

[FauxGirlNikki]

Id choose being female ANY day over being a male. the are just so INCREDIBLY beautiful! PLUS i LOVE the fashion available to them!!!

[Brokenheartedx]

We don't know any different though to us it's normal

[Becky93]

Bloating and cramping not fun. But other then that it fun. Though time can get scary walking alone at night. Theirs guys who don’t take no for an answer. Not all from men sometimes from women to.

[Asker]

Why is it fun?

[Becky93]

Using my assist as tool to get my way.

[Eempriyanka]

Women can't give birth or get pregnant.. women enjoy sex and living life upto heart's content!

[Asker]

What do you mean? They're the only ones who can go through pregnancy and childbirth

[Paige90]

@Eempriyanka What do you mean that women CAN"T give birth or get pregnant?

[IslaTheWitch]

I'm definitely happy as a woman :D

[Ariascaravens]

It has it's drawbacks but overall I like being a woman.

[Paige90]

The only part I don't like is my period.

[Asker]

You don't have a problem with pregnancy or childbirth?

[Paige90]

I haven't been through either one but it's a different kind of pain. That's why girls have 2-3 babies.

[Elliegirl]

Nope. I love being a girl!

[Anonymous]

I'm not miserable at all.

[Asker]

It seems like there's a lot you have to put up with and it doesn't seem like a good time at all

[chocolatetwopointo]

id kill to be born a man

[Madgedays]

No it's good

[Asker]

Why is it good?

[Madgedays]

I like my life
