whats the hardest part about being a chick

Working twice as hard to be half as appreciated by my male counterparts, being constantly second guessed, having things explained to me like I'm five, having to conform to someone else's beauty standards to be considered attractive, being sexually assaulted, having men feel entitled to me as an object, no period-related sick days, thermostats constantly set to a man's comfort level, being expected to have the sex skills of a porn star but also expected to have the history of a nun, constantly trying not to be murdered...there's a lot and none of it is inherent in being a woman. It's coming from society, which is the most frustrating part. Being a woman doesn't make your life harder; being surrounded by people who love to make life harder for women does.

From my part, I guess I would have to say being used and then being tossed away like I'm nothing. I make a lot of effort on my end, but I don't see any effort come on their end. It really depresses me because I haven't had a boyfriend or dated anyone in a very long time. Hopefully this changes sometime soon.

 

I’m so sorry:-(! Hope things change very soon! Thank you for your openness! ;-)

 

This is a whole mood.

I see you. You're not alone in this.

 

I don’t believe women have it easy. The worst thing about being a ‘chick’ is probably men.
Especially men who think women have it easy, and call them ‘chick’.. smh..

 

whats the hardest part about being a chick?

I'm guessing it's dealing with dicks!

 

Among many other reasons:

Men go to work, then come home, drink beer, enjoy dinner, and watch football. Women go to work, then come home, take care of the children and the housework, prepare dinner, and get everything ready for the next day.

Men shave, put on pants and a shirt, wear flat shoes, and go to work. Women have to wear makeup and hair, they are expected to have long, polished nails, wear bras to contain their boobs, as well as dresses, and they are often expected to wear pantyhose and heels.

Men impregnate women and nothing more. Women have to carry the unborn child for nine months, give birth, and then raise and feed it for many years afterwards.

Men don't have a menstrual cycle. Women have to endure their periods for five to seven days a month.

Women must cope with the "glass ceiling", lesser pay for equal work, fewer employment opportunities. Undoubtedly my greatest rant as a woman.

The only thing women have easier than men is that they don't constantly have all the excess baggage hanging from their crotches.

Understood?

 

Besides periods and dysmenorrhea, childbirth (and fear of conception) in the country with the highest maternal death rate in the industrialized world, lack of access (and criminalization) of abortion and contraception, endometriosis, ectopic pregnancies, and miscarriages, a 75% greater chance of being a single parent than men, to be paid 83 cents on the dollar compared to men, a 35% greater chance of living in poverty; misogyny, chauvinism, and glass ceilings, to grow up with a 90% chance of being sexually harassed as a child by adult men, to have 50% less upper body strength/40% less lower body strength than men; a one in four chance of being physically attacked by an intimate partner, a one in five chance of being raped (both likely gross underestimates), and to be 5 times more likely to be murdered by their partners than males...yeah; besides all that, "girls have it prettty damn easy".

What astoundingly simple-minded misogynistic bullshit!

 

I know guys can suffer from depression too - but being a woman and how we can feel about ourselves in the world on a daily basis, is so difficult.
