whats the hardest part about being a chick

:toetap05:
OTHER than child birth and periods of course those suck....im convinced girls have it prettty damn easy, but women like to complain about being women...so whats all da fuss about?

 

I dont understand guys that say this, I'd hate to be a chick


Be a whole lot scarier, and they like stress about everything

And then theres the minus 1/2 extra sleep to get up do all that makeup crap

 

fuck if i know

 

being stressed and holding your emotions back

we may "have it easier" but its not our fault that boys are aimed to think that the man has to work and make money and do all that shit

women are making a comeback, if not have already on that part.

your asking our opinions on it, adding in "pretty damn easy" is starting an argument

 

oh no arguement

 

oh god this thread will piss me off...


I don't think there's anything innately hard about being a chick. We're all different, we all have different issues, challenges, goals, qualities, traits, etc... Some of us struggle with things that others don't. We're just people.

If a chick thinks there's something hard about being a woman personally, that's fine, but it doesn't mean it has to be that way. I don't bitch about shit like this and I find it annoying.

 

Like similar things don't happen to men?
A nice man is a pussy.
That's the hardest part of being a man, women that say men are short-sighted by saying women make it easy.

I'm on your side that the generalizations need to stop, but I think it's ridiculous that you're making them yourself.
Aggressive men can be seen as assholes, and aggressive men can be seen as great women - it's the ones who put off bitchy demeanors while being aggressive that are considered bitches.

 

That almost every society on earth is patriarchal and built on the repression of women and keeping them controlled. And how even in this day and age where we're so much freer, beauty has taken over as a ruler so that sure, we can work and have sex and do almost anything we want but our constantly-attacked self-esteem is so low that very few of us will actually attempt to be successful.

 

yeah

some people LIKE to bitch...thats who im asking.

 

lol nice

 

wouldnt it be shaving the backside of the knee?

 

^
Put downs aren't patriarchal, I hear "dude, don't be a fucking dick" far more then I hear "dude, don't be a pussy"

 

lol yes hahaha

 

dealing with men....

but even worse, dealing with other women

 

My problems are all mine. They are not necessarily things every woman has issues with. I'm going to express these only to vent them for myself. They are personal issues that I haven't done well resolving.

For me, it's not being a submissive sort of character. I tend to be extremely independent. It causes me to only attract men that want a mommy. I hate that.
Also, the trimmings. I wear makeup due to having less than perfect skin. I think the makeup is a turnoff for some men, others like it... But, what I find is that without it ppl are tempted to comment on(or stare at)some scarring I have. It makes me really nervous, so I feel compelled to try to cover it up. Then, that creates the situation where I feel I have to reveal myself if I want a relationship with a guy...
In my experience, they want me to look like a tv/porn star all the time... But, they get nasty about the time it takes me to look like that. I think I've been picking up the wrong sort of men, ones that prize public physical appearance over personality. It's been an issue for me for a very long time. One I've tried to, but not successfully overcome to this day.
I feel that many in this country are obsessed with looks. Too much advertising and television I guess.
I'm tired of the men I begin to get serious about always looking for something else while they're with me. I mean, I get that guys will always look at other women... But, do they have to give themselves whiplash in front of me? I don't care if they check other women out... But, I prefer they not do it when I'm on their arm. It's disrespectful. It makes me constantly compare myself to other women. It hurts, & I spend too much time wondering why he's with me when I'm apparently not what he wants.
I went through this in a marraige, & two live in relationships.

But yeah.... Being a woman sucks. I hate fashion, & I hate the makeup I feel somewhat forced to wear to avoid constant scrutiny of my flaws.

I only make friends with women sparsely, as I have no patience for catty bullshit and gossip. Makes me somewhat lonely.

On the bright side of all this... I don't get moody at having a period, it's no big deal... I hate shopping, so I really don't do it much... I dress like a tomboy, & feel comfortable that way... It suits me.
I've taken liberties that a man would in the dept of sex, & have had wonderful meaningless sex when I wanted it. :cheers2:
I will continue to do things like drink dark beer, shoot pool, & speak my mind. I will go skydiving again when money and time permit it. I'll continue to read horror fiction books and decorate my place with skulls. I will live alone as long as I can do that financially.
So, things certainly aren't all bad. I'm lucky to live in the US as far as being a woman goes. There are a few countries that are better for it, but many more that are much worse.

Oh yeah, call me a bitch. It's a moniker I wear with pride. (under the right circumstances, it's a turn on)
That's right honey.

 

Thats so true, I realized how women are attacked for their self-esteem when I was with my girlfriend and this guy who was really hot came in the elevator and I felt threatened, like she would not like me as much. considering all the images of these women in the media that are HOT as fuck, women logically would feel threatened all the time by the way they look, because these media images prey on our instincts as sexual beings.

 

:iagree:Could not have said it any better.

 

that's why i'm essentially un-doing 20 years of work that the media did on my brain...

film, tv, radio, magazines, internet*, etc.. fuck that shit. all that does is make us hate people, hate ourselves, want more, buy more, feel like shit, distract us from REALITY and this earth. i don't see a point to it all.



i use the internet for things like email, independent news, access to research material, and forums so don't bother calling me a hypocrite.
