Here is a list by an unknown author. What do you all think.
1) I am so sick of my period! One-third of every month is negatively affected by my period. I am either sick from cramps, bloated beyond belief, on it, finishing it, too emotional, not emotional at all, or just simply not myself. The right months are worse than the left ones. Ortho, Depo and the others do nothing to help.
2) I hate make-up. I went to work today without make-up (I feel like crap already) and the first thing I hear when I sit down is a co-worker saying “I see you woke up late this morning, you should put your face on before anyone else sees you like that”… WTF, this is my face… it is a cute face… I like it just the way it is. Why do I have to put on a show for everyone around me, hell some of the guys here don’t even shave before coming to work… they wear the same tired clothes every week… so why do I need to bother?
3) I have to be a slave to fashion. Same as the make-up situation, god forbid if I wear my most comfortable pants to work, or an out of style outfit that I personally like. Why do I have to spend a couple thousand dollars a year on clothes and accessories, why do all of my friends want to shop all of the time. This is a sickness, and I am sick of it. I wish I could dress like a guy, in the same suit I bought in 1999 and the same tie that I have worn every week for the past three years. That would be nice!
4) My bra has never fit me right! Why can’t I find a bra that fits me perfectly? One that is slightly adjustable to compensate for my ever changing body? With the right cup just slightly larger than the left cup, one that provides just the right amount of support. Is this too much to ask, retailers have put significant effort into the feminine hygiene realm, perhaps they could divert some of their R&D monies away from moisture lock technologies and into making the perfect bra. If only I was a little smaller, then I could go without.
5) I hate the following terms: Pussy, Slit, Cooche, Cunt, Snatch, Cooter, Beaver, Hole, Muff, Twat, and Clam… I also hate Titties, Boobies, Funbags, Melons and any other idiotic name people come up with for my body parts. I have a vagina and breasts or tits. Easy as that. Can you say Vagina? I hope so.
6) Double standards: Men get away with murder in the business world. Women are held to a much higher degree of scrutiny and to a much higher standard than men. When men talk they are networking, when women talk we are gossiping… when men make mistakes they are risk takers, when women make mistakes we are incompetent, when men argue they are debating, when women argue we are being catty. You get the idea. I am just as smart, if not smarter than most of my coworkers, but I will always get stuck behind a guy with ‘ambition and drive’, especially when I spend a good portion of my month focusing on my insides (see #1).
7) Sex is different for women. Men take great pride in bedding women, as many and as often as possible. If a women expresses her sexuality she is a whore, tramp or slut. Rightly so sometimes… there is no female equivalent to the blow job, a blow job is a power trip for the guy… I am on my knees in front of him or with my head around his waist in some fashion, pleasuring him until he finishes, then it is up to me to clean up while he basks in the satisfaction. If he goes down on me, it is a different experience, there is no power exchange, he is still in a powerful position (legs apart is always vulnerable) and he is still happy to see my vagina. The picture alone is worth ten minutes of licking on his part. Don’t even get me started on penetration…
My yearly gyno appointment. enough said, I wish I could just turn my head and cough, just once!
9) The bathroom! Ok, I am not going to talk about the cleanliness of bathrooms and the hygiene habits of women, that has been covered ad nauseum on this board. I am going to say that I wish I could be a little neater when I pee, I can’t stand that first dribble that tends to go somewhere other than in the bowl if I am not sitting. The squat pee (which I have to do given the state of the restrooms in some places) is never neat for me. No need for graphic details here.
10) My mother and all other women who feel that I am breaking the social contract by not having children. I have enough issues with my girly parts already, I can’t imagine what having a child would do to me. I also don’t feel like bringing new babies into the current world, so don’t tell me that I should. Don’t say that I should ’start looking for a husband’ because I am getting older… why don’t you tell the guys, ‘better get serious about a family, your time is ticking’.

Darling, you hit the nail on the head with this one! I can’t say I disagree with any of them.
Cherie xxx
One of the best lists I have read. I submitted it to reddit.. dugg it and stumbled. I will now subscribe. Well done!
You say you don’t like the ‘idiotic names’ given to particular body parts but then proceed to call breasts ‘tits’.
Excellent job.
Sigh.
Actually upon further reading, I’m wondering if this is actually a joke??
It says, ‘If a women expresses her sexuality she is a whore, tramp or slut. Rightly so sometimes.’
This is another contradiction. I find this hard to believe that it was even written by a woman, and if it was, it was not a particularly insightful or wise one.
Stop crying. Everyone has problems… even guys(gasp). Although men’s problems are different all together, they still shouldn’t be belittled. In the end, we all have to put up with inconveniences caused gender, race, and other issues. The fact of the matter is that each perspective comes with its own burdens.
However, complaining doesn’t help anything…. Frankly, you have no authority to assume that you’re worse off as a woman than you’d be as a male.
1. Fair enough
2. Fair enough
3. I agree, but men are also expected to dress well, even if they can’t make good decisions on the subject. Men know what looks better on women and women know what looks better on men.
4. Fair enough
5. You shouldn’t. Words are words. There are synonyms for both the vagina and penis. the “problem” in my opinion, is that, with sex, the woman gets penetrated. That creates for a greater emotional bond. (I think)
6. Alas. In any case, You don’t have to play the game by its rules, but by doing so, you must keep in mind that you’re risk getting kicked out of the game.
7. I don’t feel that a blow job is empowering for men and degrading for women. It’s sex. Sex is most enjoyable without rules and thoughts.
8. Zing.
9. Men have to shit in public toilets, too, you know.
10. I’m a man, and my family would like to see me get married, with children, too. But I’ve told them that I don’t want to get married, or have children. They don’t like the idea, but they respect it. It’s the same with my sister.
What a cow.
I absolutely love this, and agree with most all of it…Number 5 most of all. I’m a child of the 60’s and cuss like a sailor…but I have never used those terms and hate, hate HATE to hear other people use them…even women.
Hang in there with the period thing though. That will be replaced soon enough by hot flashes that wake you up all night and keep you from ever knowing what the actual temperature is.
Great, great post! Note to “David”…I can assure you it was written by a woman…
smiling there are so many valid reasons on here,, but as a woman,, there are a million more why its great to be a woman ,,, and as with all things,, take the up with the downs,,
>^..^<
Hmm, even we mens do have problem. Its mensus for you ladies but we do have in our gender MENS.
We too get iritated when girls call us by longdick,mr.tool and many more, even we have name PENIS.
we too have to wait long for that days for you to get fresh from that 5 days.
Its early morning stiffness, that we have to hold down for normalcy, or wet the walls and chest, isnt funny to hear.
No brief lasts for more than 2 months keep changing size, due to that bulge that keeps coming every now and then.
Atleast you can hide your desire, uh! we men, you call us mannerless, a beast.
Make up not like you, even some girls like slight beard and some like clean shaved, we have wonder in between, even keep changing hair style.
Any thing else
Now you too should feel sorry for these common points we both share
raj014@yahoo.com
I fine some of it to be true but its a lot of good things about being a woman like the love we share the compassion we feel for others as mothers ,grandmothers and sister.So i must say i enjoy being a woman.
wonderfull points to note.Thanks
The author make some valid points, though it’s unfortunately shadowed by a bitter delivery. The execution could’ve been better without the attack (even as a woman, I felt attacked reading the top 10) so that people would listen to the message instead of paying attention to the angry delivery. The complaints are also slanted and don’t take all factors into consideration. So to the unknown author, I say…
1) I’m on a 3 week cycle with my period. Have been all my life. Used to have debilitating cramps. I’ll spare you the details of my unusually heavy flow. Periods can suck but it’s not the end of the world. Be thankful only 1/3 of your month is taken by your period. And stop using it as an excuse when you can’t function properly. The moodiness, cramps, bloating, inconvience is a legit complaint but shouldn’t be used as an excuse not to have to do stuff. That’s a perfect example as to why double standards are allowed.
2) Stop worrying what others think. Not everyone is so ignorant and why would you care about the opinions of those who are? A tactifully placed reply would shut up the “boob” (love that word) and get the message across without an angry confrontation.
3) Business men own more than one suit and tie. You don’t have to be a slave to anything. There’s plenty of classic items that remain fashionable or heck, throw caution to the wind and whip out your ’80s parachute pants and spike your bangs and tell the world, that, like, if they don’t like it, that, like, totally barfs you out, ya know?
4) Boobs–YES! I said it!–do not inflate and deflate radically month by month even if your weight’s bouncing up and down. Unless you’ve had a mascectomy, there is not a large enough different in right and left boob sizes to get uptight over. However, since your saggage is really bothering you, go to any department or lingerie store. They’ll fit you for the right bra.
5) What did the ghost say to the bumble bee? Boo bee! ROFLMA! My favorite second grade joke of all time. It wouldn’t be the English language if there weren’t 50 different ways to get across the same meaning. Granted, some of those words are nasty but it’s not fair to complain about slang and then say tits is acceptable. You don’t get to decide for all of America what is and isn’t acceptable. Some would say that’d make you a dick, a wanker, a real tool…if you get my meaning.
6) Women can be catty and more emotional than men. Men can be more arrogant and egotistical. It’s partly genetics, partly societal. I’m still smarter than most people I know, men and women. While there’s plenty of truth about double standards, refer back to #1. And remember the warning about self-fulfilling prophesy. If you don’t believe you’ll ever succeed, you won’t.
7) My friend once said there are no such thing as sluts, only women who enjoy sex. I’m open-minded and agree but then said, “True…unless you can’t stand the bitch. Then she’s a slut.” (See? Catty.) Sorry you don’t seem to enjoy sex, though. It’s empowering for both sexes. And a man on his knees at my service is not only a turn-on but powerful for me. As for penetration, the prostate is most easily stimulated through the man’s anus. Try it some time. Hee hee.
9) No arguing men have women on speed in this area, but not accuracy. I’ve got a husband and three sons and if any of them knows how to hit ONLY the bowl, I’d never guess it. And have you ever seen a man try to pee with a morning boner? Not funny for him, but I couldn’t help laugh at hubby as he tried to get the job done.
10) If you don’t want kids, don’t have them! No one can force you and a penis isn’t going to be walking along and suddenly slip in and whoops! you’re pregnant. Besides, being a mother is about acceptance in who you are and in your children. It’s about love and being a postive force even among adversity. Ten reasons it sucks to be a woman isn’t adversity. Leave parenting to the pros.
On second thought, I’m left wondering if the 10 reasons isn’t written by a disgruntled or chauvenistic man in order to stir up propaganda and undermine women by feeding into to the belief that women are whiny, bitchy, stupid, petty creatures who are less than then men. The complaints are too petty and slanted, touching on part of an argument while leaving the rest out. If this really is written by a woman, thanks for unnecessarily giving men more ammo. Way to go.
huum problems are every where,not only boobie girls but that doesn’t make you bursh .Men have the answer all.
you may not like beng a woman, but you do like , what men leave & give you a house , money , and thee love . yes i agree its . rough at times . but would you realy want to change . things that much ? in case you forgot lddies . it was a woman named EVE . that ate from the tree of life . not ADOM. and this is why we all suffer the rath of god .

Thanks Joe and Robert for reminding us of the ignorance of some men. Do you really think in this day and age a woman needs a man for financial support? And not everyone believes in the Old Testament but leave it to a man to blame all his woes on a woman.
i like getting my period
