Is it normal that i hate being a female?

Ever since I can remember, I always hated being a female. I just hate everything about it. Always being expected to look good, the double standards, the biological features, the centuries of being degraded, the unfair salaries, periods, pregnancy, labor and delivery, the invasive doctor visits, just everything. I feel that it's so hard being a female. And I know that there are some sucky things about being a man but it just seems so much harder being a woman. I hate it. Any uplifting words?

      Why? I once read equal. Though if you can have 9 of them.. Wait, is a 30 minutes long female orgasm really true? I guess you don't need 9 of them if you could do that.

    I completely understand where you're coming from. I hate being a girl as well, primarily because no one expects me to make anything of my life. I grew up in a society that belittles women anyway, I was always taught that men are more priveleged than women, but that it doesn't matter because women can have children and that's all that's important, so I grew up resenting my lot in life. I'll hate being female right along with you.

    It's more difficult for men in other ways. Actually the suckiness of each gender is pretty well balanced. Just a 'grass is greener' complex.

    I mean how the hell can we compare orgasms, I dunno if some of mine were any stronger it'd be dangerous , pop a blood veses,brain sell or somem. Chicks are a lot more expressive/emotional, I've always thought that makes it seem more than guys.But hey on the other hand , if they are stronger they deserve it as female problems compensation .
    But yeah things must be a real pain sometimes , girls have so many issues physically and so much can go wrong , then there's pregnancies one day on top of it. and then even more issues.
    The looks thing , I've always thought that seems like so much fun for girls , they seem to have a ball with it all and they have so much power over us males in that way , I've always thought that's really cool . I love the way a chick can just make me a blubbering mess when no one else can.
    I mean I've always been more than happy being male but I have always thought despite a lot of physical issues it's also be heaps of fun being female and it does also come with many benefits.
    But hey , guys do have heaps of guy issues too , some of the shit you have to deal with just because your male - whole new thread , not that I'm saying we're hard done as compared and the girl physical things well , not much can match that but there is still shit and lots of it , just in a lot of other ways though.

    I don't like that I can't walk anywhere alone at night or in downtown areas, and that hobos and bigger people like to approach me because I am small and easy to physically dominate by someone that is stronger than me (I live in California where it is illegal to carry a concealed weapon). And if, for someone reason, I HAVE to be in that area alone, and I get raped or assaulted, it's like "well derp, you shouldn't have been in that area alone" or "derp, that's what you get for wearing those slutty jeans, that slutty sweater and slutter tennis shoes".

    And the slutty thing. I've been with about 10 men before my husband, always protected sex, and I meet men that have been with 20+ girls that consider me a slut. And I'm considered stupid by other women for marrying so young, but when men do it, oh it's sweet how much he loves her.

    But other than that, I wouldn't want to be a man. I'm a cute little girl and I play the cute little bookworm part well. People don't get confrontational with me or any of that shit, and my lack of social skills doesn't matter cuz I'm so adorable haha.

    • Well, not to intrude, but males actually think it's stupid when men get married young, it's women that think men are being loving when they do that. Just saying. Not to mention, people say it'smuch more likely for a man to be attacked at night than a woman to be attacked, so we have to worry about that, too. The only difference is that we have more strength, which might be why women being attacked is seen as worse, but physical strength doesn't do anything for you if someone has a gun or knife pointed at you, does it?

      For example, I have been attacked once by someone at night, for no reason, then again, but I was able to overpower them. I have been confronted by assholes in the whole asshole way a lot of times, too, and the only time I have seen a man hit a woman is when she hits him first.

        Didn't say men never get attacked at night. I'm just saying, I've walked alone at night and damn near always get followers, cat-callers, etc. So I have taken to dressing in a sweater, sweat pants, and hiding my hear and I still have problems v.v

        I hope you're not trying to incite a debate about how I am dumb for saying that only women get attacked when I didn't. I just said, it's very scary for women to do so. Never said it wasn't scary for men. I'm not whining about domestic violence either. I don't go around hitting men.

        • Yes, but males are still just as likely to be attacked.
          And no, I wasn't trying to start a debate, just mentioning that men have the same problem, if you already knew that, my mistake.

            Yeah, I knew that. Just saying though, walking around at night is a bitch for women. It's a bitch for anyone. But it's also a bitch for women.

              How are men equally likely to get attacked? Women are seen as easier to physically over come and are raped... Most attackers are probably going to go after a girl.

    • EllyBean

      I agree with you. I hate walking around by myself. And that is so true. The man is in the wrong and rapes a woman but of course it's her fault for being alone and coming off as "slutty". Even in middle school I was called a slut because of rumors. But of course when the hot jock on the football team gets some ass, then all of a sudden "everyone else is doing it" and it's sooo cool that the guys can get all the ass they want. But yeah, I agree with you. I love being cute, haha. :)

    Not to mention how women get treated by other women. Women usually don't stick up for other women especially in the work place. If your a woman who is on her way to a promotion, other women will back stab and try to make you look bad to others. It's happened so many times with me. I've had more troubles with women in the workplace than with men. If your in a management role, other women will call you a bitch. I have seen it time and time again. I really do believe that a lot of the reasons that women do not get ahead in life is because of other women. Women treat each other so badly mostly do to jealousy & their relationships fall apart with just one misunderstanding. Men on the other hand, reconcile and are bestfriends. I do hate being a woman mostly because of other woman and I don't apologize for that.

    both men and women have good and bad things to deal with,but sadly men do rule.Like when they put men in everything, huMAN MANmade and most of all,woMAN. Also men are stronger,faster,and they don't have to shave at being and they do not have to worry about being pregnant.

    Yes, we hVe it tough but being a girlnis grrat. Mans life is kinda boring. Us what makes us cool is that we can deal with all of it! We can protect ourselves from getting pregnant or just give t gift of life! I love being a female! And i guess mem DO have it tough! U know how hard it must be for a man to geta girl?

    Yes we women have to go through the monthly cycle, yes we are the ones who go through birth, yes we might need to look after ourselves more than men do, etc...
    But that's just the way humanity is.

    And no being a woman is not that much harder than being a man... Men have issues too, we all do just in different ways, but it's up to the individual to make the best out of his/her life.

    Ahh , don't take him to heart Ellyb both sexes do definitely have their drawbacks and there are double standards all over and coming from both , I take it with a grain of salt b/c it ain't gonna change .
    Personally I do see where your coming from and I've often thought thing's like that and glad I don't have to go through them - most of us guys would be hopeless at being female.
    Gotta agree on the dangly bits, that's one way I do envy girls big time , f'k me they can be a pain . Couldn't imagine being able to move about with nothing in the way or getting squashed , nothing to readjust all day long,or to not have to worry about unexpected pop ups , must be pretty damn good .

    Dunno how girls ended up wearing the skirts , they've got nothing there , guys are the ones that should be in skirts , we need em. Thank God for sarongs !

  • Ah, yes. -Cracks knucles- Now let me tell you the difficulties of being men.
    Men, we are expected to be handsome, couragous, funny, protective, smart, etc. All you have to do is look good and be nice.
    Double standards? The irony. Women get away with so much more than men do even if the man gets punished for doing the same thing. Women get less jail time for the same crime men do, they get away with sexual harrassment, "even when it's been recorded and is undeniable proof they done it", can laugh and mock a man on national television for getting his penis cut off for doing nothing but asking for a divorce, while if a man done it to a woman, he would be fired, and so much more.
    Then there is the part when women say "Men can sleep around, but when women do it, we're sluts" when it's "women" calling other "women" sluts, not the men. So we also get the blame for the things you say to eachother.
    Then when you decide to be with an asshole rather than the nice guy, you say all men are assholes because "you" has chosen to be with the asshole and friendzone the nice guy.
    Centuries of being degraded? You do realize the average man was also degraded once upon a time? That only male "landowners" got to vote? But since you were never degraded as the women were in the past, you have no right to try play it off like you're effected by it in any way, that's disrespectful to the women that went through hell, then you with a better like try to brush it off like you have had any pain like they did.
    The unfair salaries I'm not going in to, it would take about three comment boxes to do. Period pains, so what? Males risk being hit in the private areas far more than women risk period pains. Pregnancy, that's "your" choice, nobody is forcing you to fall pregnant. Labour and delivery, don't fall pregnant. You get thge choice of being a prent or not, while the men don't. Invasive doctor visits? What? So if a doctor checks up on you, it's invasive?

    Incase you haven't notice, males have it just as bad.

      1. The standards for a "good looking woman" are almost impossible to meet. Guys just have to be cute and dress nice.
      2. Men still get away with killing their wives/girlfriends and rapings/harrassments/assults.
      3. I've been called slutty by a guy before. In fact, most women I know don't care for "sluts" or even call other women that for that matter.
      4. No matter what race, social class, time period, women have always been degraded. They've just been expected to have babies and be house wives and get cheated on by their husbands. And it used to be that if a woman was abused by her husband, she was screwed because no one would help her. At least white rich men had it good. Even the colored poor ones had it better. They weren't expected to just sit around and pop out babies until they die.
      5. And yeah, women are still degraded today. So just shut up about me being "disrespectful".
      6. Unfair salaries, hell yeah they're unfair. So just shut up about that one too.
      7. A man gets his in the balls. Has like what, half hour of pain? Women have this pain in the ass called a period for 7 days straight once every month from the time we're teenagers until we're about 40.
      8. Don't fall pregtnant? How are we supposed to have kids then? Idiot.

      I said uplifting words, not make me feel like crap for feeling this way.

      • 1. Eh, no. Males have to look good, physically. They also have to be dominant people (assholes). Saying they don't have to look good for women is just pathetic. It is easily proven wrong by how many "studs" women are in love with nowadays.
        2. Women get away with it even more. There was a case where a woman had a shotgun and shot a man while he was sleeping, he excuse was "he abused me" and then she got away with it. She got away with murder for saying "Ther person I killed was an asshole" to put it short. Rapings? You do realize that 80% of female on male rapes aren't taken seriously, and that a male rapist is 70% more likely to be convicted than a female rapist? Harrassments and assualts? You know that 40% of domestiv violence is due to the female? Nearly half of them, and yet all we hear about is male on female domestic violence.
        Oh, not to mention when those three 8th grader females force stripped a 6th grader boy. The boy was screaming for help, telling them to stop, while they continued to strip him. They successfully striped him. Oh, did I miss out the part where one of the girls were recording it? Yeah. Then when the video gets shown to the police, the conclusion to the whole situation even though there was video evidence of them physically sexually assualting a boy, three females assaulting a boy, was "Just some girls pulling a prank".
        So please, tell me where there has ever been a case when three males have done such a thing to a younger girl, had video evidence of it it happening, and got away with it.
        Sexual assault on women = Bad thing.
        Sexual assault on men = Just a prank.
        This explains why men don't come forward against domestic violence and sexual assault as much as women do, because even if they have evidence, they still have a high chance of not getting the woman responsible punished.
        3. Oh really? Well no boy I have seen has called a woman a slut, and a lot of women I have seen have called women sluts, and I grew up in social groups (friends) that were females.
        4. Wow, what? Are you serious? You are saying women had it harder than black peoples' oppression? Are you kidding me? Yeah, poor women, they had to pop out babies, fuck those black people being lynched and being enslaved, whiped, beaten, etc. Are you kidding me? Educate yourself of history, and stop trying to act like today's women have it as bad as the women in the past, because they don't, "you" don't.
        5. Yeah, they are, but by the minority of people. Men are also degraded today aswell, for the reasons I made in point 2.
        6. Unfair salaries, I said I'm not getting in to, because if I do, then it will take forever for me to finnish all the points I would make for it.
        7. Yes, and while those seven weeks must be painful, people can be kicked in the private parts far more times, in which case, none of us know which one is more painful. When a woman has perioud pains, she isn't on the floor in agony, when a man is kicked in the private area, he is on the floor in agony, sometimes puking. Since males are more better at endurance, that gives reason to believe attacks on the private area is far more painful.
        8. My point was that "you" don't have to fall pregnant, many women understand that them doing such a thing is their part of helping society, and then people like you think "poor me".

    I think I'd hate being a guy just as much as you claim to hate being a girl!

    Men have all this pressure to make it financially, they get so much crap for wanting to do anything in the arts. Getting kicked in the nuts sounds awful, and I can't imagine trying to do anything with all that extra equipment dangling between your legs. And their clothing? Boooooring! There are WAY more things for a woman to wear and do with their clothing to be interesting and unique, or sexy. They can't wear makeup, either, but I suppose that's girly stuff...

    Not nearly as many free drinks at bars, other guys being territorial, people more willing to fight them, constantly needing to assert themselves, dealing with facial hair (ugh!), body hair in general, smelling worse, the list goes on.

    I personally don't think it's so bad to be female.
