The Worst Part About Being a Girl/Boy

Periods, Shaving, being "nice" "nature's and 'Pretty's

Now, people, no more girl jokes, period.
^ that

The idea of playing hard to get / being too easy; it's more of a "feminine" thing to do and somehow we're expected to be in the middle for some people.
I don't play games, I just cannot fathom why this is still a thing.

The expectation that all girls must wear tight pants and low-cut shirts, look cute, have cute hair, like boy-bands, and be generally feminine. I find button-downs and slacks far more professional, I like exclusively electronica music, and I'd consider myself one of the least feminine people I know.

Being able to do all this kind of housework bullshit. I being even repulsed by it as a kid - asking my Nana why I had to do the dishes when someone else in my family could have, and she had responded that it was because I was a girl, and I just walked away. pfft.

That if I argue for women's rights, I'm called a crazy feminist or something along those lines.

If I put out, I'm a slut, but if I don't, I'm a prude.

Girls get paid less than guys do. This is just so annoying on so many levels, especially if I know I'm doing a better job than guys. UGH.

Something that really grinds my gears though is if that I drink beer with family or I'm at the club or whatever people look at me weirdly because beer is a 'man's drink'. I'm sorry, I didn't see the sign that said 'MEN ONLY'.
This really peeves me off I'm sorry.

What I hate about being a girl is the fact that most boys refrain from making dirty jokes near me "because I'm a girl" and I've got female genitals, which are necessary for sex, excuse me I am capable of hearing dirty jokes.

Periods. Bras. Double standards. FAKE POCKETS

Basically. My friend group is 90% guys, and I can tell that they hold back. Gosh I've made some pretty bad jokes myself, don't mind me.

Inequality in the work force in all aspects.

Having expectations put upon me to marry / have children.

Expectations to be "feminine".
E.g. Not shopping in the men's section of stores, removing body hair, maintaining a ladylike vocabulary.

The fact that my school shirt is transparent.

Totally agree with the joke thing, it pisses me off especially when my family and friend circle mainly all guys.

of course, the typical period and bra. I love my boobs but despise wearing a bra. Also, I'm getting tired of being paid less money than some of the guys that do quite literally nothing at work. that crap pisses me off!

Having to go pick up my birth control. Bleh. Since I take it continuously, I'm required to go pick it up rather than having it mailed. Very annoying, especially when you don't have a car. I'm so enjoying not having a period anymore, that I'm unwilling to switch to condoms even though I'm not having sex really, hardly ever.

Being stared at if you wear shorts or a skirt or you show your legs, particularly in summer. If I've gotten my legs waxed and it's hot, I ain't wearing pants. Actually, I don't even mind the staring that much. It's the comments that annoy me. Do you think I'm going to jump into your arms now that you've told me my legs look good?

Hi im a man sadly

My "junk" gets in the way all the time and seems to have a mind of its own it will randomly extend for no apparent reason and not to mention the hair every were im lucky i don't have facial hair other wise i would have to shave with pimples what a mess that would be.

I have a question im verry feminine and even physically petite i wish i could do all the things that girls do i would even enjoy going through puberty again just to be truly female but im a Christian and will NEVER give that up. I will NEVER be gay either. All i want is advise from girls specificaly as to what i should do

I realise you asked for advice from girls, but I'll say this: however you wish to identify yourself when it comes to gender is 100% up to you and no one should be able to take that away from you, regardless of your religion or anything else. Only you know and get to express your true gender identity.

All the hair removal on unwanted places.

The worst part for me about being a girl are the periods. No joke. I won't go into too much detail as to why, but I'm sure just about every girl on here already knows those reasons. That and shaving as well. I have a hard time with this due to poor motor coordination, especially when shaving my legs too. Plus, my left hand is weaker than my right hand. ><

Periods without birth control are the worst b/c they're so painful.

Having to man up and be a man and not being able to have feelings.

I also hate doing the hair thing, but look on the bright side, women rule!

Worst part about being a girl:

I hate that my gender makes me feel too scared to freely walk about outside alone whenever I want. There are many times when I just want to take a stroll at midnight or late evening to gather my thoughts/release stress but I know it wouldn't be safe. On the other hand, I think I am lucky in that I think I could get away with dressing in guys' attire (kicks, beanie, hoodie, baggy shirt, sweatpants) and wearing no make-up at all, and look neutral enough to be considered either boy or girl.
Definitely did not steal some of my bro's attire and experiment with this before...nope.

I'm very much an individual, but society's general view of my gender unfortunately makes me feel restricted/like a bit of a black sheep. Why is it that we have to be bound by love and marriage? Why is it strange or wrong to go solo?

Of course, that time of the month is something which sucks too..always wishing there was an option for it...you know, if we ever actually wanted to conceive.

I dislike the common concept of women having to be "sexy", I hate that gender is almost always the first question asked when chatting with a random other online! Does it really matter - can't we just keep it to being humans, nothing more nothing less, and have a half-decent conversation rather than being railroaded into "do you have a boyfriend?" "are you a virgin?"
I want to find people who appreciate mind more than body, but it seems incredibly rare to do so in these online chat rooms.

To me, the body is only what we are, whereas the mind is powerful and far more intriguing - it's who we are.

Worst part about being a boy:

Of course, I can only guess. From what I've been told/witnessed from family and friends, it seems to me that one downside to being a boy for sure is the peer pressure/reputation upkeep during school days. In society's general view, they cannot be viewed as "weak", and I don't think that's fair. We are all only human after all.

But most of all, I feel that the old traditional view of men working and women breeding/staying at home still has a light linger in today's atmosphere. I don't think it's right. I've seen men stay at home to look after the children whilst the woman works, and it worked out just fine. I've seen the strain and wear and tear so many years of hard work in banks has done to my father, and I feel guilty as his child because I was partially the reason behind it. I want him to retire or find a more relaxed job now; we all do, he deserves it!

I appreciate my parents so much for my upbringing because I think I learned from them that it's okay not to be considered the norm - mum is a strong-willed woman who is great with numbers (she worked in banks also) and sussing things out (honestly, she should be a detective), and she's also good with her hands; loves DIY. Dad...dad and I mutually agreed that we're so alike in personality and way of mind. We worry too much for one thing, we consider and think too much, and we have the same taste in music and movies (besides K-pop and anime/manga, although he has complimented K-pop and a manga's artwork before).

Periods.

Oh, and the fact that I can't pee behind a tree at my convenience.
