You know how sometimes we would complain on and on how hard it is to be a girl? (Doh... Period comes around monthly so we expected it) I just wanna know what you think is really the worst thing about being a girl. I don't know if there's been another topic on this. If there was, sorry.

For me, I think it's how we are more susceptible to society's image of beauty and perfection. You open up a magazine and all the girls strut around with perfect bodies in skimpy bathing suits. I could never do that.

You forgot childbirth.

i agree with you and Idyll... goshh i hate it when we gotta look beautiful or skinny to b like.. u noee.. and childbirth gosh.. im glad im not dere yet.

I agree... it's not like they can ever put a NORMAL sized person in one of the magazines... NOOOOOOOOOOOO, it's just to hard

hmm..i derno.. how woman get paid less.. nd .. people doubt woman .. lol. .i have no idea how to explain what im trying to say

i think christina aguileras song "cant hold us down" says it all.

sexism = bullsh!t

how we women get into "cat" fights....we lose more friends that way LoL and how men think that women cant do anything that they can

it's gonna change this coming generation..

more schoools are dedicated to girls only... and ppl look at girls differently in most cases... other than the music videos Snoop Dogg, J-Kwon, G-Unit produce... where girls are like... sluts and whores and servants..

hmm...i would have to say maintaining my image like straightening my hair and putting on makeup...it takes too long lol

Childbirth scares the hell outta me

I would say, that the whole keeping an image is a big thing, and the fact that men sometimes just use us to show off. I would have to agree with almost all of you...

yea besides wat u guyz said, another thing thats bad about being a girl would have to be these emotional rides we get, well wat i get neways.... sometimes i would be happy then depressed then grumpy....i hate it esp when i'm PMSing...

childbirth is a blessing, ladies. remember that.

as for worst thing about being a girl, that's probably our natural ability to gossip and how we can lose a lot of friends that way.

yea im guessing child birth lol

+periods and getting cramps
+giving a birth to a child
+getting raped by a guy a lot (but not me...some girls)
.

so scary

childbirth
and if we act some ways we get automatically called a b*tch, slut, whore etc..
sexism
self consiousness(sp)

Childbirth. -___-

getting called a slut! girls have needs too!

and living up for to expectations. i hate it how guys think we need to look perfect all of the time, or else they wont give you a second glance.

waiting for a guy to ask you out... like i cant go up to someone and ask a guy up... i think that would be wierd

Relationships, man.. seriously. -_-
And all that other "girl" stuff. >_>

ya...that. and also child birth >< an we always hav to look skinnys and stuff. -_-

girls can be alot meaner thatn guys can. and you have to dress a certain way, well in my school, to be 'cool' cuz we were polos and tan pants, so you gotta have the good polos, tight pants, or short skirts.

I hate it when people look down at girls just because they don't look a certain way. Now it's like all that's important are looks. And when your open up those magazines, you see skinny model w/tons of makeup on. I bet a magazine would never dare to put a plus-size woman on their magazine.

Emotions. Girls are way too emotional.

how when guys cheat on u they are called "PLAYAS" and when u cheat back on them ur suddenly a "SLUT or a WHORE"...besides childbirth and PMSing.....i dont really have the image problem!...but i guess that can be true too!

i think the worst thing about being a girl is that a girl can get pregnant and goes through 9 months of pain and it kills when the child comes out [my mom likes to watch the shows where ppl give birth and they're screaming nd stuff so it obv hurts ? lol, but when my cousin gave birth, she said it didnt hurt a bit cuz they numbed her....] so yeah and i wish girls can't get pregnant and guys can lol

Childbirth, and having eveyone think girls cant do anything by themselves.

childbirth! and most of the girls here said sexism and i have to agree with that.

Yeah, the whole double standard thing sucks.

I don't know if this can go under what I hate about being, a girl, but there are definitely two things I strongly dislike/hate about girls in general:
- Girls are (or have the potential to be) sneaky, cruel, revengeful.
- The gossip, ughhh.

IMO, I think childbirth is a beautiful thing. Not a downside.

I hate how insecure (safety wise) you can get just because you're a girl. When you're alone in the city you could get raped, kidnapped, robbed... a lot more easily than a guy.

CHILDBIRTH.
although i hear getting kicked in the balls is supposed to be much more painful?

Mood swings, cramps, and sexism. Oh and having to spend so much money on clothes/looking pretty for guys/ect, what Suzzette said.

I always thought giving birth with be an asset women love, the ability to give life. Oh wait, the PAIN.

i dislike double standards A LOT. i can accept the other things...

For me, the worst things are the obvious period/pain of giving birth thing and the double standards. I hate that so much.

Maybe most females say that childbirth is a downside because until/unless they actually give birth, the pain is what they're most worried about.

Gimme an epidural, STAT!

Sexism.
Having to look good being such a big priority sometimes.
Oh, and I'm scared of giving birth...

Childbirth. It looks painful. oo;

the expectation people have for us.
i was actually thinking about this today for some odd reason.
most guys aren't really exepted to have the perfect body or anything. most girls however, are. people are considering good bodies skinnier everyday. and as a result, most girls are doing one of two things.
a) starving themselves.
or
b) having extremely low self-esteem.

^That is actually rebounding and bringing social norms back to a healthy weight instead of being super skinny. A lot of modeling agencies etc. are making girls weigh a certain minimum and not taking the super skinny ones anymore

this is a channel model. and she is just one of the many current models with their ribs poking out.

Yea m, im a guy. That's a very good point you made there. Though, when the guys does give you the 2nd glance it makes you feel kind of special. :)
