I guess I could fake it but since I analyze everything to a T, I'm not a very good liar so I usually either refrain from doing fun sexxxy stuffz or cry and shrivel up into a ball from guilt afterwards. I can't be one of those cool girls that rises above the stigma and has fun. I can't. I feel like I'm really doing something WRONG, especially if I'm really enjoying it.
Like, how a guy who sleeps with a lot of girls is a hero of sorts, a 'stud.' Whereas a girl who sleeps with a lot of guys is dirty, rank, and a 'slut.' It's double standards yes, and it sucks, but I think these kind of societal issues happen with both genders. I find my gender has held me back in life many times but I could say the same for guys that I know. Like boobs said, it's all social stigma.

However, the biggest thing that I dislike about being a girl is the biological/ physical factor. For one, having babies. Who wants to go through 9 months of hell and then the most painful thing commonly experienced by human beings? Followed by months and months of sore, swollen tits and feeling uncomfortable as fuck and tired from no sleep and having lost your career? Because as much as men are becoming active parents in modern society, evidence shows that the mothers are still the primary carers of kids.

Periods are also shit. I don't know how you could say you enjoy bleeding litres of blood from your insides every single month. Some girls have periods with no pain. Some do. Periods fucking hurt and are uncomfortable and just not fun.

Being on the contraceptive pill also sucks balls. For many it doesn't, but for many there are a plethora of really shit and uncomfortable side effects. Most guys these days that I've met or been involved have the attitude that now that we are living in a modern society with medical advancements such as the pill, they don't have to wear condoms or take any precautions themselves because girls can just take the pill. The pill sucks, and I've gone through so many different types but there is still a huge list of horrible side effects like weight gain, headaches, nausea, mood changes, brain fog, and more.

There are a huge more list of things but I can't be bothered going into them really and I'll probably be flamed or set off some kind of crazy war again. Both genders are disadvantaged in different ways, experience different things, and have hardships with different aspects of their lives. These are just some of the things I dislike about being a girl. Which is not to say I wish I was a man... sometimes, fleetingly, I just think about it.
