How often does being a woman hinder you?

[OfTheCross]

I was thinking about this the other day when my girl didn't feel comfortable giving food to a homeless man...

I did it cause I'm a man and if need be I'd beat him up...but y'all face this shyt everyday

Give other examples, if possible

I don't think it hinders me, just need to be extra vigilant if in a high risk environment e.g. travelling alone, walking on a quiet part of the street after dark, consuming beverages that have been pre-opened, maintaining personal space on crowded trains, being aware of the line between polite interaction with a male to giving mixed signals to being too harsh when turning him down....

Maybe some of these things guys don't have to think about but if you grow up doing it it's no big deal, we've had lots of practice. We'd probably notice the difference if we lived as a guy for a day and didn't have to think about it at all.

Actually....Having short hair all the time! Can't do that as a female and wouldn't want to. Not wearing makeup! Ageing (somehow a 50 year old man who's physically fit is a silver fox but a woman is just old!), having kids really late (there is a timer on these eggs), not having to shave/wax/thread...okay that is definitely something that being a woman hinders me from doing, it seems wrong not to but if I were a guy hair on my legs would be as it was meant to be

Culturally, having an active social life that includes nights out in the town. Not sure I would actually do that if I were a guy but upbringing hinders me as a female.

i'm not sure hinders is the right word but there is definitely some gender bias in the world
some examples include:

• A lot of times it is implied that a woman hit the jobs outside of other reasons than her being intelligent and capable.
• if you are competent and a leader people call you a bytch
• men typically don't have to worry about random street violence or street harassment.
• its automatically assumed that if you are single and childless that it is because you are an undercover lesbian, you are infertile or crazy and no man wants you
• if a man abandoned his family, he will get talked about but not as bad as a woman that did the same.
• A lot of insurance companies would not cover birth control but would cover viagra
• In a lot of families, men are favored over women hence the term, women raise their daughters but love their sons
• Women who have lots of sex are deemed whores unworthy of respect but men doing it is just men being men.
• People are quick to call women gold diggers but will say nothing about men who marry celebrity/wealthy women for the same reasons (like scary spice's husband)
• Women are expected to be everything to everyone to the point where she is killing herself from neglecting her health, but no one will dare help, they would rather sit there and talk about "how she let herself go". If she does put herself first people complain that she is selfish

It doesn't hinder me but I know in certain areas I will always be at a disadvantage.

hmmm....

ive been with a few women who rub their clit from outside of their panties and have clitoral orgasms during this period...

isnt that enough? or does a woman just *NEED* that vaginal one?



I will never understand women but I will keep trying to until the day I pass

Like anything...there's good and bad.

Bad: Periods, ugly men who hate women, children bearing
Good: Everything else
