What is so good about being female?

In all honestly I'm sick of being female right now.

We have to go through periods, pregnancy (obviously if you want to), smear tests, mammograms.

We get paid less than men still, left behind for promotions as managers see women going off on maternity leave and childcare so don't feel they are as worthy.

We deal with unwanted advances from men, there's been so many murders of women walking home alone so that's another thing we can't do safely.

We deal with the housework, childcare, running of the household all whilst working.

Seriously what is so great about being female as I'm not seeing any positives anymore

(Side note: I've just been for an agonising smear test so feeling very angry at what we women have to deal with)

Our emotional intelligence and our friendships, without a doubt. The unique kind of fun we have.

The physical stuff, the safety factor and the discrimination totally sucks though

Menopause can be shit.

We definitely get a raw deal with hormones but there are some advantages to being female just not that many.

I find most men very much an 'unfinished symphony' whereas women are much more developed as a human. We have less design faults!
