“The best thing about being a woman is the prerogative to have a little fun”

Many of you will know the song “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!” by Shania Twain, the power anthem to let loose and go have a little (or a lot) of fun! After all that, the morning after may seem a little blurry, heavy, or headachy, leading to quite a few questions and missed calls from your ex. Where did your nail extensions go, where is your left shoe, how and when did you get that ankle tattoo…

Little problems that come with feeling like a woman! And what better way to encompass them than in meme form? And so today we’ll be looking at the most relatable posts shared in the “Female Problems” Facebook group. A little disclaimer—just because these are little hilarious bits about stereotypically feminine situations, doesn’t mean that each of us can’t find something to cackle at! 

Therefore, dear reader, as you’re scrolling through this list, make sure you’re upvoting your favorites, leaving comments and funny stories in the sections below, and if you’re craving a little more, here’s another Bored Panda article for you to devour. Now let’s get into it! 

More info: Facebook

Long nails, makeup, silly ex-boyfriends, high heels that hurt the toes, periods, hair maintenance, weight maintenance, youth maintenance… All these things can be classified as “Female Problems.” Not to say boys or non-binary folk can’t experience ’em, but by society’s norms and “traditional” gender roles, this is what we attribute to women. 

Why not laugh at the silliness of it all? Life’s too short to be grumpy when you can be fabulous! Thanks to the Facebook group conveniently named “Female Problems,” we’ve got quite a bit to chuckle about. However, whilst we have the silliness, we should also talk about the very serious problems women of today face.

Never understood why people blow so much on a one day party. Or why people get married, for that matter.

The drive towards gender equality and the feminist movement are some things that have rooted themselves in society quite recently when considering all of human history. That, of course, means that the journey towards a society where gender determines very little is still a long way away, with female issues still prevalent in the world. 

ADVERTISEMENT

As listed by UN Women, these issues include violence against women and girls, the gender pay gap, the digital gender divide, domestic work versus career, period poverty and stigma, and underrepresentation as leaders. We’re just scratching the surface with these, but they’re good enough to start with.

Every day, in every country in the world, women are confronted by discrimination and inequality. As stated by Oxfam International, women all over the world face violence, abuse, and unequal treatment at home, at work, and in their wider communities—and are denied opportunities to learn, to earn, and to lead.

Women form the majority of those living in poverty. They have fewer resources, less power and less influence compared to men, and can experience further inequality because of their class, education, ethnicity and age, as well as religious and other fundamentalism. The World Economic Forum estimates it will take another century before true gender equality becomes a reality, as long as these elements continue to drive a gap between genders.

While both men and women contract various conditions, some health issues affect women differently and more commonly. Illnesses such as breast cancer, ovarian and cervical cancer, as well as pregnancy complications, heart disease, and gynecological health matters, present themselves most often. 

Sadly, many women’s health conditions go undiagnosed, and most drug trials do not even include female test subjects. It may come as a surprise that including female participants in clinical studies only started in the late 1980s and was only made mandatory in the US in 1993, per National Institutes of Health guidelines.

Even some 30 years later, the scales remain out of balance. For example, as shared in Harvard Health, 70% of those affected by chronic pain conditions are women, whereas 80% of pain research is conducted on males. Although medicine is finally moving towards a more inclusive practice, it’s not close to the level it needs to be.

Speaking of medical practices, one should not forget about the practice of female genital mutilation (FGM), a procedure where the female genitals are deliberately cut, injured or changed, without a medical reason, but for a cultural, religious or social reason in the mistaken belief that it will benefit the girl in some way. 

According to UNFPA, an estimated 200 million girls and women alive today are believed to have been subjected to FGM; but rates of FGM are increasing, as a reflection of global population growth. UNFPA and UNICEF jointly lead the largest global program to accelerate the elimination of FGM and provide care for its consequences.

Although we laugh at the little things that being a woman brings, there are a lot of things that still need a lot of work and effort to make the world a more welcoming place to live. It’ll take generations for anything to shift in a significant way; however, it can start with each and every one of us.

Three months ago in Smithsonian magazine: Car companies are only required to test vehicle safety using crash dummies modeled after men. Compared to men, women are 17 percent more likely to die in a car crash and 73 percent more likely to sustain serious injuries in a front-end collision. Yet despite these discrepancies, car companies are only required to test vehicle safety using crash dummies modeled after the average man. Currently, when the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration tests how women respond to crashes, it uses just a scaled-down version of a male dummy. At 4-foot-11 and 108 pounds, it's roughly the size of a 12-year-old girl and represents the smallest five percent of women. In addition to being, on average, smaller and lighter than men, women also have differences in muscle strength and in the shape of the torso, hips and pelvis. These differences all change how their bodies respond to crashes. Nov 4, 2022

Now, Swedish researchers have created a crash dummy that better represents the female body, writes BBC News’ Shiona McCallum. Their dummy is 5-foot-3 and weighs about 137 pounds, per the publication. The team put emphasis on its chest shape and gave the female-modeled dummy a lower joint stiffness than its male counterpart. It’s equipped with sensors and transducers to measure the force exerted on each part of the body during a car crash.

I know this is usually general knowledge, but just in case - To determine how close you are supposed to be to the steering wheel: Have your shoulders resting flat against the back of your seat. Separately, keeping each arm straight, make sure that you are able to touch the heal of your palm to the top of the steering wheel in the middle. If your arm is bent, you're too close. If your shoulders leave the back rest, you're too far away. If your arms are completely straight at 10 & 2 on the steering wheel, in the event of an impact, you will likely end up with injuries to your wrists, arms, elbows, and shoulders. You're also more likely to cause injuries to your neck. As far as distance from the pedals, you should never be able to fully straighten out your legs. If you have an impact, you will likely end up with injuries to your ankles, legs, knees, and hips. And lastly, never drive with your thumbs hooked over the steering wheel, or over the airbag. They will get broken.

I house sat for my friends while they went on their honeymoon. I also used their car. I am 5'2" (just under 158 cm). I borrowed a throw pillow to sit on. They asked me why I couldn't just pull the seat forward more. These are two men. I looked at them and said "boobs".
