I’m considering becoming a female so females of Bored Panda, what are the good things and bad things about being a female

well biological female here, it sucks if i'm being honest but it's a plus if you don't have to go through the hormones involved with it naturally. there can be harassment from people and people not thinking you're good enough just because you're a woman. but doing your hair and makeup is fun, and clothing choices are pretty fun (aside from the almost nonexistent POCKETS)
Pockets are GODLY, I found a pretty dress that was machine washable, comfy, and had pockets and I actually cried.
Pros: Most, if not all women will look out for each other in situations that might be dangerous, like bars, clubs, walking home at night, etc. The hairstyles are amazing and generally more accepted, makeup is fun, and you'll get a lot more affection and compliments from your friends.
Cons: No pockets, catcallers, some women see you as "competition", your emotions are blamed on your period no matter what, and general sexism. Also beauty standards are a b***h
My youth pastor would always ask one of the guys whenever he needed help with carrying something. It's like, "hello, I'm here too", and he completely ignored the fact I did just as much heavy lifting as the senior guys when we volunteered at camp. I know I'm a smaller woman, but can't you at least give me a chance? Haven't I proven myself? I'm still very salty about this.
Pros: Uhhhhhhhhh idk anymore
Cons: Periods, no female rights, other stuff I’m too lazy to type and explain
Female here. I'm just going to keep this light since I'm sure sexism and loss of rights will be brought up. So cons. Menstruating! It's messy, ruins good underwear, and can be painful and uncomfortable. Also pockets. Why are pockets in women's pants so small? It's annoying. On to pros, we live longer, don't have to wear 3 piece pant suits in the summer, and multiple orgasms 😁
Pros: I can’t think of much except I would be absolutely hopeless as a man. People generally aren’t afraid of women, so I guess that’s good sometimes. I like taking care of people and pets; I’m a pretty good caregiver. But, so are some men. I like being a woman, being feminine. I hate that the cons make being a woman so difficult.
Cons: Rampant misogyny. Having to ask my dad or brother to help me deal with misogynists sometimes. Not being as physically strong as a man. No one taking me seriously because I’m also short and killing my feet wearing high heels just to get a bit of attention. Always being on alert. Feeling vulnerable. Periods. Cramps. Menopause. Pee pads (even without having had children). Constantly being underestimated. Not having complete agency over my own body. Being followed by random men. Being hit on by men when I was underage. Men not taking NO for an answer. Sexual harassment.
PS: I have deep respect for trans women. You choose to be a woman and deal with a lot of the cons. So many cons. In my opinion that makes you as much a woman as a CIS woman.
Pros:
•I can wear tons of different styles, masc and fem, and it looks great, and everyone (mostly) is okay with it.
•Hairstyles!!
•makeup is fun
•Girls are usually pretty nice to each other and compliments are common when you have nice friends
Cons:
•Hormones go brrrrr
•People don’t really take your opinion seriously
•”is it ‘your week’”
•Don’t walk alone without any form of self defense
Pros: If you're have a sharp and witty tongue, men are usually taken aback.
Cons: periods, never thinking you're good enough, tight clothes, being "weak" (I do a form of MMA so f**k that), and sexism.
pros:
-girl bosses 👸
-we slay 👑
-hair grows super fast 💇♀️
-we rock every single damn outfit 💅
cons:
-pocketless jeans
-hair grows too fast (con for people who want short hair but need to get a haircut every month to keep length!)
-high body expectations (usually higher than expectations for guys!)
