“What’s The Scariest Thing About Being A Woman?”: 45 People Share Their Honest Answers

Having been the classic skinny weakling as a teen, and enduring years of bullying, I can agree with that last line. My conclusion is that a huge percentage of males are psychopaths.

The last line is black and white. Nothing is black and white. I spent 20 years married to a controlling and violent woman.

And is wrong Woman face hardship through a majority of men and men face hardship because of a majority of other men is better

its also wrong.

But it's not entirely true.

I would add that men have hardship because of women too. Why not be honest and include all? In the same time, women may face hardship from other women too.

That last line is utter BS and a double standard. Men have problems because of women ALL THE TIME. All of you are not angels.

After ten years of MAGA propaganda I'm not sure where to start. A large portion of the USA wants to treat women very badly.

Right to healthcare, right to be safe in your city/bus/workspace/home, right for equal pay for equal jobs, right to equal representation, ....

We do not have the legal right over our own bodies. If we want to have an abortion regardless of the reason, in some states we have to go to court to ask permission for surgery on our own bodies. In some states, women cannot get birth control even if it's not for birth control prevention. I wanted to have my tubes tied and I had to go through counseling and education classes to have them tied to fully understand I would not be able to provide future children to my future husband 🙄 (I never married and I never had children by choice. ) The day the surgery the doctor to do the surgery was sick and the doctor that took over decided that I didn't know what I was actually asking for and put experimental clamps on my tubes which is caused me lifelong problems. But I couldn't sue at the time because he was paid by the states medical system. That doctor changed what I wanted because I was a woman and didn't believe I could know or should do it without a husband's permission.

Ranger - in most places women are not given the same rights as men. It is only when men agree that women should have some rights that they are granted. Sadly women in general are given mixed messages. Be smart, but don't be too smart; be sexy, but don't act sexy; get a good job, but don't outperform men; have an opinion, but don't tell anyone what it is; etc. We don't need politicians to decide what we can, and cannot do. We are human beings, and whether we get healthcare, an education, a good job, a right to our own beliefs ... none of that should be regulated by the whims of policies.

Right to have a pregnancy terminated

Sorry others did that. In the US, women’s access to abortion and reproductive rights are under fire. We are no longer protected by law if we get an abortion. For whatever reason a woman needs this…it shouldn’t be politicized. Men don’t experience this. If a woman is raped, and become pregnant …in many states…you can’t get an abortion if you don’t know you’re pregnant after 6 weeks….you are now carrying your rapists child. Even if your life is threatened (ectopic pregnancy for example)…a doctor can loose his license, she can go to jail if she doesn’t die first. These are trying times for women. (Looking 👀 at you Texas !)

Where do you live that doesn't treat its females as third class citizens behind dogs? It ain't the US, that's for sure.

First, sorry about the downvote goblins. Have an upvote. Second, I live in a backwater shithole of a country that says I can’t have a medical abortion, but hey let’s make contraceptives super expensive and hard to get. Of course let’s make sure it’s almost impossible to find a doctor that will treat you seriously if you’re a woman. Oh, and let’s elect multiple sexual predators to positions of power, what could go wrong? And while we’re at it let’s also make sure queer and disabled and black/brown people are treated horribly too, we gotta make sure those pesky minorities are kept in line.

The worldwide treatment of women as second class citizens. Here is a starting point for you https://www.amnesty.org/en/what-we-do/discrimination/womens-rights/#:~:text=But%20across%20the%20globe%20many,to%20education%2C%20and%20inadequate%20healthcare.

Roe vs. Wade. Now a woman's body and what happens to it has been decided by politics

Overturning Roe V. Wade.

You clearly do live under a rock.

In the USA their government has taken away women's right to an abortion.

You shouldn’t be downvoted for sure, but if you live in the US… shame on you for not knowing. Pretty sure this (again if OP is in US) refers to loss of bodily autonomy with the abortion ruling. That said, look at countries like Afghanistan, Algeria, Iraq, Iran…. Women’s rights can be removed pretty easily it would seem.

I think it means the lack of say women have in the abortion debate, I'm not sure

is in US, go out and vote! Don't listen to anybody else, vote what feels right for you!

Maybe a just a quick search would have helped. You called this on yourself, as you are obviously completely out of touch and have no female friends to help you out.

sorry ranger, people who have their heads in a hole and zero idea of what is happening politically are the worst.

@intermzonno1 - Tate stating what he'd do if a woman accused him of cheating: "“It’s bang out the machete, boom in her face and grip her by the neck. Shut up b***h.”

i never heard a podcast truly advocate for that because youtube is only allowing violence against men, not the other way around, so i wonder whats the source this, how many podcasts on public platforms she is talking about

People like to blame feminism for rising rates of anxiety and depression in women rather than every other f*****g thing wrong in the world. But no, it's certainly because we have rights now. Just look how happy men depicted housewives in the 50's as being! /s

You are your daughters' primary male example and will greatly influence them. I've read many of your comments, and it sounds like you're doing a really good job in setting a great example for them. Take heart in that.

Darling we're already moving backwards on these issues.

I believe that they are minority but they are very loud. It's because they are frustrated.

Oo, I saw that movie! So messed up but so good!

Just read the plot summary on Wikipedia and JESUS H CHRIST that is f*****g grim.

Very good movie, different than any other.
